Why Early Access?

“As with most games in the Bullet-Heaven/Survivor-like genre, getting the community involved is vital to ensure Swarmcade is a good as it can be at launch. It will hopefully allow for a lot more player feedback, which is crucial for ensuring balance and fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Update: Estimating until early 2024, but this will be dependent on any unforeseen roadblocks and other circumstances.”

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

“For version 1.0, we're aiming for it to feature more characters, stages and ultimate weapons.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“UPDATE: Most of the major gameplay systems and mechanics are in place and everything is functioning largely bug free. Four stages can be played until completion, the persistent upgrades are mostly complete, and a good amount of the launch heroes, weapons and items are implemented. It will take many hours to max out the current upgrades and unlock all the achievements and characters.”

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

“The price will be slightly higher at full launch, to reflect an increased amount of features implemented though early access.”
