Shape your fate in a devastated American Southwest in Afterglow
The game, Afterglow, is an MMORPG set 77 years post-nuclear war, where most of the world was destroyed.

As you venture forth, you’ll encounter mysterious objects and occurrences that have dramatically altered the surroundings. You’ll be able to direct a squad of up to three characters to collect, manufacture, or fight off adversaries. The advantage here is that the game isn’t strictly idle; with the semi-idle system in place, your team will continue their tasks even when you step away.
Strategic combat, flexible play, and no pay-to-win in a rich retro-themed 1980s world
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m particularly drawn to
The game appears highly intriguing, featuring an ’80s motif, multiple factions, semi-autonomous gameplay, a player-managed economy, captivating narratives, quests, concealed treasure troves, and enigmatic CELL entities. It also boasts PvP mechanics involving territory control, and most appealingly, it eschews pay-to-win strategies. This setup has piqued my interest significantly.

This year, Afterglow will debut on both Android and iOS devices. At present, it’s undergoing closed alpha testing, and you can apply for participation by completing the playtesting access application form. If chosen, be sure to review their testing guidelines for an enjoyable experience.
