    The game finally hit open beta and for me it was time to give it a go. free to play on steam.... so i did not expect much out of it but damn is this game great. (and it isn't even finished) the maps look really cool,graphics are for a free to play game gorgious and the gameplay is awesome and tight and balanced. i read that there were many matchmaking problems but i did not encounter them.The game finally hit open beta and for me it was time to give it a go. free to play on steam.... so i did not expect much out of it but damn is this game great.

    I must say, the first time I played this game, I hated it, but it slowly grew on me. Maybe I didn't get the satisfaction I had wanted from slaying vampires, or maybe always got shot down by humans, but this game certainly has promise. It has enjoyable game play, a decent item system, the only thing I think it lacks is maybe a little balance, since the vampires always seem to do better thanI must say, the first time I played this game, I hated it, but it slowly grew on me.

Note: In each game, both teams play vampires and humans, so It's not a problem. However, this game is still in beta, if you haven't had a look at it on steam yet, go check it out.… Expand

    Aside from poor matching making ( which is being worked on) the game runs and feels balanced and smooth. Requiring as much teamwork as individual skill to win games.

    Outside of a few server issues (which I can guarantee are because of the 75% off Steam Summer Sale) the game plays great. It has a large variety of weapons and abilities you can earn with in game currency, a handful of visually great maps, a handful of fun and different classes on both Humans and Vampires, and is an overall great game.

    The only Con I have right now, outside of the server issues, is the limit of only 2 Game Types (which trust me I haven't gotten bored of yet) but I do believe there will be more added in the future as this game isn't even released yet.

    I give this game a strong 8-8.5 and would highly recommend it if it goes back on sale for 5$. Also, I believe it is going free to play after Beta and would suggest everyone to give it a try.    … Expand

    Nosgoth is an addicting 4v4 pvp game in 3rd person that requires proper teamwork in order to win. The maps are like medium-sized arenas and so far have been designed very well. The classes are pretty balanced overall, but there are some cases of being overpowered going on.

The classes are pretty balanced overall, but there are some cases of being overpowered going on.

    The human side is almost like a small chaos that emphasizes individual skill and positioning on the map. Even though player skill is important, the humans have to be together all the time, as alone they can't survive. Some of the human classes are hugely dependent on their teammates, while others can wreak havoc even on their own.

    The vampire side is more fun, imo, and they need great teamwork to kill the enemy team. Rushing in alone ends up in you getting killed, but a combined attack can end up in the wipe of the enemy team. The vampire team has roles that depend on your class and abilities. Pretty much all of the classes can't go in alone and get kills.

    There are still some things that the game suffers from. For example the hitboxes are horrible at times and some maps have annoying invisible walls that happen to ruin your charge that was meant to split the enemy team. Nosgoth also needs to polish their matchmaking system as it ruined a couple of games in which I was with my three other friends. The group system also has tons of bugs. But overall in think most of the faults can be fixed with a few patches, and in the end of course, it's a beta.

    You should try it out and see what you think. It has some nice potential to be a big team-game.    … Expand

    This game is currently about a 7-8 rating. I feel i have to counter balance the 1 and 3 ratings as most games never deserve that, especially a closed beta game.

    A very very nice arena action game. The gameplay is really addictive and everyone has the possibility to influence the game even tough team strategies works better. Each race has his very unique traits that really makes you enjoy them.

    Recommend for everyone!

    A great Legacy of Kain themed online third person arena game that has a few minor bugs that will probably be smoothed out as long as development continues on Square Enixs' part.

    For a closed beta game it is very polish and I haven't seen any bugs after my first 100 hours of play. It is addicting and very enjoyable especially when you play with friends. The F2P model is nice because only cosmetics are to be bought with cash only, everything else can be unlocked by in game gold which isn't hard to obtain.

    The game has great graphics, presents a balanced based on really cool multiplayer games Soul Reaver, for a beta phase, the game is well done, and the gameplay needs a lot of teamwork, if not, you lose.

    Very fun game, I'm looking forward the official launch and all the players that it will brings. A video game that benefits from well coordinated movement, pacing and attacks. I see myself having countless hours of fun once I get a good team/clan to play with.

    For an Open Beta, the game is very polished and visually pleasing. I haven't fell upon a single issue I'd deem horrible or unacceptable. I have had no problem with the Matchmaking either, but mind that I only played with pugs, maybe it is different if you want to match someone in particular.

    Sure at first glance, the Vampires appear to be overpowered. Rare are the games I've seen the humans do the required 30 kills. BUT, it is neither impossible NOR necessary.

    See, a match is always split in two rounds. Everyone plays Human and Vampire once, and the game's victory is for the team with the most kills during both round. It does not matter than Vampire vs Human often gives 10-30 ish score since all you have to do when it is your turn as a human, is to do 30-11 to win the whole match.
    It is a fight of how many kills human can do before playing the vampire that is the tie breaker. I love that principle.

    Each class and race have very unique abilities and game-play elements that makes it load of fun to fiddle with.

    I'm eager to see what the future holds for that game.    … Expand

    Very in depth gameplay. The free to play aspects are very reasonable (better than LoL for example). The matchmaking is a bit shoddy but I think it's reasonable considering it's in open beta.

    It's free, fast-paced and the asynchronous teams keep the gameplay interesting, but two gameplay modes aren't enough to keep you playing for a long time.
