ArcheBlade Open Beta Arrives on Steam
Utilizing Valve's new Early Access feature, Archeblade from Codebrush Games has opened its doors to players on Steam. Early Access is Steam's way for developers to release their games to the public before the product is finalized. Usually this means purchasing the game first, but since Archeblade is Free-to-Play it merely means players can begin progressing through open beta without fear of an account wipe.
CodeBrush CEO, S.B. Jin has stated "there is a lot more to implement" in Archeblade citing new characters, maps and game modes all in the works. Aside from some balance issues I experienced during the game's closed beta, there was a lot to like about ArcheBlade. What are your impressions of it?

And yea, balance is out of wack... many players are playing range characters now because they tend to win more, especially since you can easily dodge melee attacks WHILE still able to own the melee attacker with your range attacks (not to mention most range attacks are 180~360, so you can randomly shoot and still kill targets)
it will go the way of Fury and the other full pvp games.
there are VERY few full pvp players and the ones that are in existance have already found their favorite pvp games and aren't looking to start over.
It's the PVE crowd that looks for new things because there are only so many times you can level to the end of a game thats a clone of every other game before you want more.
