The BrawlQuest Closed Beta
Please let us know your thoughts and any issues you encounter on the Steam Community forums.
Many thanks,

Steam!
Hello!
Pleased to announce that BrawlQuest is now on Steam. It isn't yet publicly available to purchase and won't be until the Beta starts on October 1st, but active players of Alpha can request a key and take advantage of Steam's auto update feature.
This will make pushing updates and keeping track of players significantly easier and for now also spells the end of the character profile service on eu.brawlquest.com.
We're working to make a revamped version of that system that will debut shortly after the Beta has launched.
For now, thanks for playing and welcome to the beginning of the future!
Sincerely,
Pebsie
