Strife: Open Beta Begins

S2 Games has announced that its forthcoming MOBA, Strife, has officially entered open beta. The open beta kicks off with new single player features to give players an opportunity to explore the game in new ways.
Strife is a free to play MOBA that features deep, collaborative gameplay and includes purchasable cosmetic upgrades. S2 focused their knowledge and industry experience on an engaging, enjoyable, team PvP game. One key design goal was to evolve the genre to create a more accessible MOBA with a high skill ceiling. Strife offers a rich experience that rewards everyone on the team for their role in victory.
New features launching with Open Beta include single player content that allows players to interact with Strife's lore, a companion app that allows players to check stats, craft items, and earn free resources from anywhere, and a partnership with Curse Voice to allow players to easily connect with friends.

I suppose people should stop making FPS games because they're about 20 years too late right?
Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
yeah although the little tweaks are cool i think the game is still not very unique gameplay wise. I still think if they wanted to have a more casual moba they could have made HoN more accessible or something. But hey, i like the flying Megaman chick in Strife lol (except for her ultimate, which doesnt deal any damage.)

yeah same here, my only excuse to play HoN over Strife is that i love the HoN character called Fayde. lol If i was an S2Games dev i would add her to Strife in a more stylized design.
How many MOBA's can the market support ?
Games like LoL succeed because they have tens of millions of players, so if only 10% of the players spend money, it's still a huge sum. But they're not ALL going to attract such massive crowds.

What? Being innovative and making a game a little different than other of the genre is bad? All of these MOBAs copied Blizzard characters in the first place with DOTA, and they all went from there.
I bet Blizzard's game will be better than all of them so far and no I don't play Diablo or WOW. But I think their MOBA looks the most original and best of all of these.
GAME TIL YOU DIE!!!!

that monkey is too OP at the moment. If you unleash it, it wipes an entire lane all the way to the base in a single run.

I don't see why you feel the need to throw around match count like it means something. I've had over 400 matches combined over 4 months of play before I quit during the fetterstone release doesn't help to bolster validity. Because gold and exp is split among you entire team feeders don't feed one teammate they give everyone a global boost of gold and exp making the situation worse. It was not uncommon for people to start a match by running head first into an enemy and force feed them 500+ gold in kills before the match started. It snowballs an entire team not just one person.
You can also grief by simply edging around another team mates lane severely messing up the ratio of the split exp and gold, or better yet refuse to last hit the entire game and ruin everyone's gpm not just your own. It's not bannable because you can't prove that they are not inexperienced. Jungling had ways to grief your team too but I'm not going to go into exploits or anything to help the trolls do more harm.
I quit during the period of time that crap was going on and judging by how the team was slow to act it probably still goes on. If not I stand corrected but I'm never touching Strife again.

we were almost at their base on all three lanes and they sent the monkey like a tsunami straight to our base lol. We managed to defend long enough to send the monkey back to them and eventually we won. But man that ape is a truck.
We're past the "clones" phase. We're in the genre phase. You'll be repeating yourself often.
There's nothing more gratifying than playing an MMO for free.
