#Compass is a mobile game created by NHN Playart and DWANGO/Nico Nico Douga, which is free for everyone. The game itself is very interesting and is played with other people. It is a team combat game, so there are 3v3 player battles, and one can play along with their friend. The aim is to find five portal keys that will be scattered across the map, and the team to find the most keys win. The concept is interesting, and the thrill of adventure keeps the players intrigued.
The game has several characters that one can play, and they are generally referred to as Heroes. These heroes have different roles assigned to them, like that of Attackers, Gunners, Sprinters, and Tanks. Players can choose the characters that they want to play, as each of them has special skills. Each Hero has a unique theme that has been made for them.
There is also a social place where players can hang out when they are not in battle. It is a great community to make friends and hang out with people who have the same interests as you. The game launched in 2016 and has 15 million downloads worldwide. The new project has announced certain new animations along with the introduction of new manga and novel spin-offs.
