Unique and Ambitious Multiplayer Action Game Will Move Out of Steam Early Access
Netker Inc., a South Korean indie game dev company, has announced that their multiplayer melee action game “Versus: Battle of the Gladiator” will come out of Early Access and officially launch on Steam on August 26th. After being Greenlit on Steam Greenlight in just 3 short days, Versus launched on Steam Early Access on June 20th.
Versus: Battle of the Gladiator features brutal and hardcore non-targeting melee combat with customizable equipment and combat move set. Players fight alone or with other players, in various arenas to prove their strength and skill. Each attack has unique traits, strengths and weaknesses, which turns each match into a dynamic and complex mind game. Players will learn how to outplay their opponents with tricks like chaining attacks into a combo, utilizing the environment, and countering their opponent’s moves. With its non-targeting combat system and real-time armor destruction, the combat of Versus revolves around dynamic situations with unlimited replay value.
Netker has been updating the game ever since the Early Access launch. Along with numerous optimizations, bugfixes, combat balancing and UI improvements, Netker has added 2 new player vs. player mode (Versus) maps and 1 huge single player mode (Solo) map so far. Netker is planning to add more maps, for both Versus and Solo mode, along with new skills and UI/UX improvements on the launching of Versus.
With Netker’s effort to improve the game and communicate with players, Versus has been met with positive feedback from Early Access players. An awesome community was formed during Early Access period, which Versus was lucky to have. Because of this, Netker is going to reward Early Access players as much as it can. Early Access players will be added in the in-game credits by their character name, and will be granted other rewards including exclusive items which will not be available to obtain after Early Access.
Versus: Battle of the Gladiator is available now on Steam Early Access, and supports Windows PC.
