Why Early Access?

“Even in Early Access, Ova Magica is already a content-rich game!

We want to give players the opportunity to experience the world of Ova Magica while we continue development of the last content and features.

Early Access is a great opportunity for us developers to get feedback from players and further improve Ova Magica for the release of the full game.”
