More about Angelic
Angelic: The Chaos Theatre stands out as one of the few NFT games available on the Steam store, which maintains strict policies against blockchain gaming. The Chaos Theatre functions as a free tactical multiplayer module set within the broader Angelic universe—a narrative strategy RPG built around a collaborative sci-fi setting. Players explore humanity's evolution through distinct Angelic characters.
For those interested in upcoming titles poised to excel in the turn-based RPG genre with integrated NFT functionality, Angelic represents a promising starting point. However, like other Steam multiplayer games incorporating crypto elements, direct access to Angelic's NFT features will not be available through the Steam platform.

Angelic: The Chaos Theatre on Steam
Metaverse Game Studios is preparing to launch the Open Alpha of Angelic: The Chaos Theatre on Steam, heralding forthcoming updates and enhanced features for enthusiastic players. This milestone marks the game's inaugural Open Alpha phase, providing a preview of its evolving gameplay experience.
Optimization and performance enhancements
Responding to earlier player concerns, the developers have prioritized game optimization. The updated build delivers smoother performance across a wider variety of hardware setups. Minimum specifications now include Nvidia GTX 1060 for achieving 30+ FPS at 1080p resolution, with potential FPS gains of up to 250% depending on your setup. Players with Nvidia RTX GPUs can further enhance their experience by enabling DLSS for even higher frame rates.
Play against AI: PvE game modes
This release introduces PvE game modes, letting players engage in single-player or cooperative gameplay against AI opponents. This feature caters to both solo players and groups looking to hone their skills or simply enjoy the game without waiting for matchmaking. While the AI's capabilities will evolve over time with deep learning, initial iterations offer challenging gameplay with unique victory conditions and strategic limitations.
AI Integration and New Game Modes
Player progression and hero unlocking
Angelverse introduces a structured player progression system, where leveling up grants rewards and unlocks new heroes. Starting with three core heroes—Phoenix, Xander, and Seliné—players can unlock additional heroes by collecting "angel shards." This system streamlines the initial experience for newcomers while providing long-term goals through hero customization and skill development.
Tutorials and user experience enhancements
The update includes a new combat tutorial mode. This sandbox-style tutorial lets players familiarize themselves with gameplay mechanics and test each hero's abilities, promoting a more engaging and informed start to their Angelic journey.
Unlocking Heroes
Angelverse account system overhaul
Angelic is migrating its account system to new infrastructure. This transition resolves existing issues and expands accessibility to players in regions like China. New features such as website synchronization will further enhance user experience, ensuring a seamless connection between gameplay and community interaction.
Final thoughts
While originally targeting a debut during Steam Next Fest, the team remains committed to delivering a polished experience and may adjust the release timeline accordingly. Players can anticipate the new build becoming available in the coming weeks, with potential opportunities for public participation and tournament events as part of the Open Alpha phase.
Erkan Bayol, Founder and CEO of Metaverse Game Studios, has expressed gratitude for community support as Angelic moves toward its full open beta release later this year. Updates will continue as the game progresses based on player feedback.
"Your feedback and support have been invaluable in shaping Angelic, and we can't wait to continue this journey together. Keep an eye out for more updates as we approach the Open Beta. Thank you for being a part of our community. See you in the next update, Angels."
