Why Early Access?

“Lords & Blades is the Dream project of Sentinel Studios, A large open world action RPG, the game revolves around a mysterious ''Tempus Deus'' character, that is summoned once every five years to save the lands of Eswaydan from their aggressors called ''The Black Hand'' lead by ''Cellius''. The game focusses on old school rpg mechanics combined with rich story telling and talkative NPC's that you can converse with. This requires a lot of testing and feedback from our community, that's why we decided to go Early-Access, so we can see what we can change and how we can best go about developing and building our world.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“about 1 year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Its open for any changes on what people want, but generally we would like to add more items, spells, more enemies, dungeons and general content for people to enjoy. Currently we are working on making the game feel very fluent and smooth on its core gameplay. But as the game progresses we want to add more skills, specialties and perhaps a leveling system with talent tree. Next to a plethora of new items and quests in the large open world.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state is a fun and interactive open world RPG game. It's the full version, allowing you to play it from the start to the end, defeating multiple bosses, growing in power as you find more equipment and items. The main idea is that as the game progresses the game will be expanded upon and problems that will arise will be quickly fixed.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we want to charge a small amount more for the full release.”
