Just saw this, thought it was pretty awesome.

Only thing that looks off to me really are that the animations could use some work but it's not bad for a WIP. Seems like a really neat style of competitive game, kind of like a cross between a fighting game and GunZ

This is nothing. Play a REAL sword-fighting game.

The video is a couple months out of date. I haven't played in a while, but wouldn't be surprised if they've already improved the animations.

Blimey, I remember this back when it was called berimbau. Glad to see they are still working on it.

I remember getting into the beta for this, and then trying it like once.
I wonder if the installation method is still retarded, you had to sign up for an account from their service, and then launch the mod from their own launcher, outside Steam. If you tried to launch it from Steam, it wouldn't work.

How long has this been in "early development"?

How long have they not been working on dystopia 1.4? Fuckers

A lot of the animations are old and are being redone, they just haven't been added yet.

It was released on Steam Early Access on Monday but has been available to pre-order/enter beta from March. The game itself has been in development for a number of years, first off starting off as a mod and then following a successful Kickstarter it has been developing into a full game.

Looks neat - bought.
Add me on steam if you want to play in about 30 minutes once it is downloaded.
