The gameplay playtest started on September 28 and ends on October 11 at 10:00 UTC. Developer Amazing Game is testing the core loop: fly into a dangerous zone, scavenge, fight and escape through a warp jump. The rule is simple: only what you extract is yours. The studio is also watching balance and how its servers hold up under load.

The test has four classes with talent builds. Ships are built from five components (weapons, defenses, propulsion and modifications), and chips can be swapped mid-mission. There is also an open world with resources and contracts.

The developers call it a third-person spaceship shooter built on an MMORPG framework. According to its Steam page, matchmaking for extraction runs is solo for now, while the PvPvE dungeon Void Invasion can pit you against other players as well as NPCs. For now, that makes it closer to a space extraction game with a shared hub than a traditional MMORPG.

This is not the first test: the closed M2–Alpha 1 ran in February, and a demo was part of Steam Next Fest in June. There is still no release date.

Supported languages are English and Simplified Chinese. The requirements are steep even for a test: at minimum a Ryzen 5 5600G, 8 GB of RAM and an RTX 2060 with 6 GB of VRAM. The game has to be installed on an SSD and needs 80 GB.

All of the game's tests are on the Nova Era: Atom page.
