Read on to learn about Seraph's Beta Test and the game’s official launch scheduled for Q3 2023.

• Diablo-Style Gameplay Controls

Like the epic RPG Diablo, Seraph is a Hack-and-Slash game that is fun to play. Sandok notes that "the game itself was too fun and resembled my teen game, Diablo." Like Diablo 4, Seraph's gameplay controls involve players using their mouse for character movement. This mouse-based gameplay control works for Gushi2031, who commented on the game's characters' "very smooth movements." However, Kyura prefers "moving characters with wasd on keyboard."

• AAA Quality Graphics

Through its AAA-quality graphics, Seraph's dark art style medieval fantasy realm comes alive. Seraph's AAA-quality graphics creates a surreal in-game atmosphere which is a plus point for Kyura, who likes the game’s "design and the atmosphere.". Besides creating a surreal atmosphere, Seraph's AAA-quality visuals also support gameplay. As Gushi2031 observes, "Players right now are on graphics and gameplay of Seraph." Hades sums it up best, "the game changer (of Seraph) is the graphics."

• Issues with Accessibility

Seraph's AAA-quality graphics may be a game changer in improving the in-game atmosphere and gameplay experience, but it affects the accessibility of the game. JD, for example was unable to playtest Seraph due to the game's PC system requirements but is hoping that "it will be available soon on Android." Echoing JD's wishes to play Seraph on mobile, Anakinsfall suggested that the developer, Actoz Soft, "get the game on mobile as it would be phenomenal on mobile."

In preparation for the official launch of Seraph in Q3 2023, we can learn a thing or two from the experience of some of Avocado DAO’s top players who participated in the game's Beta Test.

• Character Class Selection

If you prefer the berserker playstyle, go with the Barbarian character class, which according to Kyura, has "melee attacks or skills."

If you prefer the ranged playstyle, go with the Valkyrie, which according to Kyura, has skills to use "bows, crossbow or even spear."

If you prefer the tactician playstyle, go with the Sorceress, which according to Kyura, has "skills like frost, lightning, and fire."

After Seraph’s official launch in Q3 2023, the game will feature two additional character classes, the Druid and the Necromancer.

• Gameplay Strategy Skills

The key to farming experience efficiently to level up fast in the Seraph action role-playing game (ARPG) is to defeat enemies with the least HP damage to your character. As Anakinsfall observes, Seraph's key gameplay strategy skill is "to do the most damage you can without getting hurt." According to Kyura, an effective way of doing so is "to lure as many enemies as possible, then use an area damage type skill."

• The Team Game

Seraph has a team party game mode which, according to Kyura, allows you to "play with your friends, fight monsters, complete quests and look for items together." A.G.ronie suggests that "you should join a party and focus on finding, upgrading, and combining equipment to make your character stronger and more capable in combat." Playing the team game boosts the fun factor as you can level up faster. As Guishi2031 explains, "It's more fun to play with a party since it will be faster to level up than playing solo."
