Funktronic Labs announced that an open beta test for Scramble Knights Online is now live on Steam. This MMO-lite action RPG invites players to go on an adventure with friends.
In a statement, the studio shared that the game has been in development for three years. Initially it was planned to be a game that was focused on battle royale. Eventually, a decision was made to end the focus on battle royale and rework the game into a MMO-lite. Right now, the game is all about co-op adventures in a shared online world.
Scramble Knights Online invites players to go on an adventure with friends on bite-sized and Zelda-inspired quests in the shared online kingdom of Terracott. They'll need to travel across an archipelago that's filled with dangerous enemies, quaint towns, puzzling dungeons, and challenges suited for a knight-in-training. Quests have players face off against electric slimes, rock-hurling crabs, towering dungeon bosses, and other dangerous creatures in strategic top-down combat. They can also meet other players on their own adventure and team up against powerful foes, race for valuable treasure, or even clash in PvP invasions.
After an adventure, players then head back to the Town Square to hang out, upgrade gear, and show off their look. They can also perform other actions like fish with friends. Of course, they can also use the time to prepare for the next expedition. They can then meet other online knights, squad up, and jump back into the action together. Those able to complete quests can earn gems, crafting materials, and rare loot. With these, they can forge powerful weapons, craft sturdy armor, upgrade equipment, and experiment with new builds that fit their personal combat style. The more they explore, the stronger the knight becomes.
