Project Crossverse

Nexus Odyssey is a first person crossover hero shooter game developed by CCogStudios, and takes place in an interdimensional vortex which stretches to seventeen different universes. Currently, it can be bought from the Steam store for $5.00

Please take note that this game should not be taken too seriously and it is purely for entertainment purposes.

Synopsis
An interdimensional being named Mr. Time has recently been hired to entertain thousands of creatures across thousands of universes. To do so, he has taken 38 heroic characters and 38 villainous characters from various universes and he has forced them to fight with newly granted special abilities and weapons against one another in team-based combat across all of their universes.

Gameplay
As stated above, Nexus Odyssey is set in first person perspective of any of the champions of your choosing. Players can move around with WASD, look around and attack with the mouse, and use the left shift and e buttons to perform abilities. Each champion is also equipped with an Ultimate ability that they can’t access normally, requiring them to actively take part in doing damage and getting kills in order to perform the ability.

Getting kills, completing objectives and winning matches gives players large amounts of coins which they can then spend on items, cosmetics and character variants in the shop.

Despite the multiplayer campaign being the story driver, the main game focuses on joining multiplayer lobbies with other champions in teams of twelve and using their abilities and weapons to kill them and complete objectives such as pushing a payload, capturing a node, or destroying the enemy base. From the hub world, players can choose their game mode, map and team preferences outside of the Multiplayer Portal which they can then enter and try to play an online game.

Directors
Directors are a group of non-playable characters whose primary goal throughout all of Nexus Odyssey is to comment on certain events and occurrences that unfold as players play through multiplayer lobbies and guide them towards the end goal of accomplishing objectives, much like The Administrator from Team Fortress 2 or Athena from Overwatch.

Champions
Champions are the playable characters that characters control and use to play multiplayer matches and explore. Each Champion is organized by their alignment (hero or villain) and by one of the four classes available in the game (Assault, Control, Support, and Tank).

Assault
Assault champions are highly mobile characters, able to cross maps thanks to their mobility and earn kills with little difficulty thanks to high damage output. The Assault champion symbol is three bullets

Control
Control champions focus on halting enemy advancements with area denial and crowd control abilities, and possess versatile ability kits that allow them to displace enemy formations to allow allies to wipe them out. The Control champion symbol is a crosshair

Support
Support champions are the backbone of any team; whether this means healing teammates, buffing their stats to make them stronger, and often providing other types of utility that is crucial to victory. The Support champion symbol is a plus sign

Tank
Tank champions lead their allies into battle and keep them safe by providing protective barriers, by deterring enemy advancements with crowd control, and by making themselves bigger threats with high damage and self-sustaining abilities

Buffs and Bruises
While all characters can still be shot and killed as normal, certain characters such as Orisa and Arch-Illager, are immune and vulnerable to certain abilities, effects and types of attacks that other characters would suffer from normally. Buffs could be considered an alternate form of Passive abilities

Character Variants
Every character has two

Loot Boxes
Winning multiplayer matches of any game types reward players with loot boxes which provide players with any random locked item from either store and from either hero's or villain's. Each loot box only provides players with one reward per match however, and the rarity of each item increases or decreases the chances of earning a reward.

The Hub
The Hub is the general location of Nexus, and serves as a replacement for a main menu similar to in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 and Battle for Neighbourville. Players will first spawn as either a random hero or a random villain on their side of the hub and they will be able to explore the hub world and visit locations as well as collect the 100 Amiibo figurines hidden around the four main segments of the hub.

Avenger's Facility
Spawning in as a hero, or changing from villain to hero at Arkham Asylum, will take you to the Avenger's Facility that's commonly seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where players will be able to roam around the outskirts of the building. From here, players can access the Tem Shop (the shop with all of the unlockable items and character variants for the heroes), the multiplayer portals, the character customization booth, switch to the villains team, and head to the Nexus Terminal inside the base's building.

Arkham Asylum
Spawning in as a villain, or changing from hero to villain at the Avenger's Facility, will take you to Arkham Asylum that's commonly seen in the Batman comic books, movies and video games where players will be able to roam around the entrance and courtyard. From here, players can access Argit's Emporium (the shop with all of the unlockable items and character variants for the villains), the multiplayer portals, the character customization booth, switch to the heroes team, and head to the Nexus Terminal inside the base's building.

Giddy Park
Giddy Park is a large amusement park located in the center of the hub, and connects the Avenger's Facility, Arkham Asylum, and Slender's Forest all together. In this large open zone, players can fight one another if they're on opposing teams and play mini-games and even hop on some of the larger rides such as the ferris wheel. A majority of hidden Amiibos are found here.

Slender's Forest
Only accessible through Giddy Park, Slender's Forest is a large zone open to exploration by you and you alone. Here, players can explore the entire forest and complete missions, fight bosses, and solve the mystery of why Slender's Forest is dying as a side story. Hidden Amiibo figures are also common here. Players can choose a team of four champions from either alignment and will only operate one at a time but can access a menu to switch to another hero.

Hidden Amiibos
Across the Avenger's Facility, Arkham Asylum, Giddy Park and Slender's Forest, there are 100 hidden Amiibo figures (the same ones Nintendo released) scattered around and hiding in obscure locations for players to find and collect. Currently, collecting amiibos don't actually provide players any sort of benefits, they're just for fun collection purposes.

Multiplayer Portals
The hero and villain bases host their own Multiplayer Portal and terminal near the side of the interior wall. These portals take players to a game lobby in order to play games, but first players must access the terminal and choose what game type they want to play, choose the game mode, than choose their map and alignment preferences (they can choose hero, villain, random, one after the other, etc.) and then open the portal to find the lobby.

The Nexus Terminal
The hero and villain bases have an interior section dedicated to the Nexus Terminal. The Nexus Terminal is a large portal that takes players to the Story Mode chapter selection page and can choose any of the unlocked and available chapters to choose from, choose whether or not they want to play the normal story mode or the "Any Champions" mode and they can also play on any difficulty.

The Tem Shop/Argit's Emporium
The Tem Shop and Argit's Emporium serve as the shops of the Hero and Villain groups, with The Tem Shop being owned by Temmie from Undertale who is working for the hero's team while Argit's Emporium is owned by Argit from Ben 10 who is working for the villain's team. Both shops provide their side with cosmetics, unlockable items, character variants and all sorts of personal stuff for their respective characters.

Plot
Story Mode starts off with where the opening cinematic left off, with the seventy six champions from around the universe being forced to fight across multiple universes. However, eight months later they're still fighting and killing each other over and over. During their one day break however, a few of the heroes reveal that they've found a way to break free of imprisonment and have come up with a foolproof plan to save their universes from being possibly forever enslaved.

With the plan set, all of the champions band together and tear a hole in the dimensional rift to gain access to all of their universes which they discovered are chained up and they split off in groups of four and five to try and break the chains.

Gameplay
Story Mode can be accessed by heading to the Nexus Terminal on either side of the hub. Players entering it can choose which chapter to play through, only being able to choose from the ones they've beaten or are up to, and can choose whether to play the normal mode or the 'All Champions' mode which can only be played through if you've beaten the normal mode at least once. After choosing either mode, players can select the difficulty and then jump into the portal where they must wait for either three or four other players to join them. On the Chapter Selection screen, players can see their best record on that chapter as well as see what map they'll be playing on.

Every chapter has multiple objectives, hordes of enemies to defeat, a few cutscenes, most times a miniboss and at the end of the chapter is always a powerful boss that the team must overwhelm and destroy before destroying the chains in any way possible. The final chapter however ends when you defeat the boss as opposed to completing the objective.

Game Types
After accessing the Multiplayer Portal, players can choose whether to play one of four game types before gaining access to the game modes available.

Classic Mode
Play in an 8v8 objective-based game with people online in a Heroes vs. Villains fashion.
 * 1) Invasion: The attacking team must capture two control points on the map, one after the other, while the other team must prevent them from capturing both. Capturing the first point extends the time.
 * 2) King of the Hill: Both teams are on attack, and must capture one central control point and remain in control of the point until the progress bar reaches zero. The other team can take control of the point however
 * 3) Territory: Both teams own their own control point, and must compete to capture a central control point. The team that captures the point must then attempt to capture the enemy's control point while the enemy team must switch from offence to defence. Capturing the first point extends the time.
 * 4) Escort: The attacking team must escort a payload through a series of checkpoints and into the delivery point to win while the defending team must prevent them from moving forwards. Getting the payload through a checkpoint extends the time.
 * 5) Tug of War: Both teams are on attack, and must first capture the payload in the center of the map and then escort it into the enemy base to win. The other team can capture the same payload and start pushing it towards the other base too. If the time runs out, the team with the furthest progress wins.
 * 6) Takeover: The attacking team must capture a control point while the enemy team must prevent them from capturing it. If the point is captured, a payload must be pushed through a checkpoint into a delivery point while the defenders must halt their progress. Capturing the point, and pushing the payload through the checkpoint extends the time.
 * 7) Last Stand: The attacking team must launch an all-out assault of the defending base, reducing the large base's health from 5,000 to 0. The defending team must prevent them from destroying the base until time runs out.
 * 8) Siege: Both teams are on attack, and both teams have a 3,000 health base that they must protect from the enemy team whose goal is to destroy it by reducing its health to 0.

Arcade Mode
Play through unique game modes that add in new objectives, or play through a set of game modes but with the rules changed for a brand new gaming experience.
 * 1) Capture the Flag:
 * 2) Gnome Bomb:
 * 3) Egg Hunt:
 * 4) Roulette:
 * 5) No Alignment:

Battle Arena
Play in an arena environment while trying to kill the opponent. And if no one wants to fight, a locked control point will become accessible.
 * 1) Deathmatch: Kill opponents with your weapons and abilities in order to get to a score of 30!
 * 2) Outlast: In a 4v4 matchup, kill your opponents before they kill you! If anyone dies, they stay dead until the next match! First team to win 4 times in a row wins the whole game!
 * 3) Free for All:
 * 4) Quadruple Deathmatch:

Trivia

 * The icon was made using Placeit - Epic Logo Maker for a Fantasy RPG
 * The class system is reminiscient of the original class system of Overwatch, with the four classes being Offence, Defence, Support and Tank before they fused the Offence and Defence classes together to make Damage
 * The Defence class in Nexus was also altered a little to make the Control class since fans of Overwatch found the Defence class name being too specific even if the hero playstyles were still flexible
 * There are a series of reasons as to why the creator, CCogStudios, wanted to have the large cast of characters split into Heroes vs. Villains. The creator:
 * Wanted to have so many characters involved but it would be a little tricky to have a huge list of characters available in every round
 * Wanted to base a couple of concepts, like the two teams of different characters, off of the Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare series which has the plants on one team and the zombies on the other
 * Really liked the idea of having a game that's similar to the Heroes vs. Villains trope that many pieces of media use for entertainment purposes
 * There are currently seventeen different universes that the creator will be bringing into Nexus Odyssey
 * However, the presence of Slender's Forest hints at possibly hundreds of video game, movie, tv show and book universes being imprisoned in the same way as the main seventeen groups.
 * This theory is proven since one of the groups of characters (Samus, Isabelle, Wolf and Inkling Girl) is lumped together as the "Nintendo" group even though each one belongs in their own universe.
 * Same with the "Disney" group of characters (EVE, Baymax, Frozone, Emperor Zurg and Oogie Boogie) as all five of these characters belong in completely different universes but are all grouped together.
