Los Angeles, CA – November 6, 2024 – Uncapped Games, a new studio foundedand led by experienced RTS developers who’ve shipped games from the renowned StarCraft, Warcraft, Dawn of War, and Company of Heroes franchises, announced today that a new phase of betatesting for its upcoming action real-time strategy (RTS) game, Battle Aces, has begun for interested players across the globe! Participants in the previous phase of beta begin testing today, while new players will join starting tomorrow, November 7.
Battle Aces combines the meta strategic elements of deck building games, the fast-paced intensity of RTS games, and MOBA-like controls that make it easier for players to command large armies. This mix of strategic influences, melded with design innovations like instant unit spawning, automated resource gathering, and streamlined basebuilding, keeps players focused on the fun of controlling massive armies in battle while making key strategic decisions to attack, expand, or tech. Players have the flexibility to choose their styleof play, building out their unit decks from nearly 50 unique units, each with different strengths, weaknesses, and special abilities.
New features introduced to Battle Aces in this phase of beta testing include:
New units, including the Gargantua, Knight, Crossbow, and Advanced Destroyer, unlock additional ways to strategize and dominate the battlefield
A robust 2vAI cooperative mode, allowing friends or two players queuing for matchmaking, to team up against computer opponents that are tuned to the players’ skill level
Dynamic contract system (daily & seasonal) with additional ways to earn in-game War Credits and the Warpath battle pass system
New unit counter system, spotlighted for players via tutorial and UI enhancements
Improved quality-of-life features including the ability to try a new unit deck vs AI
Introduction of the Ace personalization system, including:
Custom skins for core bases
Army paints allow players choices in color for their units
Unique avatars, banners, in-match sprays, and emotes round out the ways in which players can adjust how they appear in Battle Aces, as well as express themselves in battle
Further customization options will be introduced later on
“One of the most important parts of game development is collecting and analyzing new player feedback,” said David Kim, senior game director of Uncapped Games. “Beta tests like the one we’re running now for Battle Aces are not only important for us as game developers, but rewarding for players as their input helps to shape games,especially when we can hear that feedback early on in the developmentprocess. We invite all players to play Battle Aces, and giveus feedback to help achieve the vision of making the most funstrategy game for everyone.”
