Closed Beta For Matrioshka Games’ Fallen Angel Goes Live Today

Developer Matrioshka Games has quietly been working on its coming pixilated brawler Fallen Angel for the majority of 2020. While the studio has pressed its followers with weekly screenshots and new clips of the game in action, the team has been hesitant to disclose more details on the title’s status for release. And while it is still unsure when exactly players can expect the game to ship, the firm has other plans for the time being.

In that, Matrioshka Games announced this week that a closed beta for the game will be going live allowing users to directly sample the Fallen Angel and use some of the new additions that will be included for the full game later on. In a recent blog post, the developer shares that the closed beta will be going live starting today, August 14.

For access to the aforementioned playtest, all you simply have to do is join the game’s Discord channel where Matrioshka Games will greet you with a beta key to access the closed beta. From there, you can sample the latest build prepared for Fallen Angel. As always, things can change and not everything in the playtest will reflect the complete experience at launch.

“Expect to equip yourself as you progress through the game with blades, guns, claws, and your own raw skill to make way through the realms of Heaven and reach the top,” the game’s synopsis reads in the blog post. “Use your preferred fighting styles to take on foes whether that’s head-to-head brute combat, maneuvering with precision and counter-attacks, or relying on ranged weapons to attack from afar. In addition to various fighting tactics, as Lucifer, you’ll be able to transform into a powerful, demonic rage machine, killing everything in your path.”

One new addition to Fallen Angel that was not originally on the horizon for the title is local co-op. Previously speaking with Hunter Wu, Game Director for Fallen Angel, he disclosed that the game might not arrange enough resources to receive the ability to play with a second player. But now seeing that the gameplay element is included in the closed beta, it’s safe to say that benchmark was made.

The closed beta for Fallen Angel will be live for one full month until September 14, 2020. For more on Rectify Gaming’s coverage on the video game adaptation of John Milton’s Paradise Lost, you can read our full feature from PAX West 2019 by heading here.
