Developer Warlogics has just announced Purple War, an upcoming RTS that will open up for playtesting from April 25th to May 8th. Paying homage to classics like Starcraft and Age of Empires, players can dive into PvP matches with up to eight people alongside a story campaign. Following the playtest Purple War will enter early access this summer.
Humans, elves, and orcs had once lived together peacefully in the land of Daivos. However, a newly discovered supernatural resource called Purple Stone caused conflicts and ignited a war that split each race apart. Purple War can be played in single-player or online multiplayer modes, with three unique story campaigns that focus on each class that will be revealed at the Early Access launch.
In Purple War, players control teams and select their preferred races on the battlefield for matches from 1v1 to 4v4 players. In the style of classic RTS games, players will mine resources to build bases and recruit troops to take down enemy forces. Carry out various tactics like scouting, sneak attacks, disturbing enemy mining resources, and attacking the forward bases with allied players. Purple War’s unique units from each race make it possible to form and operate troops strategically. The gameplay is fast-paced but easy to learn, allowing players to concentrate on strategizing during intense battles.
Players can opt into the playtest on Steam now and will be able to test the game’s PvP gameplay from April 25th – May 8th. Purple War will be launching on early access this summer. To sign up for the playtest, players can visit the Steam page. Follow Purple War on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube for the latest updates. The press kit can be found here.
