What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I decided to release Path of Achra as early access to benefit from player feedback, to keep the game balanced and create an even better final version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Version 1.0 will launch May 7th 2024”

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

“I plan the following features:
  • More enemies
  • More items
  • More powers
  • More starting options
  • More steam achievements
  • UI / usability improvements

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access is fully playable and stable. It features:
  • 19+ cultures / 19+ classes / 19+ religions (end goal 24 each) to unlock and choose from; 1,000+ possible combinations for initial character creation
  • 80+ elemental powers to learn and customize your character with
  • 100+ unique items that can be found in the world, all with unique traits / effects
  • 100+ different enemies to encounter, all with unique traits and resistances
  • 50+ "prestige" classes that the player can transform into mid-game if they grow strong enough in a certain element
  • A full map to vanquish, randomly generated, culminating in the Obelisk
  • A second post-game map for the truly powerful...the void beckons...
  • A "Maqbara" graveyard that saves the most powerful characters and lets you play in the endless Path of Dust
  • An in-game "Feats" screen that shows various achievements, with lots of lore

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

“No”

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

“I can say that Path of Achra is probably for you if you've ever looked at a poster of an oiled-up barbarian with a huge sword fighting a wizard that's riding a wooly mammoth and thought "hell yeah."”
