While game publisher Uforia might not be a name familiar to the gaming masses, that hasn’t stopped the new online publisher from jumping headfirst into Red War: Edem’s Curse, a new fantasy MMORPG comparable to dungeon-crawler classics like Diablo.
Game Operations Producer Mike Min is excited about the opportunities Red War’s new open-beta cycle will allow: “We recently completed a very successful closed beta where we had hundreds of players from all over the world experience the game and provide some thoughtful feedback. Now we are opening up the game to even more players to come and experience the world of Red War.”
Red War: Edem’s Curse introduces players to the worlds of Alies and Meltya as one of three character classes: Warrior, Ranger, and Mage. Gameplay challenges players to protect their home world of Alies from invasion at the hands of the inhabitants of Meltya, and the dark forces of Qelian.
In the new open beta, players can take full advantage of the social aspects of the game by meeting new players while exploring the new maps and challenging the new monsters that have been added since the game’s closed beta cycle. The open beta also allows players to get a jump on their competitors by earning unique items and strengthening their characters which will be retained once the game goes live (no character wipes here).
At the time of this writing, a full release date has not been set, but the full game is set to provide a series of unique aspects not normally found in MMORPGs including (but not limited to): daily player-vs-player tournaments based on skill rather than level (with each player being set to the same level to ensure an even playing field), castle sieges, the ability to clone your character for use in hunting parties or for item storage and much more, all in a free-to-play format.
