In Embark's new multiplayer shooter The Finals, players have a variety of weapons they can use to defeat opponents, but guns are only one part of a player's kit: Specializations and Gadgets round out your loadouts and when used effectively are instrumental to success.
The Finals is in Beta now, and is a huge blast - literally. Members of Embark used to work on EA's Battlefield series, and have taken their talent for destruction to new heights for The Finals. Nearly everything in the game can be destroyed, leaving historic cities like Seoul and Monte Carlo smoking piles of rubble. The main game mode has players work in teams of three to capture cash boxes and take them to cashout stations for points, a bit like Capture the Flag, but with more explosions.
