Last month, Fairytale Distillery and the Das Tal team announced that alpha testing would commence sometime in July. That sometime has now been announced as officially happening on July 20th. The initial pool of testers will be selected from over a thousand applicants. The first round of alpha testing will be focused on PvP with hints of the story behind the game.
This early build will focus on having fun with some good old-fashioned PvP combat.. The gameplay will involve two clans battling it out over five key landmarks on the map, earning points to win the round with the more landmarks they capture and defend. Players will choose between three armor classes and three weapons sets, combining these however they like to fit their playstyle. The playtests will focus on fast paced and diverse combat situations with this mix of characters fighting for map control. Additional features such as experience gains, character progression and proper clan warfare will come later in development.
The team says it's not too late to apply for alpha testing, so head to the Das Tal site and sign up!
