Yesterday, the release of the battle royale Naraka: Bladepoint, the debut game of the Chinese studio 24 Entertainment, took place. During the day of the online project on Steam, he overcame the milestone of 70 thousand people.
According to the PC Games portal with reference to SteamDB service data, the maximum number of simultaneous players on the day of release from Naraka: Bladepoint was 70,731. This allowed the title to get into the top ten most popular games on Steam over the past day.
However, the online release turned out to be two times less than when the open beta of Naraka: Bladepoint started. On the very first day, the beta of the royal battle gathered 120 thousand simultaneous players, and the next day — online reached 145 thousand people.
In fairness, it should be noted that it was possible to play beta for free. Whereas now the standard version of Naraka: Bladepoint is sold for 1199 rubles.
Despite the hype around the release, reviews of the title on Steam are mixed. Basically, players are dissatisfied with the amount of donation and weak servers. Among the advantages, a well-developed customizer, beautiful graphics and unusual ideas with gameplay are noted.
Naraka: Bladepoint is a battle royale with battles for 60 people. The key features of the game were parkour and an emphasis on close combat with cold weapons. Also, the players have a cat hook in stock, with which you can move quickly.
