What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The overall completion of "Black Spire" is relatively high, but we are aware that there are still some parts of the game that need be optimized. We believe it is important to release the game to players as soon as possible for them to experience, and provide feedback for the game's further refinement and development.
We hope "Black Spire" to be of simplified controls while maintain the combat fun and difficulty. One of our game's key features is that the protagonist keeps moving forward herself without taking any input from players. This is a rare design. We are not quite sure how players could accept this, so we hope to release through Early Access and quickly gather feedback from the the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“EA is expected to last 3-6 months. We will timely announce the game's updates and progress through the community.”

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

“We expect to add and improve the following content and make more targeted optimizations based on player feedback after the EA release:
1. Expand and improve the game's plot.
2. Optimize the AI behavior of enemies.
3. Add more level content.
4. Fully support controllers.
5. ...”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The EA version is relatively complete. "Black Spire" currently features 40 unique playable levels and dozens of distinctive enemies to challenge. We have made 11 original soundtracks. Players can fully experience the game's content in the EA version.”

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

“As the game content gradually updates, we plan to moderately raise the price after Early Access.”

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

“We welcome everyone to experience our game and share their opinions! We will always pay attention to your gameplay feedback, listen to your opinions and suggestions, and we will keep a close eye on the discussions on Steam forums. We will also update the game developer's log timely to share the game's ongoing development progress and new content.”

About This Game

Hello everyone! We are Mechland, a small development team of two members. This is our brand new side-scrolling souls-like game, Black Spire!

Our initial goal in designing this game was to create a ‘Souls game for everyone’, so we simplified our basic game control to just attack and roll. The character will move on itself. Attack and parry share the same button. We hope this design can further streamline combat controls so that the transition between attack and defense can be more seamless.


Of course, you can do far more than this. You can experience so much more in this adventure, getting equipment and accessories and learning a wide array of moves and magics that can be really helpful when you are in a pinch.



Please take your time to explore Black Spire and hone your skills. Strategize your combat style however you like, and slay every opponent that stands in your way!


You’ll also encounter many characters along the journey. Listen to their stories and decide whether you want to help them. It might not always be easy, but you might reap the rewards of friendship in unexpected ways.


Like any Souls game, boss fights are meant to be challenging. These elite enemies will try everything to stop you. And you can only go higher over their dead bodies.


Slay your enemies to reap the rewards, and uncover the dark secrets behind Black Spire. We hope you enjoy our game and have lots of fun!
