PAX Prime 2014 – Strife, A New MOBA, Enters Open Beta

From Booth #3746 at PAX Prime, S2 Games is currently demoing their second-generation MOBA, Strife , which they’ve just announced has entered open Beta.

, which they’ve just announced has entered open Beta. This means that anyone who wants to give it a try can download the game at their leisure, and while the game is free-to-play, there are in-game purchases (mostly cosmetic) that are not required. For those who’d like to try their hand at a MOBA, but want to avoid the highly-competitive e-Sport scene, this announcement could be very positive.

New features launching with the open Beta include a partnership with Curse Voice(a gaming communication VOIP program), along with a companion app that allows single player interaction with lore, item crafting, stat checking, and the ability to earn resources from anywhere. Marc DeForest, CEO of S2 Games, envisions Strife gaming as such: “The way I’d play soccer with my kids is completely different from the way I’d play competitively in college or the way World Cup teams battle professionally. We designed Strife to be a game as accessible as soccer, to be enjoyed by players of all skill levels.”

One other thing that may turn off potential MOBA players is the required purchase of heroes in other games. In Strife , all heroes are free, and as mentioned previously, the only purchases are cosmetic (such as costumes and skins).

You can download Strife for free here. You can also visit the websitefor more information. If you’re currently at PAX Prime, visit S2 Games to try out Strife at Booth #3746. Don’t forget to follow them on Twitter, or like their Facebookpage for announcements.
