Crowfall is like RTS meets EVE Online meets Minecraft...if that made any sense? Also, before massive battles (hundreds of players), building structures and economy make it into the game, it currently looks rather like MOBA than MMO...but you can play Tetris there!?

Another strange thing is, frequent changes of sex/class/race are likely - account and progression are tied to crow-spirit, not the body/avatar. Now, alpha access is expensive ($100 or more, as I type this!) but open beta = free tests are scheduled for "summer 2017", requiring only registration on the site. Here are some early player made videos, starting with TheLazyPeon's recent preview:

PS If my incomprehensible intro didn't make any sense, IGN Wiki maybe will!?

PPS In my opinion, the success or failure of indies such as this (or Camelot Unchained, Shroud of the Avatar...not to mention "indie" Star Citizen) is crucial for the future of genre.

This game always intrigued me, but I will have to wait till it's out of early access to give it a try. I don't have much time for MMOs. :c

I agree, unless you want to test and give feedback - I'd recommend waiting at least till beta, or later.

Hey, glad that you liked it! Here's some more, say - about death and body swaps. After death, players will often have to fly (as a crow-spirit) and seek new body to possess, not necessarily the same class, race or sex:



...or this - how wildlife changes through four seasons, as The Hunger slowly devours the world. Take kitty for example:



...or some random recent test footage - it's all still very early and rough and yadda...you know it all:
