3 unique users, with varying levels of videogame experience.
Users were asked 31 questions based on various wireframe screens.
Users were asked a variety of questions as well as asked to complete simple tasks.
Findings
Certain aspects of the wireframes were unclear, such as chat prompts and back prompts.
Tooltips were better as something that button initiated rather than always persistent.
In character selection screens, the appearance of other characters being ready was confusing.
