Grimoire: Manastorm, a PC multiplayer shooter featuring fast-paced, MOBA-style tactical combat and spectacular magic attacks—is entering Open Alpha. Sign-ups for alpha access are available through a simple forum registration process and Alpha Opt-In.
Developed using the Unreal SDK by 4-man Indie outfit OmniConnection, Grimoire borrows from DotA 2 and League of Legends to deliver a unique spin on classic multiplayer shooter action. Introducing everything from devastating "ultimate" attacks to atypical shooter abilities like teleportation and invulnerability. Grimoire’s spells include everything from gravity-affected boulders to fireballs that increase in size the longer you charge them—even calling down massive meteor showers.
After an overwhelmingly positive Greenlight reception and the nod from Valve, you can now play Grimoire via Steam! Reinvigorated by this success, the team has been working hard to add polish and features to every area of the game in preparation for an early 2015 launch, but they need help! The servers must be filled, bugs must be crushed, and Omniconnection wants feedback on everything from balance to design. There is no better way to get in on the action than by joining the month-long Alpha extending from January 6th to February 1st.
Testers can expect weekly updates, regularly scheduled playtimes with the devs, responses to feedback, and all of the community interactions that make Indie development truly great. If you were looking for a good game to ring in the New Year, Grimoire might just be it.
