Arc Games’ “MODA” Fellowship is officially entering beta today ahead of its Steam early access, now delayed until October 16th. In other words, now is the time to check it out before you’re playing for keeps. Arc is publishing the “MODA” – that is, a “multiplayer online dungeon adventure” – for studio Chief Rebel, who says the game “takes the best elements of MMOs, MOBAs and ARPGs.”
The open beta is running through Steam, so all you have to do is click to join it. It’s got some new features since the last test, too:
“This playtest will give players the chance to experience seven heroes (two Tanks, three DPS – including a recently-revealed DPS, Mara, and two Healers) who will be in Fellowship’s diverse roster of heroes, go on epic dungeon runs, take on challenging enemies and acquire epic loot along the way. Compared to the Steam Next Fest demo back in February, in addition to introducing a new DPS hero, Mara, the Open Beta introduces new gameplay systems, including a fresh take on matchmaking and group finding, and an engaging progression system including Weapons, Gems, Talents, Crafting, Legendary items and more. Additionally, the Open Beta introduces a new dungeon ‘Urrak Markets,’ new gameplay features like cosmetic customization allowing players to change the look of different pieces of armor, new Gear, new Mounts, new visual element improvements and improvements on previous gameplay mechanics based on Steam Next Fest player feedback.”
The event runs through September 23rd.
