The world of Nyan Heroes, a cat-driven, mech-battling game, is expanding with its latest Open Pre-Alpha Playtest 3, now available on the Epic Games Store. The playtest will run until September 25, offering new gameplay mechanics, characters, and modes to enhance player engagement.
In Playtest 3, players can experience the highly anticipated Payload mode and explore the new arctic map Erebus. Teams of six will battle it out to defend or push a payload through checkpoints, adding strategic depth to the gameplay. Players will need to utilize high and low ground, as well as unique abilities exclusive to their nimble Nyan form.
Max Fu, CEO and Creative Director at 9 Lives Interactive, the team behind Nyan Heroes, describes the latest playtest as an evolution of the game’s dynamic cat-mech battles. Fu expresses the team’s excitement for players to engage in the Battledome with new strategies and experiences unique to the vibrant, cat-centric world.
Fans of the game will be pleased to discover the new Guardian types—Scout and Mage. The Scout, piloted by the cat Ayana, enhances exploration and battlefield awareness, while the Mage, controlled by the feline Yuri, possesses powerful spells to aid allies and impede enemies. Additionally, a new “embark” mechanic enables Nyans to ride into battle alongside teammates, emphasizing the cooperative gameplay elements.
Customization plays a significant role in Playtest 3 with Augments, enabling players to customize their characters with passive effects like health boosts or explosive modifiers. Furthermore, character emotes have been added in response to community requests, adding fun and flair to matches.
Playtest 3 not only focuses on improving in-game skills but also presents an opportunity for players to earn $NYAN tokens through Airdrop 3. Participants can engage in daily and weekly missions to accumulate MEOW points and claim a share of 5,000,000 $NYAN tokens, which can be used for in-game purchases and gear upgrades.
For Web3 gamers, Airdrop 3 introduces a decentralized twist. By connecting their Solana wallet to the Nyan Heroes portal, players can collect $NYAN tokens, ensuring a fair playing field for all. Active participants will receive priority for rewards, making this playtest suitable for both casual players and dedicated fans looking to test their skills and explore new content.
As Nyan Heroes continues to gain momentum, aiming to establish itself as a standout in the hero shooter market, the development team welcomes community feedback to shape the game’s future. With this playtest, Nyan Heroes aims to combine quirky feline charm with tactical depth, providing an engaging gaming experience for all players.
The question remains: will you gear up and join the battle?
