It's been seven years since we played Tribes: Vengeance, the latest game published in this popular series of multiplayer first-person shooter developed by Irrational Games, the studio responsible, among other things, BioShock. The landscape has changed a lot like that in the meantime, with the exception of the recent Battlefield 3, the tendency has been to confine smaller and smaller players in the maps as an extension. With the new Ascend, Hi-Rez Studio has decided to change this habit and to bring the FPS genre in the great outdoors. Tribes: Ascend is a free game adopting the Freemium business model in vogue at the moment and that, after some resistance from the players, is having a good success among users, thereby ensuring an adequate financial return to the coffers of the producers . The game is currently in a beta with limited access, which we are able to participate, while the output, not yet scheduled for a specified month of 2012, will be preceded by a beta open to the general public.

In Tribes: Ascend players can wear the armor of one of the 12 classes of the game. At the beginning we can choose between two of them, Soldier and Ranger have both characteristics rather general, medium armor and weapons as an assault rifle and a grenade launcher and are considered by the developers of the most simple to use. The other 10 have more specialized roles, and the most peculiar features and equipment such as heavy armor and sniper rifles and must be unlocked with the token that you receive at the end of each game, or spending the Tribes Gold, the currency of the game can be obtained only in exchange for real money on the game store. We do not know if things will be different in the final version of the game, but in the beta rhythm with which we obtain the token is very slow and prices to unlock the classes are very, very high, but again, these are aspects of the game that could change from Here the game was released. Each class can be customized with two passive bonuses that enhance some aspects. These perks, similar to Call of Duty as a function, must be unlocked using certain classes, but can then be used by each of them. The classes also have a tree of specialization in which to spend experience points earned during matches to unlock special bonus and two extra perk we just discussed.
