'Aftercharge' (ALL) Limited-Time Closed Beta Next Week

by Rainier on July 23, 2018 @ 8:41 p.m. PDT

Aftercharge is a 3v3 asymmetrical battle between invisible robots and a squad of invincible guards.

The game is set on distant planet Dusk 11 exploited by the Aftercharge corporation for the energy living at its core. The company is in trouble as their line of worker robots called workonics are defecting because of the planet's unstable energy. The robotic uprising is putting the company's extractors in danger. Initially built to avoid corporate espionage, the stealth workonics require a very special set of armaments to deal with. Aftercharge corp has no choice but to send its special enforcer squad to shut down the robots and protect their operations.

The other team are the enforcers, they are class-based and rely on an arsenal of weapons and abilities to spot and stop the workonics. They are invincible as no attack or abilities from the robots can harm them. Their weaponry uses energy rapidly and requires proximity with an extractor to recharge. To win the match, they need to successfully deactivate all three robots simultaneously.

Chainsawesome is hosting its biggest battle to date, inviting thousands of PC (Steam) community members to test their mettle in this frantic 3v3 asymmetrical brawler-shooter in all its smashing-robot, frenzied glory.

Clear your calendar, because the intense cat-and-mouse shootout between invisible robots and invincible enforcers begins in eleven days when Aftercharge enters its limited time closed beta weekend, starting August 3, 2018 at 10:00 am EDT to August 6, 2018 at 10:00 am EDT.

The biggest playable build to-date, featuring new playable characters, more maps and even more fury than ever before! Aftercharge is fast-paced 3v3 battle where invisible robots must rally against their oppressors by destroying the coveted energy extractors that their armed-to-the-teeth indestructible security enforcers fight tirelessly to protect. Throw into the mix ten playable characters to choose from and you’ve got yourself a war for the ages!

Fans interested in participating can do so through the Aftercharge discord channel and request a key.

In each match of Aftercharge, the workonics team have their objective to destroy all six extractors dispersed around the map. On top of their invisibility, these robots have the handy ability to boost each other back to life at any time provided they get close enough. This team must coordinate their attacks, create distractions, and combine their abilities to succeed.

Which side will you take in the battle for control of Dusk 11’s precious resource? The stealthy robots with a vengeance or the troopers sent to stop them?

  • Unique Blend of Fresh Mechanics: An invisible team fighting an invincible team, reviving allies instantly with no limit and zero cooldown on abilities are only a few mechanics that make Aftercharge a shooter you’ve never played before.
