Das Tal‘s alpha test begins on July 16th, and Fairytale Distillery want to give a bunch of lucky people a chance to play their “MOBA Meets Sandbox MMO” game.
Here’s the official description of the game, in case you’re curious:
Das Tal is the world’s first Sandbox Survival Arena — bringing together MOBA tactics and Sandbox MMO strategy. It makes MMOs fun again for PvP fans. No more grind. No more pay-to-win. No more tab-targeting. The game is designed to be compatible with the busy life of an adult gamer. Das Tal rests on the three defining pillars; Meaningful Conflict, Skill-Based Combat, and Constantly Changing Worlds.
It will throw you into a dark fantasy prison valley. You start each game with nothing but your wits and your PvP skills. Over the course of weeks and months you will explore this world, grow stronger and learn to survive.
Hundreds of players will join you in the valley. Amongst them you will find friends and allies to form a clan. Start building your own settlement and empire whilst competing with rival clans.
In a completely player-driven economy, your influence and income will grow through diplomacy and warfare. You will strive to break free of your chains, defeat your captors and emerge victorious from your exile.
Fairytale Distillery were also kind enough to provide us with some up-to-date screenshots of Das Tal in action:
