Why Early Access?

“We'd like to engage with the players to hear ideas and discuss features in order to make improvements and shape the game to the best it can be before release.

Since there is no level cap in Nordicandia, the balancing and polishing of all skills, items, enemies, crafting and other aspects is a complex task for a tiny team, and we believe that the community can provide useful input into finalizing the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in early access for 12 months or less, but this may change depending on the feedback from the community.”

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

“We want to expand on all features of Nordicandia, and finalize the important mechanics, such as:
- Questlines
- More guild features and multiplayer challenges
- Add more enemies, bosses and NPC's
- Add support for PvP/Duels
- Character customization/cosmetic items
- Add more character classes (and skills + skill masteries)
- and more...”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“There are two game modes, Normal and Season.
You can choose to participate in competitive ladders and progress through the season challenges, or play more relaxed in the Normal mode. Hardcore mode is also available.

The game includes 3 classes; Warrior, Hunter and Mage, with accompanying active + passive skills and skill masteries. The world is populated by almost 100 different monsters, that can drop lots of different loot in many rarities.

There are NPC's in Town, which provide item crafting services (Disassembling and crafting/merging), giving you a lot of item customization options.

Other than that, there are Portals to Niflheim (side-areas), daily access to Helheim, and other unique places which gives increased gameplay variety.

All-in all, Nordicandia currently has the basic gameplay mechanics incorporated, and since there's no level cap, the end-game possibilities are basically endless.”

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

“No, we do not intend to change the price upon release.”
