What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The core reason for choosing the Early Access model is the desire to receive player feedback promptly during development – this helps refine game details more accurately, thereby improving development efficiency as well as the game’s completeness and quality. At the same time, This mode is also expected to allow more players to get in touch with and understand this game in advance,, enabling the game to be gradually polished to better meet everyone’s expectations with player participation.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until winter 2027.”

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

“Plans are in place to explore differences between the full version and the Early Access version from multiple aspects. For example, attempts will be made to add a more complete storyline, explore the introduction of new stages and character attack skills, and research the inclusion of new enemies (including more powerful bosses) and their corresponding skill mechanics. At the same time, continuous efforts will be made to optimize game balance, explore the addition of selectable characters, and improve the controllability and appearance of existing characters. These directions advanced gradually based on player feedback and actual development progress, with specific content updated as progress is made.​
Plans include:​
-Adding a complete storyline​
-Introducing new stages and new attack skills​
-Including new enemies, bosses, and skills​
-Optimizing game balance​
-Adding selectable characters and improving character controllability and appearance”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version has implemented a 3D level-clearing mode. Players can control one hero character to move and clear levels within the scene; during the level-clearing process, basic attacks and ultimate skills can be used, and defeating monsters along the way and the level boss result in victory for that round. Future updates gradually enrich existing gameplay details based on feedback.”

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

“We plan to gradually increase prices when releasing new content and features.”

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

“When there are updates to the game,We publish in the community at any time.Players can actively communicate with us in the community, including reminding us to fix bugs in a timely manner, providing suggestions for character personalities or moves, system optimization suggestions for the game, and reasonable and constructive suggestions for the storyline. After discussing the optimization suggestions provided by everyone, we made revisions and adopted them.”

About This Game

“Backlight War” is a 3D top-down post-apocalyptic survival delivery game. In the post-apocalyptic ruins, you play as a prison inmate trapped in debt, assigned by the "Crisis Emergency System" (launched by the top post-apocalyptic management) to risk your life completing delivery missions—you’ll navigate through broken walls and debris, fight against zombies and mutated monsters, and deliver packages on time to earn rewards.

It comes with a core debt-based financial system: the "Crisis Emergency System" exploits labor in the name of "debt repayment". Your rewards are first used to offset your debt, and only the remaining amount can be spent on weapons and protective gear. If you fall behind on debt repayments, punitive increases in mission difficulty will be triggered. Only by constantly braving dangers to complete deliveries can you gradually pay off your debt and find a glimmer of survival in the doomsday.

  • You control a single character, enter the post-apocalyptic city, defeat monsters, and deliver goods to citizens.

  • You can enhance your abilities by pressing buttons or touching supplementary items and enhancement items on the ground.

  • Getting hit by enemies will reduce your health, and the game ends when you run out of lives.

  • The moment you enter the city, you face direct threats from the outside world—various monsters will charge at you head-on. Defeat them with the skills you learned in the training camp!
