Brick-Force [CLOSED BETA] (Minecraft meets Team Fortress 2)

Build, Share, Play

This sandbox fun-shooter allows players to create worlds and maps that they’ve always dreamed of, brick by brick. They can share these virtual playgrounds with the community and use them as the backdrop for fast-paced shooter hunts against fellow players or computerized opponents. This comic style online game is built on the ‘Unity 3D’ engine and will be playable directly in a web browser. The ‘sandbox’ mode, in which players use simple building blocks to construct complex environments, can be played on social networks and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Brick-Force is being developed by Korean game developer EXE Games as a co-production with Infernum. Beta and launch of the free-to-play title in Europe and North America are planned for spring 2012.

I did a quick search and was surprised that I couldn't find a single thread about this game.

It is currently in closed BETA but will hopefully be released in spring 2012, you can currently register an account in the hopes of receiving a BETA code. It will be free to play with micro-transactions.

I think this looks quite promising.


Here is a quick trailer for the game: (There are some more on Youtube)

Here is a 16 minute video from TotalBiscuit

I had a quick play of this today at a friends house and it is pretty fun.

However, my first impressions of it being a little like TF2 where wrong. Even though the trailers seem to show a number of different classes, they're cosmetic only at the moment (E.g. Dressing like a medic with medic kits does not let you heal yourself or others). However, this may change as in the shop there was a 'Class' menu, it just hasn't been finished/implemented yet.

It actually feels more akin to Counter-Strike at the moment.
