its a beta but not, just hit sign up and then you can download it instantly.

melee BR, kinda nifty, good movement. less laggy then you might expect if you are used to eastern looking freeware jank as in its supposedly actually quite playable even from east coast US (servers in Cali).

I dabbled with it last night. It's right up one of my many alleys. I am impressed with the overall quality. It looks great and the total rip off of the Apex Legends interface and cosmetic systems is actually welcome. A great touch is that while the "characters" are fixed, meaning their class, backstory and skill, their faces can be modified if you so decide like you would in any MMORPG. Good stuff.

Anyway, it poays good but despite my 20ms ping it did feel laggy which might majorly impact my fun. We'll see. So far, this is much much better than I expected. And better than the games it is cloning, specifically Shadow Arena and another one which was basically the same identical thing.

Steam is also liking it. 150k concurrent players at the moment.

Went through the tutorial then a match that I'm almost certain was against 100% bots. Feels fun as hell, but I'm not investing time until they're done server wiping.
