What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are excited to get the game in players' hands as soon as possible so that we can receive feedback that will help shape the game into what it's meant to be. "The Dark Heart of Balor" is a game with an emphasis on action RPG style combat which requires iteration and input from a dedicated community which will help us refine all the mechanics.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Additional content, polish, and balancing may take up to an additional year or more.”

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

“The final release of the game will feature more game levels, better refined combat scenarios, general visual and gameplay improvements. Some content featured in early access might also get extra polishing and additional features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access version features a large set of levels that make up Act 1. It is several hours of gameplay, fully dressed up environment, a large variety of enemies, bosses, multiple magic spells and skills. Some combats, enemies, and magic abilities might feel a little bit off balance and/or need more polishing. Everything is playable and thoroughly tested to ensure a smooth gameplay.”

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

“The plan is to keep the price the same both during and beyond the Early Access period.”
