Ontwikkelaar Freejam heeft vandaag aangekondigd dat hun gigantisch populaire free-to-play bouw en vecht game Robocraft gestart is met zijn beta. Een nieuwe grote update die vandaag wordt uitgebracht brengt herziende gameplay, verbeterde maps, een nieuwe matchmaking systeem en nog veel meer.

De beta update transormeert de game’s standaard match type, Normal Modus, daarbij komen er ook wat grote updates en verbeteringen voor de game, zoals(En dit laten we zoals we het op site tegen kwamen) :

• Gameplay Overhaul: Robocraft’s Normal Mode has been transformed with a new 5 vs. 5 player count rather than 8 vs. 8, allowing individual skill to dictate the outcome of matches more than ever before. The interface has also been improved to directly communicate the best way for players to help their team.
• All Maps Reworked: All of Normal Mode’s existing maps have been replaced with battlegrounds that feature more varied terrain, offering more gameplay complexity and strategy. Environment visuals have also been enhanced and improved throughout – the planets have never looked so good!
• New Matchmaking System: Matches are now far more balanced thanks to the introduction of ELO, with that score going up and down dynamically based on an individual’s win and loss record. This means matches will now be closer, more competitive and more fun.
• New “Protonite Core”: This all-new mechanic, also known as “The Equaliser”, allows teams who are behind in battle to have an opportunity to catch up, by taking out a giant crystal which spawns periodically on the map for a limited time.
