The HeroWarz Closed Beta Is Now Live
KOG Games, has officially entered Closed Beta. The Closed Beta will run from now until May 22nd and allows players to get a taste of the game's PvE mode with one of five different characters: Ara, Audrey, B, Derrick, and Nagne. The Arena TV PvP mode will not be playable during the Closed Beta.
There are several differences between the original Korean version of HeroWarz and the global version. Some of these differences are described as follows.
When compared to the Korean version of HeroWarz, many aspects of Global release have gone through major overhauls. In fact, the changes were so drastic that the internal code name for the project was 'Reboot'. So with the Global version, they've focused on enhancing what are considered the most fun elements from the Korean version, while vastly improving on or adding game features that they felt had been lacking.
The HeroWarz team went to great lengths to showcase the remarkable story, lore, and most importantly, the characters of HeroWarz. Each of the characters possess their own unique story, design, playstyle, and of course, skills and abilities. That said, the characters will be one of the most appealing features of HeroWarz.
For example, nicknamed "Heavy Metal", the character Derrick can utilize these item ives to be cast into a character role and protect allies, or become a bulldozer, direct damage type and charge head-on, or deal AOE damage and commit to the sought after crowd control role. However, the skills don't directly change how the character handles, but compliment the very diverse and unique combat design of each character. The fun part... this can all change on the fly, as all you need to do is change out your gear to reflect your desired build strategy.
HeroWarz isn't another run of the mill, post-apocalyptic war song. HeroWarz tells a story about the destruction of reality and then the recreation. The omnipotent super-reality of dreams-become-reality is the foundation. The story progresses from the mundane perspective of how the recreation of civilization takes place, then branches out quickly, subtlety and then violently... incorporating a number of different realities. As players make their way through the game, they will encounter characters, stories and environments as if in a totally different world, a dreamscape. To Harry Kim (CEO of A.Storm), imagining and writing these new stories personify unconditional ion; possibly even more so than producing the game itself! In addition to the game's main story development, there are plans for an episodic-style release for each of HeroWarz playable characters.
