I just found out about this game Skyforge and I wanted to share it. It looks kind of interesting and there are closed beta sign ups available for anyone that is interested. It doesn’t mean you are guaranteed to get in but you can try! The game is being developed by Allods Team & My.comm and it will be a Free-to-Play (in other words in-game purchases) Sci-Fi Fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

I am intrigued to find out how the actual game play works. There are a couple of videos of it on the developers site but nothing too concrete, I get the feeling this game still has a while to go. The game play should be inspired from action-combat console games, which should allow you to make combos and dodge attacks in that fashion. It looks like they have put a lot of work into that aspect of the game including the targeting system Skyforge uses. Now, here is the feature that interests me the most in seeing how it works… in Skyforge you will be able to switch classes at will. That means you can develop all the classes simultaneously and play with a different class depending on the situation at hand.
Skyforge, as of now looks to have only 3 classes. One of which they just announced today the Berserker! Below I have put the 3 videos from their site showing each class and a link to the page for each of those classes.
