14 DAY TRIAL // As expected, Magic: Legends, the free-to-play action RPG has now entered open beta worldwide. Players who'd like to check out Cryptic Studios' new game can do so by downloading the open beta on Arc Games or the Epic Games Store.
For a limited time, players who join the open beta will be able to step into the shoes of a powerful, spell-wielding Planeswalker and travel across five diverse regions while collecting more than 175 powerful mana-based spells and 170 pieces of equipment inspired by the original strategy game.
It's important to mention though that while Magic: Legends will launch on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation4 later this year, the open beta is only available on PC at the moment.
On the bright side, players who download Magic: Legends on Arc Games will receive a free Gavony Vigilante Costume for their character, the 'Bruiser’ skin for the Ogre Mortar creature summon, two drop boosts and two mission boosts. On the other hand, Epic Games Store users have until April 6 at 9 a.m. PT to claim a free Moorland Ranger Costume, Moorland Ranger Werewolf Summon Skin and two drop boosts.
Magic: Legends promises to offer a new story fit for the Magic: The Gathering universe. Also, the game allows players to harness the power of mana through five diverse starter classes and switch between these classes on the fly - with additional classes available later on.
More importantly, Magic: Legends offers a plethora of spells and spell pages that can be collected to make each spell more powerful. Players will acquire and utilize Equipment and Artifacts to synergize with their decks to craft their desired playstyles.
The game offers both cooperative gameplay for up to three players, as well as 1v1 PvP Duels. During the open beta, players will be able to choose from five unique starter classes of Planeswalkers: Geomancer, Mind Mage, Beastcaller, Sanctifier, and Necromancer.
