Metaverse Game Studios announces the PC launch of its open multiplayer alpha for their first Blockchain-powered game. Starting August 6, Angelic: The Chaos Theatre opens its doors for players to immerse themselves in its ambitious party-based RPG mechanics.
Angelic: The Chaos Theatre offers an interesting take on established genre conventions by combining BioWare’s Mass Effect’s deep character progression with web3 foundations. Players embark on an old school RPG adventure with believable heroes and contribute to its collaborative multiplayer space.
The game features a familiar turn-based combat system. This allows players to lead their squad in strategic wins by making the right moves.
The devs posted a gameplay snippet of what to expect in its open alpha.
Customization options for heroes' appearances, abilities, and equipment are encouraged to maximize Angelic’s experience. Players active in the community can attain rewards known as ‘Community Points,’ these allow loyal users to purchase exclusive hero skins, higher-tier titles, ANGL tokens and more.
As of the moment, Angelic caters to both traditional players and web3 players. Players do not need to use any blockchain features to enjoy. However, in-game assets can be converted into smart contracts by utilizing various chains using Solana and Saga.
Players skeptical about the web3 integration should not worry. According to their Website’s FAQ, “Angelic is not a play-2-earn game. Angelic utilizes blockchain technology with a far larger and sustainable vision.”
The developers confirmed that any in-app purchases will be optional and purely cosmetic. Additionally, anyone can play Angelic without making any in-app purchases.
The PC version is the only available platform so far. The team at Metaverse Game Studios are aiming at next-gen consoles as a next step. Switch and mobile versions and companion apps are also being planned in the long run.
Angelic: The Chaos Theater is currently in its Early Access phase. Players can expect core gameplay mechanics and a portion of its story available to play. A demo is up on Steam for anyone curious.
