All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Welcome!

Today I'm opening up the official playtest for Beards vs. Claws - a fast-paced sandbox FPS where you can dig, build and blast your way through a fully-dynamic environment.

Link to the playtest store page here.

What's waiting for you?

  • A fully destructible voxel world - dig ambush tunnels, build bridges, blast holes through walls with breaching charges.

  • Multiplayer and bots - play solo against bots, or hop on with or against your friends!

  • Multiple gamemodes - King of the Hill, Shifting Hill, Capture the Flag, and so much more.

  • Sandbox chaos - cheats enabled, no rules, do whatever your heart desires!

This is a playtest

I must emphasize, this is a playtest version of the game.

Expect bugs, rough edges, and improvements & changes.

Your feedback will directly shape the game, so now's your chance to give it a try!

How should I submit feedback?

Either right here...

Or from in-game by pressing F9 at any time!
You can also optionally include a screenshot when submitting in-game.

What kind of feedback should I write?

If you play, please share...

  • What feels fun or satisfying?

  • What feels broken or needs changing?

  • Balance (weapons, movement, building, destruction)

  • New ideas! (weapons, gamemodes, chaos)

  • Bugs - especially the reproducible ones! Screenshot evidence recommended!

Sounds great! How do I join?

Click "Join the Playtest" and jump in!


This is only the beginning - more content, polishing and features are already planned down the road.

I can't wait to read and implement all of your feedback!

See you in the craters...
