    I played it, but need more time with it. I did get invited to another alpha/beta this weekend. I didn't care for the keyboard controls very much. I might give it another go with a controller.

    We had Alpha keys for this for going to the Ubisoft area. 4v4 combat but they had been testing larger scale if I remember right. @Ani I think got to talk to them more?

    Efi had the Alpha.

    Video is here:


    I had a play around and its actually pretty fun. Its not a game you will ever play for hours at a time i dont think but its a great filler. Pretty sure there are more classes and a PvE style campaign mode since then though.

    Both me and Efi agree with Tasty though - the controls feel a little unnatural at first but you do get used to it.

    As for the PvP. Dominion is 4v4 but there is also 1v1 and 2v2 modes.

    I watched some stream on it, and the max is 4v4 players. I had the impression there would be RvRvR battles, and a wider scale battle. 1v1, 2v2 or 4v4 is the max. For $60 that they are charging, I'll pass.

    When we ran into them at Pax they said they tested up to 40v40v40 and it was stable.

    I closed-Beta tested it this weekend. Highest count was 4v4 - no RvRvR. Doesn't mean it's not coming, and admittedly I'm not particularly plugged into it, but I haven't tested it yet.

    Definitely recommend using a controller if you have one - the learning curve with a controller seems to be MUCH less steep. I would consider myself "average" or "slightly below average" when it comes to how fast I pick up games and how long it takes me to adjust to unusual layout configurations.

    Beta testing streams:
