Not Recommended
By Turn-Based Tactics June 30

“Billed as a dungeon crawler, Arhaekon suffers from imbalanced gameplay and other design issues. Hopefully this will be addressed in the full release, but the extent of reworking will be considerable.”

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to build a community around the game to provide us with feedback and suggestions: new ideas of various features they would like to see in the game. This doesn't mean we do not have a hefty list of features & content already planned.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We do not want to keep the game in an endless early access, therefore we will be releasing the full product once the planned features are settled.”

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

“The main features of the full release may include:
- Boss encounters for notable regions;
- Overhaul of gameplay systems according to community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state includes all features that aren’t mentioned in the previous section - which will be added or changed accordingly.”

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

“We are still considering options.”

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

“We plan on relying on the community for constructive feedback, bug reports & feature requests.”

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

AI was used to reduce time investment in illustration art. The AI art can be seen in various UI elements where illustrations are present. Please note, all of the AI art you see wasn't merely generated and thrown into the game, it obviously needed a fairly extensive degree of retouching.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

"Mature content" takes the form of violence and blood, some partly uncovered statues of monsters, humans or other entities or summarily clothed/ragged/uncovered humanoids.
