It’s described as “an innovative ExtrAction RPG” and features PvPvE, Story Mode, or cooperative multiplayer PvE, where players “claim valuable loot and bring balance to the shattered realms.”
There are currently two scheduled playtests for Gods, Death & Reapers, one coming up on Thursday, April 30 and the second slated for Monday, May 4. It’s recommended to sign up via the above-mentioned methods soon as space will likely be limited and on a first-come-first-served basis.
