What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“A World of Little Legends is an ambitious project. It is therefore important to get a lot of feedback from the community to deliver a result that offers the best possible gameplay. Many ideas and feedback already went into the development. With the Early Access the time has come to extend this to a larger community. In addition, some complex expansions are planned, which will accompany the common path of development for a long time. Until a full version is available, there would be a too long waiting period for many who would like to play Little Legends and/or gift it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“An exact date is hard to name. There are some big features on the to-do list, especially multiplayer support. The time until the full version is available will therefore probably take two years or more. During this time, however, there will be regular playable updates.”

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

“The following features are currently planned for the full version of Little Legends:
  • Day/night cycle.
  • Underground mining in multiple depth levels.
  • Dungeons
  • A dark "parallel world" with portals.
  • Expansion of the map generator for mountains / deep waters.
  • House building
  • More (magic) items / NPCs
  • Language support for german
  • Multiplayer

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access of Little Legends includes the most important features for a well-rounded premature gaming experience. The basic resource and crafting system is available to build your own base. Also plant growth and animals for a sustainable game world. The world is built randomly procedurally, based on world seeds, and therefore offers a different experience every time. Food helps to survive in the world and the basics for the combat system as well as first enemies and special places to explore are implemented.

Also, one of the most important features is already available: The individual creation of your little legend (game character).”

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

“At the moment we assume that the Early Access price will be lower than the full version. If possible, the community will also be included in the pricing.”

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

“All development of Little Legends takes place live on Twitch. Along with the Steam Community Hub, live stream interaction is the most important tool for engaging the community in the development process.”

About This Game

Build a farm… to save the world.

Runika is a cozy 2D sandbox RPG about farming, exploration and challenging boss battles. Inspired by classic SNES adventures, the spirit of the 90s can be felt in every corner of the world.

Cross the mysterious Rift between worlds, build your own farm and shape the land however you like, free from the pressure of strict day-cycles.

Discover what has awakened deep within the Realm-Between.

Features

  • Create your own cozy farm without the pressure of daily cycles or seasonal deadlines. Grow crops and keep animals in your own enclosures.

  • Shape a fully terraformable world to your liking. Dig irrigation channels for your fields, lay down paths and connect everything with minecart tracks!

  • Experience a “Cozy Soulslike” through challenging but fair boss fights that reward preparation and experimentation.

  • Follow the paths of the Realm-Between and explore ancient ruins to uncover more about the threat emerging from the Rift.

  • Gather resources, unlock recipes and craft hundreds of tools, decorations, meals and other useful items across many different crafting stations and ovens.

  • Fill your home with furniture, carpets and decorations to slowly turn Runika into a place of your own.

  • A modern pixel art adventure inspired by the 16-bit era, filled with small references to classic SNES games.
