“水墨画风的卡通人物再结合古风韵味十足的BGM,玩起来让人感觉非常舒服。游戏的主要玩法应该算是战棋,但是上手略有难度,推荐新手玩家从普通难度开始游玩。本作不同于传统战棋游戏玩法,需要考虑除了金额个外还有地形等方面的因素,也就是说利用游戏中的特殊地形可以打出特殊伤害效果。在战斗中除了获得经验强化小队的技能外,还可以获得强化道具的材料。游戏中的不同boss有着不同的机制,比较考验玩家对于策略布局的掌控。”

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access to connect with players early, gather feedback, and refine the game’s systems and mechanics. Inkbrush:The Demon Wars is built around strategic combat and a rich collection system, and player experience and suggestions are vital to shaping the final game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to complete development and release the full version within 12 months. Content updates and performance improvements will be ongoing, and the timeline may adjust based on player feedback and development progress.”

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

“The current version includes the full core combat mechanics and 12 maps. We are continuing development with the goal of adding a chapter-based storyline, a skill tree system, and equipment crafting features. For the full version, we plan to expand the selection of playable characters, enrich the narrative, introduce more enemy types, and create additional maps, depending on how development progresses and feedback from players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The overall framework has been completed, along with multilingual support, 12 chapters of battle maps, and 2 boss battles.”

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

“Yes. As the game becomes more complete and polished, we plan to increase the price when the full version is released.”

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

“We welcome feedback through the Steam Discussion forums. In the future, we plan to open a Discord server and continue engaging with players via updates and development logs.”
