Okay, first I would like to say congrats to the devs. This Alpha alone has been more fun than most games that have fully released this year. It worked quite well with few very technical issues and it was quite balanced for an Alpha.

The combat was easily one of the most interesting combat systems I have ever seen. It felt kinda clunky at first, but once I got used to it, it became a very smooth and flowing system. It adds a lot to melee combat most games just can't do. It's not wildly pushing a button and winning.

The gamemodes were fun. Duel was great. It actually made the players think before swinging instead of mindless button mashing. Brawl was interesting, a 2v2 gamemode where people actually seemed to stay separated until 1 person was dead. Players in Brawls seemed to actually have some respect as well, not just jumping into the battle to make it a 1v2 all the time so good on them. Dominion was probably the most shocking to me. I'm not usually a fan of control points, but this game has great combat, and added a fun twist to it making it enjoyable. I don't know if there are any plans, but I think a Free For All and a Factions (like Vikings only Vs. Knights only) gamemode would be neat to have.

The classes were great. They all felt very different, and as I previously mentioned, rather balanced especially for an Alpha. I know the forums are flooded with "Orochi OP plz nerf" but I didn't have that issue. I played around with all classes and never really had more trouble against Orochi than other classes. It all worked out pretty well. Now, fighting 2 or more Orochis at once kinda sucked, but I feel like that's just kinda the nature of this game.

Overall, I really enjoyed this Alpha, and hope the full release is as good if not better.
