THE PRE-ALPHA PHASE 2 TEST IS LIVE!

Its been a long time coming. 2 years since our last public test back in April/May 2018 we are happy to announce that the NeuroSlicers Pre-Alpha phase 2 has launched.

FEATURE LIST

So what can you expect in this test?
Well, here are all the juicy details:

• The Outskirts and Construct. The first of many cool locations around the city of Catena that you'll be Slicing in.
  
• First two Solo Campaign missions set within the Construct
  
• 1v1 and 2v2 Competitive PVP with Ranking system
  
• Our first PVPVE Mode with its own special Ranking System called Escalation, which ramps up the difficulty as you get better at the game.
  
• Fully voiced cast of characters with their own sets of Contracts for you to complete. You'll have to earn their trust in order to access their better Contracts or learn more about them, the city, the NeuroNet and what it means to be a Slicer. Every NPC has something they can offer - but only to those that help them out.
  
• Ability (Scripts) levelling and customization for the Solo and PVPVE modes.
  
• 15 Scripts (out of our target of 60+ at launch) and 2 Node Tech paths to choose from, each with a whole set of Nodes that completely change how you need to play.

The test will only be in English for the time being - we hope to localize NeuroSlicers into many other languages for future tests, but as we're still in the process of polishing much of the narrative and dialogue it would be overly costly to do it at this early stage. Apologies to our non-English speaking community members.

HOW LONG WILL THE TEST LAST?

The pre-alpha phase 2 will be available for 2 weeks.
It starts on the 30th of July and ends on the 13th of August.

WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS TEST?

We're looking to gather as much feedback about NeuroSlicers as possible. We're going to be collecting a variety of data from your playthroughs along with asking you to complete a survey at the end of the test that'll ask some deep-dive questions about every aspect of the game, from Art to writing, to game mechanics and more.

In a world torn between two realities, the real and a city-wide networked cyber layer called the NeuroNet. Battle across the city of Catena to discover the secrets of the network, and the factions and corporations seeking to control it. Customise, adapt and defeat.

You are NeuroSlicers.

WHAT IS NEUROSLICERS?

NeuroSlicers is an online, narrative-driven, post-cyberpunk strategy game that has its roots in RTS yet totally modernizes the genre. Every element has been streamlined to create a fresh experience that is easy to pick up, while still retaining the high skill ceiling expected of real-time strategy.

Instead of seeing how fast you can click, NeuroSlicers tasks you with how fast you can think. Using intelligent AI-powered units, you are free to make more significant, more strategic decisions that focus on territory control, resource management, upgrading and careful placement of customizable buildings, units and powerful function abilities called Scripts.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR PLAYSTYLE

As a Freelance Slicer, you are free to engage with the Factions of Catena however, you please. Earn, craft and level up customizable Node Tech, Scripts and Mods to grow your power as you journey through an epic, ongoing narrative campaign that combines Solo, Co-Op, PVP and PVPVE gameplay into a seamless whole.

CHOOSE HOW YOU WANT TO PROGRESS

With Competitive PVP matches in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and free-for-all modes, unique solo and co-op levels, and other bonus PVE and PVPVE modes, you're free to progress through NeuroSlicers in the way you find most enjoyable.

AN EPIC NARRATIVE JOURNEY WITH YOU AT THE CENTRE

In Catena, the NeuroNet is everything. It enhances every aspect of living, ensuring the populace lives their fullest, most vibrant lives possible. It is utterly ubiquitous.

And completely inescapable.

Embark on a journey that spans the city to uncover the truth about the NeuroNet and those that fight to control it. Build dynamic relationships with a cast of vibrant characters who may aid, or hinder, you as you work towards becoming the ultimate Slicer."
