Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Development of Caveblazers has been a long process, but the game is now in a stable and enjoyable state. We want the community to be as involved in possible with the development process, and we will be prioritizing highly-requested features. You can voice your opinions on the Caveblazers subreddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/caveblazers), on Twitter (https://twitter.com/RupeckGames), or here on Steam.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Caveblazers will be developed continuously, and will leave Early Access when it has enough content to justify a full release. Our current full release estimate is Q1 2017.”

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

“The features in the full release will largely depend on community feedback. However, our initial thoughts about future features are as follows:
  • Loads more items, weapons, equipment, etc.
  • Improvements to AI characters, making them smarter and more varied.
  • Additional areas.
  • More secrets & mystery
  • An ending.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is an Alpha version, most of the core functionality is in the game, and a lot of content is yet to be added.

This version includes the first 4 areas, a substantial amount of items, procedural level generation. All 4 of the current areas are unfinished, and there is no end to the game yet.”

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

“The price may increase for the game's full release.”

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

“The community is an important part of the development process. We will be focusing on community requested features first, and blog posts will be added about each major update.

You can voice your opinions on the Caveblazers subreddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/caveblazers), on Twitter (https://twitter.com/RupeckGames), or here on Steam.

We are very much looking forward to seeing your feedback throughout the Early Access phase”

Big Update Coming Next Week!



Jump aboard the hype train! Caveblazers is getting a big update this coming Monday! (21st November)

This update focuses on giving the player more choice, and different ways to become powerful. There are now opportunities to choose which blessing to receive instead of being stuck with a random one. There are also Altars in the game where you can combine 2 of the same weapon to create a "super weapon", meaning that ending up with duplicate weapons is no longer a hindrance.

There's also a whole bunch more content to look forward to including new enemies, new bosses, a scorching new area, new weapons & items, demonic blessings, challenges and more!

I hope you're as excited to play this update as we are to release it!

Thanks!

P.S. if you haven't seen it yet, there's also a new trailer showing off the new features in this update here: https://youtu.be/ujeHt7ZOisM

About This Game

Caveblazers is an action focused platformer roguelike set in a fantasy world. Each game is unique with procedurally generated levels to explore and a massive amount of items, weapons and equipment to discover.
The game takes place in a recently discovered cave, said to hold "unimaginable power". You play as an adventurer setting out to explore the cave and find out what riches it holds, however you are not the only one...

As you delve deeper in to the cave, you'll discover new areas to explore, new weapons and new monsters to try them out on.

Key Features

  • AI Characters - Throughout your journey in Caveblazers you will encounter other adventurers. These adventurers can help you in your journey, and help you defeat the other AI characters: Orcs & Goblins! The advanced pathfinding system means that friendly characters will be able to follow you wherever you go, and hostile characters will be able to track you down wherever you hide. There is no escape. Be afraid!
  • Platformer Roguelike - Caveblazers is a modern platformer which incorporates some Roguelike and RPG elements such as permanent death, randomized potion identities, an RPG-style inventory system and tons of items, equipment and upgrades!
  • Procedural Level Generation - Each level is procedurally generated, fully destructible, and full of monsters, items & things for the you to smash!
  • Epic Boss Fights - Between each area you'll encounter a boss. Each boss is very unique, requiring a different strategy to defeat. Bosses are generally gigantic monstrosities with life bars stretching across the entire screen. Good luck!
  • Character Customization - A whole load of unlockable hats, tunics, trousers, robes, and more!
  • Compelling Combat - Largely overlooked in other modern Roguelike games, Caveblazers attempts to move away from the simplistic combat systems we've seen in other games in the genre, and incorporates fun, fluid and fast-paced combat which is accentuated by the game's brutal and persistent blood effects.
  • Challenges - In case that isn't enough content, Caveblazers features a bunch of challenges for the well seasoned players to take a punt at. These challenges reward players with new items, weapons & perks!

Planned Features

The features in the full release will largely depend on community feedback. However, our initial thoughts about future features are as follows:
  • Loads more items, weapons, equipment, etc.
  • Improvements to the AI characters, making them smarter and more varied.
  • Additional areas.
  • More secrets & mystery.
  • An ending.
