Oversoul Alpha Test

Posted by on 57 comments

It's finally here! The Oversoul Alpha test is LIVE!

OverSoul characters

You can play it here: http://devsoul.artix.com/test/Oversoul-bin/

For those of you who haven't been paying attention, Oversoul is a brand new Artix Entertainment game that's been in development for quite some time now. The Oversoul team includes Nulgath, Warlic, Rolith, Revontheus, Klunk, and Dilligaf. If you're a fan of the art and love the game, be sure to say so on facebook or twitter!

Oversoul is a PVPMMORPG unlike any of our other games. The gameplay revolves around using battlecards to battle your opponents, but you can't just use any card, you have to develop real strategies to beat different opponents! Just because you could defeat the last one, doesn't mean you'll defeat the next one. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses and it's up to you to discover what they are and build a strategy against them. And don't forget about doing PvE battles. If you want to posess rare monsters, you have to find them, battle them, and win!

This is an early Alpha test of the game, and although nothing is finalized, the feature sets are unfinished, and the game isn't totally stable, we're all very excited to see what you guys think of it... So hurry up and log in so you can comment here and tell us!

Oh and remember, both Stress Testers (those of you who logged in to stress-test the game before today) and Alpha Testers will get their own exclusive characters as a thank you for supporting the game!

Anyone who has supported AE by purchasing a membership or currency in any of our games can play the Alpha! If you think you qualify but you can't log in, please make sure the upgraded account is linked to your master account. You must log in to Oversoul using your master account.

To read regular updates and see sneak peeks of unreleased art and features, be sure to check out Nulgath's posts on the Oversoul game homepage.

Update on Artix.com

Miko, Kraken, and Draven have been busy working on the new artix.com. This includes a totally new design, code, and a bunch of back-end stuff that you guys can't see. As some of you have noticed, there have been bugs. One of the bugs was hiding some people's comments where no one (not even the admins) could see. It's been fixed now. So if you made a comment earlier this week or sometime last week and you don't see it, please post it again. ESPECIALLY if you submitted a contest entry into the AQ3D Monster Design Contest and it hasn't shown up, please please please repost it. If you don't, your entry will be gone forever and no one will ever see it. (What if your lost entry was going to be the winning one??)

Kylestien
Kylestien: Good game, but a few things:

It needs a volume button so I can turn the volumme down/up. With head phones the game music is unuterably loud.

A few bugs around of course, but you guys will fix that.

Maybe it's a bug, but all the new Chars seem to have specialwise is a Power Hit card. Where are all the new cards promised?

Finally, I think a challenge battle that could be acesssed fromm a point would be cool. Sure we only have 15 HP, but it would give those with nothing more to do something to strive for.

Wind Days
Wind Days: I love the new Oversoul Game!
Reminds me about the god old card games, like Yu-Gi-oh

Love the concept of Magic (abilities), Attack and defence cards.

The game is pretty straight forward, by charging your element to play cards, and using cards in specific order to do combos and more bonus damages.

Tiamaat
Tiamaat: First of all, Oversoul is great fun so far! The new backgrounds are great in the map and pvp is running fairly well.

Second of all, at the design contest, it seems like once you have one post you can't post anymore. It would be nice if there was a forum post for issues there at least. For example,here's a current question I have: when the hidden post bug was around, I had posted early on, thought my monster wasn't qualified since it didn't show up, and did a lot of work making a new monster. I'd like to delete the first monster and enter my newer and better monster. Is that possible?

And thank you everyone at AE that works so hard on all these games. It's so amazing that new stuff is always being created, not to mention weekly updates. I always look forward to what comes next!
