Why Early Access?

“Immortal Demon Sect already has playable card battles and sect progression, but its combinations of disciples, artifacts and spells would benefit from a wider range of player experiences. Early Access allows us to gather feedback on team builds, campaign difficulty, progression and usability. We want players to help shape our development priorities as we work toward a more engaging, accessible and replayable game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last approximately 3–6 months from the Early Access launch. During this period, we plan to improve combat and usability, refine the tutorial and localization, and prioritize further work based on player feedback. This is our current estimate rather than a fixed full-release date, and it may change as development progresses. We plan to keep players informed of our progress and any changes to this estimate through Steam announcements.”

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

“We plan to build on the existing disciple, artifact and spell system by exploring more card combinations and campaign challenges. We also aim to improve the tutorial, card information, collection management, and the presentation of attacks, hits and spell activation. The standalone legion drill mode is another area we would like to refine. Our overall goals are broader build variety, clearer combat decisions and more satisfying sect progression. Specific additions and priorities may change based on testing and community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build includes single-player, turn-based card battles, 27 disciple variants, 21 spells, and 30 campaign stages across three regions. Players can recruit disciples, organize their lineup, trade cards and equipment, and use the forging and inheritance systems, sect quests and save functionality. A standalone legion drill mode also offers formation setup and battlefield combat; it is separate from the campaign and does not grant campaign rewards. The interface, tutorial, combat presentation, balance and stability are still being refined.”

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

“We plan to raise the base price modestly alongside substantial content or feature additions, such as major new battle modes. This approach applies both during Early Access and after it ends. Routine bug fixes, stability improvements and UI refinements are not intended to trigger price increases, and moving out of Early Access alone is not planned as a reason to raise the price. We plan to announce any price increase in advance through Steam announcements.”

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

“We plan to gather feedback primarily through Steam Community discussions, player reviews and update announcements. Players are welcome to share disciple, artifact and spell combinations, report issues with campaign difficulty, progression or the interface, and suggest improvements or new content. We plan to address common concerns in our update notes, explain changes and upcoming priorities, and use this feedback to help guide development.”
