Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe the best way to build a deep, engaging survival crafting experience is to involve players as early as possible. Early Access allows us to gather valuable feedback on balancing, progression, onboarding, multiplayer, and long-term systems while continuing to expand the game together with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While it is difficult to provide an exact timeline, we currently anticipate that Romestead will remain in Early Access for approximately one to two years.

This timeframe allows us to continue expanding the game with new content and features while maintaining a sustainable pace of development and acting on community feedback.”

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

“Our goal for the full version of Romestead is to deliver a more polished, expanded, and feature-rich experience compared to the Early Access launch.

Throughout Early Access, we plan to introduce additional biomes, bosses, progression tiers, points of interest, decorations, and expanded world content. We also plan to continue improving performance, balancing, overall polish, expanded accessibility, and full controller support.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We already feel the Early Access version of Romestead captures the fantasy of exploring, surviving, and building across the ruins of a fallen Roman world.

The Early Access version includes the core gameplay systems of Romestead, including exploration, combat, crafting, farming, town-building, progression across three distinct biomes, co-op multiplayer, and a procedurally generated world featuring handcrafted dungeons and points of interest.”

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

“Yes. We expect to gradually increase the price of Romestead as new content and features are added throughout Early Access and as we move closer to the full 1.0 release.”

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

“Community involvement is an important part of our development process. We invite players to join our official Discord server to share feedback, report bugs, discuss balance, and suggest improvements directly with the team.

We will use community feedback to help prioritize improvements, quality-of-life features, balancing changes, and future content throughout Early Access.”

About This Game

Rome has fallen!

Rebuild civilization in this action-adventure survival game for 1-8 players. Fight hordes of the walking dead, build settlements, restore the Roman gods... or kick back and farm with friends.

In Romestead, the dead walk at night and the gods have gone silent. Explore, gather, build, and slowly turn a camp into a working settlement.

Progression is biome-based: explore, gather resources, craft better gear, restore the gods through offerings and sacrifices, defeat bosses to unlock the next crafting tier, and take on the next biome.

Or take your time. Decorate your settlement, experiment with automation, farm your crops, and hang out with friends.

Features

  • Survive Alone or With Friends
    The game scales in difficulty depending on how many players are in the world. While balanced for up to eight players, we’re not stopping you from inviting more.

  • Physical Resource Management
    Romestead has a regular inventory system, but heavy resources are physical objects in the world. Pick up, carry, throw, and haul lumber and rocks, or build carts to bring resources back from the wild. An enemy closing in? Chuck a boulder in its face.

  • Build Your Settlements
    Search the world for survivors to recruit as artisans, keep your people happy, and turn your towns into hubs for crafting, farming, and production. As you discover more biomes you can build more specialized settlements and even set up trade between them.

  • Restore the Gods
    Crafting isn’t the only way to get stronger. Make offerings and sacrifices to restore the gods’ connection to the world and unlock their technologies, buffs, and upgrades.

  • Find Your Role
    Build around melee, ranged combat, magic, farming, building, or exploration. Solo players will do a bit of everything, but in co-op your group can specialize: fight, gather, craft, farm, automate production, or keep the settlement growing.

  • Explore, Fight, and Loot
    The world of Romestead is procedurally generated, but filled with handcrafted places, secrets, and dungeons. Dungeons range from short combat challenges to sprawling adventures with enemies and puzzles, and reward you with gear, trinkets, survivors, and more.
