Okay, that out of the way, I'll just say, have a look at this.
It's definitely still in development, not sure why they released, but in comparison to almost every other game I played this year, this one at least has the gameplay ready and good to go.
I recorded a video showing off what's working and what isn't, quick overview of the classes and customization-system and the games' options, but with my connection-speed, it's gonna take forever to upload.
In the meantime, I'll just copy-paste my Steam recommendation:
One thing this game definitely has down (and down well!) is polished gameplay. It plays very well, the UI is excellent for the most part and the classes are really fun. However, at this point of writing, lots of functionality (groups, clans, picking game-mode [have to go random], customizable skills) has not yet been implemented, so be aware of that. Compared to most other unfinished releases though, the gameplay is right and it's already there.
A note on customization, from what I understand you basically have a set amount of stat-points and as you rank up (all the way to level 99), you unlock re-stat points. You will never be stronger than someone else stat-wise, you will just be more customized towards what you want to do. Stats include armor, speed, max mana, etc. There will be Focuses for customizing skills (think runes in D3).
They are still very much working on this, so if that doesn't pose a problem for you and you enjoy MMO-PvP in a TF2-like gameplay-environment, then I can and do recommend this game. Watch some gameplay vids on YT, then make a choice.
All I needed to know personally, was that Pyromancers can "rocket-jump". I was sold.
Video coming tomorrow most likely.
P.S.:
