had a thought discussing this with a friend... maaaybe the combat is at its barest bones because the character balance is nowhere near final and this is more to test network anyway? heres hopping :P
Live now
downloaded, probably wont be able to play tonight, but i did run through the tutorial and dojo and...
is it just me or is this game overly simplistic and seemingly lacking in depth? theres basically no combo system (that i can tell) for melee characters and ranged characters are even worse with a simple spam of their shot on a locked on target. thats all? really? i know each character has their supers and cool down abilities, it looks like you can mix and match skills/abilities/perks with the mod system, but i expected a bit more of this than what is offered.
If anyone's interested, I received a friend invite today.
I'll be kindly borrowing Mcfrank's giveaway method: first person to quote this with a picture of a cute p̶u̶p̶p̶y̶ Sphynx kitten gets it.
It just flows so well. Kinda wish they had tricks for the boards, just as a flourish etc. The animation is also great. Really looks nice as well. Interested to see if BE becomes a new thing and it heavily supported, or if it drops off.Dev plays pretty good. Knows all the routes, places etc. Wich is logical offcourse.
Shame no sound. As i think the sound design and character banter is pretty good.
All they need to do is go to bleedingedge.com, click Join Up, fill out the survey and enter their code at the end. We'll handle the rest!

Got my invite this morning. Excited to give this a try and really see what it's all about.
Played a few matches today. Seemed fun. Idk how popular it will be. Loved the snake support dude.
The play test this Saturday is also the final session in our series of weekly tests. What this means is that we have finished Phase 1 of our technical alpha, and we are now in a great position to move into Phase 2. In Phase 2 we will be running monthly tests, which gives us more time to hone Bleeding Edge and add more content between each test. The next test will be on Thursday October 24th, and stay tuned for further info!
Really cool gameplay, flow and style. i think it's pretty easy to get into. Love the feeling of playing. For my taste it could use some more "stuff" - what i mean by that are maps, characters, different modes of transportation (like the ball from the granny). Its just a alpha rigght now, but more stuff will probably come.
That's why they're making it once a month now, to add more contentGameplay is pretty smooth but the game only really works if you have a good team, bad teammates means not only you lose, but you also don't do anything in the match basically because sticking together gives such enormous bonuses it's unreal. Balance seems all over the place now and I don't think the game has enough identity to stand out from the crowd, but it's technically solid so it's probably one big streamer away from being potentially a sleeper hit.
Should have chosen xbox also. :P
Aside from PC, we are launching a brand-new feature – play against AI in the Dojo! The Dojo is a free play area where you can try out fighters and hone your skills when matchmaking is offline. You can also access our tutorials during times when the servers are offline.
