The second alpha test of NCORE has started and will last until October 8

On October 2, access to the second alpha version of the PvPvE shooter NCORE opened. Throughout the week, everyone will be able to try it out on one of three platforms: Steam, VK Play and Astrum Play.

For six months since the first alpha testing, the development team has actively improved the game, taking into account the wishes and feedback from the community. Special attention was given to refining the gameplay cycle and optimization. In addition, based on user feedback, the shooting system has been completely revamped.

A new content package has been prepared specifically for the second test, making gameplay even more dynamic. New features include the "Katana" and "Thunder" weapons, the hex "Statue of Liberty," and the enemy "Screamer."

"We want to emphasize that community feedback during the first alpha test greatly influenced our plans for further improvements. We made an effort to listen to every comment. That’s why it’s especially important for us to get feedback on the improvements and new content in the game." - NCORE developers.

As last time, gladiator battles in the NCORE arena will take place in the "Token Hunt" mode, where teams of three must collect and deliver the most tokens to the receiver. Among the obstacles along the way are the arena guards, mighty bosses, and other teams waiting for the right moment to strike.

To thank the players of the second alpha for their participation and feedback, the team has prepared a special event called "Path of the Gladiator" with unique rewards that will be preserved and given to players upon the release of NCORE.

In NCORE, players take on the role of gladiators in a distant future where corporations rule, and crises follow one after another. To contain the growing tension, a forgotten entertainment—gladiatorial battles—is being revived, where ancient customs coexist with high technology. They will fight for glory on a reconfigurable multi-arena. It is divided into hexes that disappear, change, and transport participants into different settings within a single match. The game's development team is already actively working on new locations that will soon be announced.

The main feature of the PvPvE shooter NCORE is the reconfigurable multi-arena, where players will not have two identical matches. Also, the game will be diversified by unique transformable weapons: a rifle easily transforms into a katana, a submachine gun into a sword, and a pistol into claws. The transition from ranged to "melee" mode allows players to instantly change tactics and combat style. In more challenging levels, gladiators will face mighty bosses, whose encounters can completely turn the tide of the match.

You can already participate in the second alpha testing on Steam, VK Play and Astrum Play.
