Kaos Joker’s Adventure on: Nosgoth Closed Beta

Nosgoth is set in a world in chaos, torn in two by the humans and the vampires. In Nosgoth, you take the role of a elite hunter trained to kill the most fearsome of vampires or one of the feared creatures of the night, a vampire. The game pits two teams of players against each other on a large arena map. The game may be visually brilliant but it is slightly unbalanced. But keep in mind, this is a BETA!! and these are just experiences i have had personally.

Currently there are 4 classes you can play from the start, two for each faction and a further 2 for each faction can be unlocked or bought, making a total of 4 class for each. It seems from what i played the vampires are very independent, they can go off and do their own thing, but the humans need to stick together and must work as a team to fight off the vampires. The Humans carry medieval fantasy ranged weapons (crossbows, bow and arrow, flintlocks and a grenade launch that fires potion bottles) which would make you think they would have the advantage. Wrong! The vampires can free run, one can fly and some can turn invisible. 

The Hunters have only won 1 out of the 7 or so games i have played and it seems the Vampires are a little over powered, considering there is a class that can fly up to a hunter, pick him up, and fly off and drop him, killing with the fall damage and there is nothing you can do to stop it. But there is obviously work that still needs to go into the game so hopefully things like this should be sorted on release.

There is a market in game much like the Dota 2 market and it looks like the game will use the steam market place like TF2, Dota 2... which suggest maybe more classes or a lot more items are on the way.

The game looks really nice and the character animations are also well done. The vampire free running has room for improvement but it would also be fine if it was left as it was. 

The main reason this game interests me so much is the fact the two teams are, in a way, playing two separate games. For the Humans its a third person shooter were as for the Vampires, its more of a hack and slash. Since only the vampires can free run, its a totally different set of tactics and a whole new play style when you switch from one side to the other. 

At the moment the game is in closed beta, so if you want to play, you need a good mate or fork out some cash to buy into it. The game will be free to play on release and any one who buys into the beta gets some nice goodies. The beta is pay to win at the moment as you can just buy the other 4 classes instead of unlocking them and you can buy better weapons for the hunters. I recommend you try it before you say no to it. 

Thank you for reading and join me next time for another great adventure :)
