Elsword Launches to Steam after Long Greenlit Battle

Today Kill3rCombo announced their hit free-to-play action MMORPG Elsword is now available on Steam. The popular side-scrolling RPG has already won millions of fans worldwide. Elsword challenges gamers to “Play Your Manga” by incorporating manga panels right into the action, making the anime-inspired story and combat come alive. With six distinct characters, a skill-based PvP mode, and more than 50 beautiful cel-shaded PvE areas, Elsword is a huge, one-of-a-kind experience, finally available on Steam.

 Elsword Steam Boom

To celebrate the launch, special deals will be available exclusively for Elsword Steam players for a limited time.  They will be awarded a bonus 5% for each purchase of $50 worth of Elsword currency and 10% for each purchase of $100. Also, exclusive in-game titles with powerful bonuses will be given to new Elsword accounts created through Steam. Finally, all players will be able to earn prizes by conquering dungeons with Steam users in their party.

 

“We are thrilled to offer Elsword to all the gamers in the Steam community,” said Eugene Kim, CEO of Kill3rCombo.  “We also want to thank our community who supported us through the Greenlight process to help bring Elsword to Steam players.”

PWE’s Swordsman Online Hits Chinese Beta Testing

Swordsman-Online-2

For our regular viewers that caught JamesBl0nde and DizzyPW’s Most Anticipated Games of 2013, you may have learned of a distant gem we had our sights on since its extraordinarily early appearance at E3 2010, Swordsman Online. Well the long wait is finally over, at least for those that know Chinese, as the open beta is now going strong (and without IP block!).

Recent in-house developed titles by Perfect World have shown remarkable speed in localization so our prediction of a fourth quarter 2013 English beta may be spot on the mark. But for now be sure to check out the Youtube video maker Yuusha Exa for a look at the early gameplay, character customization, and preview of advanced martial arts. While animations are still lacking on a lot of NPCs, it can’t be denied the cutscenes and skill animations are top notch.

Martial Arts Preview and Tutorial

Character Creation

The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot

The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot is a competitive player-versus-player experience where the one goal is simple: loot! Choose from one of three heroes and raid other players’ castles, fighting and avoiding danger to collect over 500 unique pieces of treasure. Meanwhile, build and design your keep’s defenses with traps and minions to keep other thieves out!

Features:

Three Heroes: Play as a Knight, Archer, or Mage to collect infinite amounts of treasure.

Collectible Treasure: Over 500 unique pieces of collectible treasure are yours for the taking.

Community Created Content: Create your own deadly keep, filled with traps, minions, and more for others to challenge themselves against. New experiences await at each player’s keep.

Neverwinter Unleashes the Fey on Test Servers

Notes are up and beta server participants can now get an early sneak peak of the upcoming Neverwinter Fury of the Feywild update. While content details are still scarce, there are plenty of changes coming to allow Control Wizards to more properly serve their purpose. Companions are also getting quite an overhaul. If you’re looking to jump into the test server though just watch your step as collision detection is still a bit shaky on the branching forest skyline (pun intended).
