ALPHA TESTING BEGINS

Huge milestone: we’ve finally begun alpha testing. Yes, that means people are playing Legion TD 2 against each other on Steam!

Alpha testing is part of development and is not available to the general public. We want to invite as many people as possible, but the servers cannot support everyone right now. Active members of the community, Kickstarter backers, and pre-purchasers are more likely to receive an alpha key. If you haven’t been invited, it’s not because you’re being ignored. It just takes time to scale a game to be able to support that many people.

If you’re curious what the alpha looks like, check out this sneak peek:
