Guardians of Middle-earth incorporates the standard elements of a typical multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, with a strong emphasis upon team coordination. Up to ten players may split into two teams of five and from a pool of thirty-six guardians from The Lord of the Rings franchise, including Gandalf, Sauron and Radagast,[3] and coordinate to win matches by destroying the opposing team's base.[4] Unlike most other MOBA titles, Guardians of Middle-earth emphasizes home console, rather than desktop, gameplay, in order to gain a "cinematic" experience.[5]


Reception


Guardians of Middle-earth received mixed reviews. It scored a 7.5/10 from IGN.[citation needed] Many users have problems with the games interfacing on PC, as well as numerous glitches in connectivity.[citation needed]

As of April 2019, Steam has removed Guardians of Middle Earth from their store page.[citation needed]
