Why Early Access?

“Astatos represents many new frontiers for our team. With both single player and online multiplayer to refine and balance, Early Access is an invaluable tool to let our community have a voice in what they want to see us work on as we do our best to make a great game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access for Astatos to conclude alongside the completion of the main story scenario, which we expect to be by December 2024. Before then, we plan to refine the gameplay, add new content, and build out the coolest game we can for the full release.”

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

“The full release of Astatos will differ from the Early Access version in terms of content and features. Our current overall goals are the following:

• A fleshed out and complete main scenario.
  
• Add more Hero Cards and abilities for use in multiplayer.
  
• New features.
  
• More artwork and customisation.
  
• Offline support for the game.

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We're over a year into development behind the scenes, but now we've got a solid and polished foundation ready to expand with more content and features!

• The prologue and first chapter of the story mode that kicks off the adventure with heaps of artwork, music, and hours of gameplay.
  
• The full multiplayer modes of Astatos are ready to get you and your friends into some side-flipping card battling action. Including two gameplay modes for 1v1 and 3-8 player co-op. Delve deep into the mechanics of the game while you level up and collect resources you can use to customise your profile and Hero Cards.
  
• A custom multiplayer framework and account system that is built with future cross-platform support in mind.

”

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

“We're offering Astatos at a lower price during Early Access but plan to increase the price at the full release of version 1.0.”

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

“While we have our own development roadmap, we'll be looking at how players play the game and the feedback they give us to make informed decisions about what to change and where to focus on.

Players can give their thoughts any time from the feedback button accessible though the main menu and pause menu in-game. Or drop a comment to us on Twitter, Facebook, the Steam Discussion Boards, and our Discord. We're really looking forward to getting more people hands-on with Astatos!”
