Beta Gameplay
Although beta testers are required to sign a NDA with the developers, early gameplay footage has found its way on YouTube and Twitch. Here be Illuvials.
The beta is solely focused on PvE aspect of the game, with Survival being the only mode being right now.
In Survival, players assemble their teams and fight through endless waves of increasingly powerful Illuvials, creatures that inhabit the world of Illuvium. The creatures are controlled by an AI, rather than another player.
The game is an autobattler, which has sparked some controversy, but the team is adamant about making this genre fun and enjoyable for a wide variety of audiences.
Each round you’re given a certain amount of Mastery points, which is used to summon different Illuvials. Illuvials cost Mastery Points to summon, and each of them can synergise with other Illuvials of a similar type. The goal of the Survival mode is to – well, obviously – survive as long as you can.
