Danmachi: Battle Chronicle is actually getting a beta test in March before its spring release, with applications starting today on the official site. That being said, you may want to hold off on that unless you know you can play since the beta is explicitly intended only for Japan.
The developer is looking to pick 3,000 participants between today and March 10, with the beta that will be officially hosted on both iOS and Android between March 16 and March 22.
