Unveiling Nexon’s Latest RPG Adventure
Nexon is set to launch the first public pre-alpha playtest of their new action RPG, Vindictus: Defying Fate, on Steam. This initial glimpse into the game comes after its notable reveal in February, offering players a taste of its fast-paced combat and rich Celtic mythology-inspired setting. The pre-alpha test, available for a limited time from March 13 to March 18, aims to gather player feedback on the early stages of the game’s development.
Test Features and How to Participate
The upcoming playtest will feature two playable characters, Fiona and Lann, allowing participants to explore demo-level combat, early-world concepts, and various emotes and outfits. To join, players must navigate to the Vindictus: Defying Fate Steam page, request access, and follow the instructions to download the playtest. Although adding the game to your wishlist is optional, it is encouraged for staying up-to-date with the latest news and updates.
Character Highlights: Fiona and Lann
Fiona returns from the game’s reveal trailer as a defensive powerhouse, equipped with a longsword and shield. Her skillset is tailored for players who favor a defensive approach, utilizing her “heavy stander” ability to block incoming attacks temporarily. On the other hand, Lann offers a more aggressive playstyle with his dual swords and fast reflexes, making him a perfect choice for those looking to deal swift, offensive blows. His “Lann’s fury” skill showcases his ability to launch powerful counterattacks.
Looking Ahead
Vindictus: Defying Fate is still in the early stages of development, with future updates promising to expand the game’s narrative, character growth system, stats, and itemization. This pre-alpha test represents a crucial step in refining the game through community feedback, which Nexon highly values. As the game progresses, players can expect a rich medieval fantasy adventure combining engaging combat mechanics with deep RPG elements. Vindictus: Defying Fate is planned for release on Windows PCs via Steam and consoles, promising a broad platform availability for its fanbase.
