What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Instruments of Destruction is a vehicle building sandbox with many possible directions, lots of player creativity/control, and high replayability, and those attributes make it a great Early Access title. Though the initial version will be satisfying to play, the exact direction and additional content for the game will be partially driven by community feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The current plan is for it to remain in Early Access for at least a year, with multiple years more likely.”

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

“The full version will likely add more islands, objectives, and vehicle parts. Aside from new and improved content, editors for structures, layouts, and islands are a high-priority for new features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is highly-polished and ready for release. It currently has 70+ parts to build vehicles with and 10 polished islands each with 3 modes of play, in addition to Sandbox mode.”

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

“The price will remain the same for version 1.0. There will be a launch discount (15%) when the game launches. There will be other sales, but no future price changes are planned at this time.”

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

“We plan to stay active in the Steam Community forums, and expect to update the game on a consistent basis. The game development will become more public (streaming, sharing detailed todolists, etc). More details will be announced as development proceeds.”

About This Game

 
Instruments of Destruction features an advanced physics-based destruction system. You can demolish every structure in the game piece by piece thanks to a fully interactive physics system, and every object in the world interacts with the destruction in some way. Each element of the world complements the destruction system and interacts with each other and together they create a physical, visceral world to play with.

NOTE: Text below describes version 1.0. Steam Early Access version includes about a quarter of the final game content. Version 1.0, coming May 10th, will reset campaign progress, but custom vehicles/settings will not be affected.

Play through 50+ missions and high-score challenges using a huge variety of vehicles. Each mission has its own distinct vehicle custom-made to maximize the fun, and all are playable with either a keyboard or gamepad (some specific vehicles also support optional mouse aiming). Vehicles include a flying bulldozer, a tank with quad rocket launchers, an ornithopter with a grappling hook that tears a building down piece by piece, and many more. Join Sharpe Industries as a vehicle test pilot and journey across the world to remote islands and outposts where everything needs to be destroyed.

 

Instruments of Destruction also includes a powerful vehicle editor and an epilogue campaign that teaches you the ins and outs of building your own vehicle. The epilogue campaign features over 25 missions (and challenges) where you're in charge of creating a vehicle that can complete the given objectives. The missions gradually introduce you to vehicle building, but you can always load any previously unlocked or saved vehicle if you just want to jump in a blow stuff up.

Finally, there's a Sandbox mode where there are no limits or objectives. You can load any unlocked map and vehicle (or build your own) and get immersed in the physics and destruction with no pressure or objectives. Between Sandbox mode, the 3-star scoring system, the massive lineup of included vehicles, the powerful vehicle editor, and the thousands of vehicles on the Steam Workshop, you'll never run out of ways to enjoy Instruments of Destruction.
