Gameplay[]
Gameplay is similiar to WOW and Tron Evolution. You can explore a large version of the grid from the Tron Movies and do activities like Lightcycle Racing and Disc Wars to earn Gigabytes this games EXP which can be used to upgrade your characters abilities and weapons and vehicles. There is also missions you can do which process the story and plot leading to the end fight with a fused version of Clu 2.0 and Abraxas from Tron Evolution. You can also chat and hangout in the city or in the end of line club. You can also summon a Lightcycle to race with friends or enemies anywhere. So far The announced Regenade Expansion Pack will have combat feel more fluid with the ability to form alliances and string combos since you can only join staff-made alliances so far. There is also a profanity filter censoring both swear words and sexual language due to the games target demographic being pre-teens. You can also complete missions to gain rewards such as weapons or clothing for your character.
References[]
So far many hats in-game and gear reference a popular game or TV Show. Here are the references so far.
- Batman: There is a Hat called The Dark Avenger which gives you a fear buff letting you avoid fights completely. It resembles batmans helmet and Disney was nearly sued for stealing the design of the helmet from batman. Unfortunately users have long since been banned if your seen wearing it since its often worn by trolls in-game telling new users to press F+9 to get to the inventory when in fact it makes the game quit.
- Galaga: One of The Ranged Weapons called The Bug Blaster from the recent summer in the grid update resembles the hero from galaga and it deals a lot of damage and is classed as a heavy weapon.
- Gravity Falls: One of the music track names is a reference from the popular Disney animated show.
- Steven Universe: One of the Missions is named after one of the episodes from the popular Cartoon Network show.
- Pac-man:One of the custom Lightcycles you can buy off the DGM or Disney Game Market resembles the classic arcade character pac-man.
- Pulp Fiction: One of the things that Travoltas voice can say as a emote is glitching good milkshake. A reference to the pulp fiction line "F****ing Good Milkshake."
- Roblox:One of the weapons is called The Digital Avenger and resembles a Roblox sword much. It's an free item that can be unlocked with a promotional code on the tron online website where in the background random codes would pass by. Each of them would either unlock a weapon or cosmetic item to wear.
- Sonic: You can actually find a grave saying R.I.P Blue Blur Not Quick Enough, an obvious shoutout to Sonic and his nickname The Blue Blur.
