What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe that early access is the best way to engage with the community and to receive the most appropriate feedback in order to shape the game into a fun experience for all our players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will remain in early access as long as all its core features are still in development (Approximately 3-6 Months)”

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

“In the full version we plan on adding a generous amount of new solid features that will give to the players a wider variety of actions and replay value, as well as embellish the overall graphic experience, increase sound variety and quality, expand upon the tutorial aspect and improve the gameplay feeling.

Among the features scheduled for development include:

-Battlegrounds, a faction based territory control game mode where players will work together in a war zone in order to successfully take over a city or castle and aid the siege effort by capturing other strategic outposts such as mines and farms, or by defending your own outposts from incoming attackers.

-Clans and guilds, that which players could join and earn benefits in the form of gifts and events, though the primary role this feature would play in is the Battlegrounds gamemode.

-A series of unique single-player character oriented campaigns based on characters, the locations and history of the world of Magion Islands. The players would assume the role of that character and follow their story, making decisions along the way that will change the pace of their story progression as well as other things such as their alignment and stats on the campaign mode.

-Combat resolutions in the form of close encounters. This differs from the default card arena battles, as it uses a 3 character turn based combat system reminiscent of old school RPGs and JRPGs. Players would be able to level up their champions and increase their combat capabilities as their stats go up and they learn to use new attacks. This combat method would be present in chapters of the campaigns, in the Battlegrounds faction wars, as independent quests, events, and with a possibility of even a PvP variation to it.

-Additional missions/quests for generals and daily challenges from the Fortune Teller, Treasure Hunter and Co-Op Raid Missions.

-An Endless mode for the Valkyrie Mountain. Upon defeating the final valkyrie, players will be able to ascend the mountain again, and gain increased awards in exchange for a tougher challenge.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current early access version is in a solid and playable state. The core features are not in their latest stage, both in regards to gameplay and the visual aspect, and others are missing as they're still in development. Most issues pertain to sounds, sound quality, graphics and visuals. A few of our new features still in the works is a new gamemode called Battle Grounds alongside a story campaign. For a complete list of features currently available please consult our "About This Game" section.”

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

“Price will not change when we leave early access, the game will remain free.”

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

“The community's feedback will be paramount for the implementation of new features and cards, as well the proper balancing and care for the already existing content. We would appreciate any and all feedback, feel free to send to our Facebook page linked to the side.”
