What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Since 2012, Klei has used Early Access as part of our process to gather feedback and develop in collaboration with players, producing games like Don’t Starve Together, Oxygen Not Included, Invisible, Inc., Hot Lava, and Griftlands.

By releasing this game in Early Access, we hope to continue to grow our community and get more people involved in its development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We still have a lot more in store for Rotwood, and we plan to continue growing and updating the game throughout 2024 and into 2025. Our Early Access periods generally last from one to two years.”

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

“The plan for the full version of Rotwood is to add more Bosses, Weapons, Armor, Biomes, and customization options. The game has most major features in place and we expect that most of development time will be focused on additional content and complementary systems.


Toward the end of Early Access, we will focus on additional quality-of-life and fine-tuning to prepare for launch.

Mod support and language options are also very important to us, so we expect to have workshop support and additional supported languages by launch or shortly after that.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Rotwood releases with 4 Biomes each including unique final Boss and Mini-boss encounters.

Players can select from 4 major weapon classes, each with their own unique fighting style. As players progress through the Rotwood, they will unlock new weapon variations, armor, powers, biomes, and various customization options for their character and their town.

Combat in Rotwood is designed to be deep and rewarding, with a high skill ceiling. Mastering each weapon class, armor, power ups, biomes and 4 levels of difficulty per biome, we expect the Early Access version of the game to provide anywhere from 10-25 hours of gameplay. Completionists may find they spend many more to take on Rotwood's toughest challenges.”

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

“Yes, the price of Rotwood will increase in steps during the Early Access period, as well as when the game officially launches out of Early Access.

Initially, the price has been set for the current content and playtime available in Early Access. As we continue to add value to the game throughout Early Access, we will be incrementally raising the base price at key milestones.

We want to ensure players who support the game early on get the best value, while also fairly reflecting the increased scope and content as development progresses. Rest assured we will provide ample advance notice before any price increases take effect.”

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

“Player feedback is critical to our development plans in Early Access. While we have a creative vision for the game, it is important to us that we coordinate with players to ensure that Rotwood delivers what players want from the game.

We have several ways for players to reach out to us with suggestions, feedback, and bug reports:
  • We have a feedback tool from within Rotwood. Just press F8 and send us your thoughts, bugs, and suggestions.
  • The majority of our player communication will be on our forums here:
  • Our Discord can be found here:

We also post regular status updates as well as long-term development goals throughout Early Access to keep players informed of the development team's priorities and plans for future updates.”

About This Game

The world has fallen into chaos, and it’s up to you and your friends to battle the corrupted beasts that threaten your home. Choose your weapon, upgrade your gear, sharpen your skills, and get ready to take on the frenzied foes of Rotwood!

Surviving Rotwood is no easy task. You’ll need practice, strategy, and refined combat skills to tackle the game’s toughest encounters.

Featuring rich and varied combat mechanics, play solo or co-op with up to three friends, fighting increasingly challenging encounters as you battle your way through 7 unique locations.

Complex and Rewarding Combat

Rotwood focuses on combat mastery and gear progression to defeat enemies that you once thought impossible.

Pick your target carefully and sharpen your skills as you face increasingly difficult encounters. Battle your way through deceptively vicious rots in search of your true foe, a powerful, corrupted boss battle that will put your abilities to the test.

Experiment with various gear combinations and refine and perfect your build to best make use of these strange powers. However, true success comes from skill, adaptability, and strategy.

Diverse Weapons and Combat Styles

Button mashing and decent gear will only get you so far. Practice and perfect combo attacks for each weapon type to reach your destructive potential. Discover and upgrade different weapons and armor to further enhance your combat effectiveness.

Master a variety of weapons or specialize in the one that suits you best. Each weapon type offers its own distinct combat style and benefits. Get in close to smash, slam, pierce, or hang back and blast your foes from a distance.

Face Powerful Bosses

Boss fights are not just a test of strength but also a test of skill. Each boss has unique attack patterns and mechanics, requiring careful analysis of their weaknesses and precise mastery of your weapons to tackle Rotwood's toughest foes. Victory grants you unique loot required to face ever-increasing challenges as you progress through the game!

A New Hunt - A Better Hunter.

While every run offers different powers and abilities, progression is built on skill and mastery rather than randomness. Through practice and proficiency, you’ll learn to take down increasingly formidable foes more effectively with greater efficiency and precision.

The challenges ahead may be unpredictable, but your fate is not. While Rotwood has elements of randomness, true mastery comes from skill, adaptability, and precise execution, not luck.
