Spectre Divide pits three players against three in multiplayer combat.

Mountaintop’s Spectre Divide brings clever gameplay to PvP multiplayer shooter

Nate Mitchell scored a nice startup victory as a cofounder of Oculus. And now he’s coming out with another startup, Mountaintop, which showed off its Spectre Divide shooter game this week.

The PC game is a 3v3 multiplayer tactical shooter game with a unique twist: your spectre. You get to start out in the game with a twin, a virtual self, in the same match. And you can switch between the bodies during the match and use your twin to outmaneuver and outflank your enemies. You get the benefit of one mind, two bodies, Mitchell said in a game preview. That’s duality.
