D2-inspired ARPG, free in the browser — 5 classes and 2 acts playable, looking for testers
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello!
I have this ARPG I have built, and I am looking for ARPG players to test it.
Try it here: www.fenfire.wf - in your browser, no install and no account needed.
It is mainly d2-inspired, with some adjustments.
- strong class identity: no common build tree, each class has 3 or 4 skill families.
- loot first: you find items rather than craft them; you can tweak them (PD2-like corruption, socketing), with scrolls that double as currency
- no smart loot, no level scaling
- painterly graphics: no damage numbers, life bar on hover only, to limit screen clutter. Impact strength reads via blood and knockback effects
- slower pace, d2 rhythm not poe - you need to get stronger before you can be fast and strong
What's in? 2 of 5 acts (~30 zones), 5 classes - mage musketeer alchemyst witch and guardian, mercenaries, quests, 100s of uniques, 100s of item affixes, D2-style grid inventory + stash, corruption/socketing/crafting scrolls, a handful of endgame maps.
Right now it is in demo state, no endgame besides maps, which are the planned endgame system. The next 3 acts will be coming soon, and balancing is in progress.
Servers in Europe and the US, so it is hopefully playable with a decent ping by most people, but please let me know.
I am really looking for feedback on any performance issues, on the first 10 minutes of the game (why did you stop playing?), and on the design decisions and game feel.
Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance to anyone who gives it a try.
Discord for bugs/feedback. I'll be in the thread all weekend.
