Virtually all of the art you see is placeholder The game is still in beta.

And yes, it's quite similar to H&H, but it's a far cry from just H&H 3D. Most of the core mechanics are brand new, and all the worst problems with H&H mechanics have been resolved. I wish I could go into detail, but I'm under an NDA

I fully expect vast majority of people who get into the beta to be very disappointed, though, because the game is quite content-poor at this stage of development.

[Girlinhat]

This is one point where I hate NDA.  You can't brag about the game and convince me to play it!

[DJ]

I think it might be lifted when beta starts tomorrow.

Still, I expect vast majority of people who get into beta to give you negative remarks about the game because it really is completely bare-bones when it comes to content. Kinda like H&H back in May '09.

[KoE]

Man, I know you probably didn't mean it the way I read it but H&H circa summer '09 just reminds me of the glory days. (Although I'm sure that's tinted by nostalgia, heh)

Either way, it's worth a shot. Glad I went through the trouble to gather referrals after all.

[DJ]

IMO the one thing that made those glory days so good was weekly updates. And Salem beta is bound to have those too if they plan to have enough content for a Q3 '12 launch.

Used Evil Marahadja's referral since it was at top of page.
