Ready to tell the developer what to do with your favorite game? Well, if you get lucky, you might have the chance to do just that, as Perpetual Entertainment has just revealed to the press that gamers can now sign up for the closed beta trial of the upcoming Roman mythology-based MMO game, Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising.

With co-publishing partner, Platform Publishing, Perpetual recently launched a signup page where visitors can register for the chance to get access, play and provide feedback on the game during its final testing phase, the press release also says.

"By identifying what works and what does not, our closed beta testers will help shape the final version of the game," said Chris McKibbin, Co-Chairman and President of Perpetual Entertainment. "It's an exclusive opportunity to help us polish the final version of Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising, thus making it a truly legendary experience."

What's great about this MMO game from Perpetual is that it lets gamers take on the role of a son or daughter of an Olympian god. A quite unique and innovative squad combat system will be used on the journey, while attack animations will provide gamers with total control over every move. The player's task is to overcome and conquer the enemies of Rome, such as Gauls, Greeks, and Samnites, as well as the Cyclops, Minotaur, Hydra, Medusa, and other creatures from Roman mythology. Each player will command the powers of the gods and their own custom squad as they fight to save Rome.

Some features worth mentioning:

- Acquire, train and control a squad of warriors in epic battles using both traditional and user-created formations. - Build and customize a squad of soldiers including melee, ranged and caster-class fighters. - Master forceful hand-to-hand combat tactics in gladiatorial duels based on the ancient pankratic method of wrestling. - Face and fight fierce mythological creatures including Medusa, Chimera, Cereberus and the Hydra among others waiting to challenge you. - Experience fast-paced combat featuring moves choreographed and tuned so finely that the timing resonates to the feel of action role-playing games. - Command and wield the unequaled powers of the gods as you fight to save Rome. - Fight alongside and control as part of your squad creatures of myth - Embark on over 1,000 story-driven missions.
