De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„Neon Echo is our first Roguelite game. Throughout the development process, we endeavored to incorporate many new elements and mechanics into the game, ranging from distinctive 3D scenes and character models that deviate from the conventional side-scrolling Rouguelite style, to the utility of electrionic music and the innovative “Tempo Battle” gameplay. Early Access is the best way to see whether these ideas are interesting and entertaining enough, and we are looking forward to any feedback from you. We also believe that everyone's opinions and suggestions can help us continuously improve the game and make it better.”

The current version of the Build system includes:

- Rhapsody, which can change or enhance a character's attack/skill forms with each character owning over 10+ entries
- Rhythm Launchpad, which generates a random 3*3 attribute chessboard each run

These systems can produce unexpected abilities or effects depending on the choices and combinations made!”

Va avea jocul aflat în Acces Timpuriu un preț diferit față de versiunea finală?

„As the game content gradually increases, we may raise the price of the final version—but currently, we haven't planned it out. If everything we plan can be implemented in the final version, the amount of content will be more than twice the size of the Early Access version. We also hope to provide players with a game that is worthy their pennies and entertaining enough. Any price adjustment will also be discussed with players and carefully considered before it is made.”
