Beta Access Opens March: Dive into the Dark
“Level Zero: Extraction” is setting the stage for its Closed Beta phase, slated for March 15-18. Interested gamers are invited to visit the game’s page on Steam and select “Request Access” to join the upcoming test phase. A gameplay reveal trailer is also available, offering a glimpse into the game’s mechanics and setting.
Gameplay Mechanics and Features
This title introduces players to a unique multiplayer extraction horror genre, incorporating elements of asymmetric PvPvPvE and first-person shooter (FPS) combat. The game is designed around the concept of high-stakes scavenging missions, where players are split into three teams of up to three mercenaries each, all vying for precious loot in a perilous environment. Alternatively, players can assume the role of one of two alien monsters, setting out to hunt human adversaries.
The core gameplay encourages various strategies, including cooperation with teammates, going solo, or even betraying allies to secure loot. However, players must tread carefully, as death in the game results in the loss of nearly all carried items.
Players can choose from a wide range of weapons, from melee to ranged options like shotguns, assault rifles, and more exotic choices such as nail guns and flamethrowers. Light-based weaponry and traps play a crucial role in combating the alien threat, with flares, flashlights, and lume traps being essential tools for survival.
On the other side, playing as an alien monster offers a different set of powerful abilities, including wall scanning, deploying living traps, vent crawling, and the ability to disable light sources temporarily with a high-frequency scream.
Progression and Customization
The game features a progression system where players can enhance their reputation with traders, unlocking access to superior gear. Both human and monster roles have their leveling paths, with new perks available to tailor each player’s style. Weapons are not only upgradable but also customizable, allowing for a personalized combat experience.
Conclusion
“Level Zero: Extraction” promises a multifaceted multiplayer horror adventure, blending intense combat with strategic gameplay elements. With its Closed Beta just around the corner, players will soon have the opportunity to experience this thrilling new game firsthand.
