Fancy a new MMORPG set in the modern vampire scenario of World of Darkness? Then you can now check out the Alpha of Shadow’s Kiss.
Shadow’s Kiss was created after the planned MMORPG World of Darkness by the EVE Online developers CCP Games was cancelled. The indie project was successfully funded through a Kickstarter campaign and has now reached Alpha status.
The Alpha is live
A first bite. After the Pre-Alpha, the Alpha certainly represents a very early version of the MMO. Not all game content is available yet. Nevertheless, you already get a first impression of the online game:
- You create a character
- You experience the tutorial including voice output and get to know the world and the game systems
- You choose a backstory for your hero
- You can explore the city of San Cipriano and complete some quests there
Everything is still quite early. What you see is still in a very early status. There are still bugs, performance is not optimized, and a lot is not yet implemented. The developers state that updates will continuously follow, which will improve the game further.
A small indie game with big ambitions. Shadow’s Kiss is a project of a very small indie team, and you can see that in the title. You shouldn’t expect AAA quality graphically, and the game will likely continue to develop for quite a while. Nevertheless, testers say that the atmosphere is right and that the team has their heart in the right place.
How to participate. If you want to become a vampire too and try out the Alpha of the MMO, then buy access in the official website store. It currently costs 15 dollars. Be aware that there will be wipes during the testing phase.
