“Valorant” is a free-to-play multiplayer tactical first-person shooter developed and published by Riot Games, the company known for “League of Legends”. It was officially released in June 2020. The game is designed for Microsoft Windows and is played from a first-person perspective.
The gameplay of “Valorant” is similar to that of “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive”, with two teams of five players each, where one side is the attacking team and the other is the defending team. Each player plays as one of the available “Agents”, each of whom has unique abilities to aid in the game. The objective of the attacking team is to plant a bomb, known as the Spike, in a designated area, while the defending team must prevent this and defuse the Spike if it is planted.
“Valorant” is praised for its high skill ceiling and competitive nature. It combines elements from other popular shooting games and adds its own unique twist with the use of character abilities. The game offers a variety of Agents, each with unique abilities that can be used to gain an advantage in matches. These abilities, combined with the gunplay, make “Valorant” a team-based game where strategy and quick decision-making are just as important as shooting accuracy.
Like many other games, “Valorant” also features a ranking system. As players win matches, they increase their rank. The highest rank one can achieve is “Radiant”.
The game also regularly receives updates from Riot Games, which may include new agents, maps, or bug fixes to improve gameplay.
