This video shows off some of the progress made during development of the Alpha over the last few weeks.  As you will see in the vid, free-aim and strong inspirations from hack’n’slash games provide Games of Glory with tangible intensity and deep strategic decisions for teamwork throughout all game phases. Players can acquire rocket launchers, daggers, claws, two-handed swords, sniper rifles and more, and then take advantage of the enemy by customizing their clone to fit their own unique gameplay style.

Please take a peek and enjoy and see you in the arenas!
