Fists of Fu Open Beta Announced

Outspark’s light hearted beat-em-up MMORPG Fists of Fu is entering open beta testing soon! Sometime in early September 2010 Fists of Fu will open its doors to the general public for this final round of testing. The open beta is scheduled to last until the end of September and should transition to full shortly after.

Fists of Fu shares some similarities with other brawler MMORPGs like Dragonica Online, Dungeon Fighter Online, and the 3D Divine Souls. But the game it reminds me of most of all is Ntreev’s Grand Chase. All make heavy use of instancing and have action oriented combat. Grouping up is optional, but strongly encouraged in this genre since it makes the stages much more enjoyable. There are three base classes to choose from in Fists of Fu including the Fighter, Magician, and Archer. Learn more about the game on the MMOHuts Fists of Fu page which includes screenshots, videos, and a details review!
