OGPlanet recently announced the open beta testing period for their newest free-to-play title; Cabal Online.  With almost 1 M players already enjoying the game across Europe and Asia, this much anticipated online action game now arrives on American shores.  The beta period opens today, January 2nd through to the official launch planned for February 21st.

Cabal will be a new and exciting entry to the free-to-play, microtransaction space with a host of features.

The game centers around players defending the people of Nevareth from an evil entity known only as CABAL.  This cabal nearly destroyed Nevareth centuries before, but the land was saved and rebuilt by seven great masters that use Force Power.  Fast forward 1000 years, and CABAL has returned to finish the job, leaving players to master the Force (Luke) and save Nevareth.

Cabal Online is set in a rich and featured filled environment which includes ice temples, forgotten ruins, desert hideouts, mutant forests and volcanic citadels.  Not wanting to be just another ‘me, me, me’ MMO, Cabal features a number of rich, dynamic quests, including over 300 dungeons (300!?!?!), and 170 levels (zOMG!).

Game Features:

• An interactive combat system that utilizes combination attacks (precision and timing sensitive) to deliver blow after blow with NPC and PvP encounters.
• Six distinctive classes of characters-Warrior, Force Archer, Blader, Force Shielder, Wizard and Force Blader-each offering an entirely unique game play experience within Cabal.
• An in-game downloadable jukebox that allows players to download their own songs to play while they take on Cabal.
• A fluid fighting interface that brings intuitive and elegant motions to players’ fingertips. Different classes bring unique movements and actions to their character both in and out of the battle zone.
• All in-game items can be crafted into new items or enhancement.
• A dynamic character-creation tool with more than 200 options.
• More than 300 dungeons featuring highly original and challenging quest designs to explore.

• Astral cycles and boards allow players to travel great distances in short amounts of time.
• Hundreds of weapon styles, ranging from blade, bow and arrow, guns, and magic, are available.
• Supports multi-player Server-Client.
• A state-of-the-art game engine delivers stunning, high-polygon-count 3D graphics at a sustainable high frame rate, even on low-end machines.
• Unparalleled special effects: dynamic lighting shading, Z-buffering, particle-based effects.
• An engine designed and built by a staff experienced with massive network traffic management to minimize any latency.
• Supports most popular 3D hardware accelerators.
