Elsword hacks and slashes into open beta
Ever wanted to star in your own comic book? Well now you can get a feel for what it would be like to hop through lovingly inked panels by jumping into the colorful world of Elsword. The manga-flavored MMO enters open beta today, offering a unique Otaku experience for those who aren't afraid of a little over-the-top action. Elsword is a side-scrolling MMO that eschews subtle combat for frantic button-mashing. As you level up, your character will not only grow in abilities, but actually have their look and voice change as well. The game offers solo adventures, co-op dungeon runs, and PvP battles. Elsword's open beta will continue through May 4th. You can get in on the action by signing up on the official website, and don't forget to check out the first look at Elsword we did earlier this month! %Gallery-120229%
Elsword Online open beta starts April 27th
Not enough side-scrolling manga-style beat-'em-ups in your life? Elsword aims to remedy that, and the title's closed beta is rapidly nearing an end. According to a new Kill3rCombo email blast, open beta is just around the corner and the servers will be up and running at midnight PDT on April 27th. You can download the client right now, and the game will automatically patch to the new open beta version as soon as the servers come up. The new public testing period will also see Elsword's item mall open for business, and guild features (as well as consumable items) will be enabled. You can learn more about the title at the game's official website as well as via our recent hands-on impressions piece.
Take a first look at Elsword Online with Massively
There are quite a few side-scrolling action MMOs on the market today. As time goes along, they seem to get more and more over-the-top. Elsword Online is staying very much in step with this tradition, looking more like a violent cartoon than a video game. Still, we were happy to sit down with developer/publisher Kill3rCombo to smash some baddies. While there were a few initial technical difficulties and issues that prevented us from participating in PvP, we were able to run through the tutorial area and a few dungeons. If you are familiar with some of the other popular scrollers like Dragonica and games like Grand Chase (a game that was developed by half of Kill3rCombo) then you will be ready for Elsword. That is, until the combos start. Oh, the combos! %Gallery-120229%
Kill3rCombo launches Elsword closed beta
It's officially closed beta time for Elsword, the manga-themed MMORPG from Kill3rCombo. If you've been itching to star in your very own comic book, now's your chance, as interested players can sign up via the game's website. The closed beta period is going on right now and will run through Wednesday, March 30th. That should give you plenty of time to play as Rena, Aisha, or Elsword as you take on quests in the game's co-op dungeons or duke it out in the PvP arenas. Elsword sports a unique comic book style as well as a combo system that is both newb-friendly and deep enough to challenge veteran button-mashers. Elsword also features skill specializations, which allow for various playstyles. Kill3rCombo hasn't graced us with an open beta or release date as of yet, but stay tuned for more updates as the closed beta period rolls on.
