What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are a small independent game developer and without support from those who wish to see Mahou Arms reach completion we are less likely to succeed. By launching on Early Access, we hope players will try our game and support its development by sharing it with others and providing feedback. More support means more content faster.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’ve been working on Mahou Arms for around seven years now (since 2018) and we expect to release 1.0 sometime in early 2026.”

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

“We have plans to add more missions to complete the story of the game. We will probably add more content as well like side quests, voice acting, etc but our main goal is to have a complete playable story.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Right now there are five main story missions and a collection of side quests. There are two playable characters (Amelia and Susan) as well as some alternate gameplay styles (drone racing, cyberspace battles). ”

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

“Yes. During early access the Mahou Arms will be around 25% cheaper.”

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

“We will monitor the Steam forums for feedback and bug reports, but we encourage players to join our Discord channel where we can communicate with them more directly: ”
