What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Due to the free-form nature of Defenders of Cardom's upgrade system, it is extremely hard to balance new towers and enchantments as the game's scope grows. Along with this, the final vision for the game has a large amount of very varied levels and mechanics, which brings lots of bugs and balancing issues.

Early Access will allow us to grow the game to a much fuller and well balanced extent, as our limited resources greatly restrict our QA abilities.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 10 - 16 months, depending on final scope of the game's content”

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

“The core gameplay loop is finalized, but the game needs a lot of polish still. I plan to greatly expand upon the number of levels and cards, scope of the hub-world, and adding in smaller mechanics to both levels and the hub-world.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version has all the mechanics listed in the "About this" section. The current number of levels and size of the overworld is still small, but the levels that are finished are considered fully developed.”

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

“The price is planned to be increased following its release out of early-access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback in terms of card, level balancing, and bugs is extremely important for polishing the game, especially as the scope of the cards in the game increases. Suggestions for new cards or mechanics is also important. We plan to carry out regular balance surveys, and eventually create a community Discord in order to gather feedback and showcase development.”
