While my character rose to great (hypothetical) heights of power during the closed beta, the open beta for CD Projekt Red and one2tribe's The Witcher: Duel Mail now begins in earnest, with players all over the globe invited to show them just how slow their game can run with all of you trying to beat up my pretty little level 1 sorceress at once. Her name is Kotaku, and she enjoys long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, ponies, and kicking your sorry arse. Teehee!

The Witcher: Duel Mail [Official Site]

From the creators of The Witcher PC RPG comes The Witcher: DuelMail, a turn-based fighter that plays in your web browser. The game's simple mechanics conceal its addictive nature. Basically you choose one of three character types - witcher, sorceress, or frightener - select a series of attacks and defensive moves, and then hope your moves counter the ones your opponent has picked. Battles play out in your web browser, with the victor receiving experience points and gold to spend on new moves and equipment. Once a fight is finished you can copy the link for the fight to share your victories and defeats with your friends. Developer one2tribe Company has big plans for DuelMail, including special events and constant updates to keep things fresh. Open beta starts April 7th, when thousands of players will discover just how damn addictive this little web game can be.
