Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“To get constant feedback and to continue developing the game in close collaboration with the players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I estimate 8 to 12 months, but it depends on the feedback I get from players so it's subject to change.”

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

“Full version will include more content of all kinds: Hero Classes, Minions, items, relics, environments, game modes, etc...
Combat mechanics may be adjusted a bit over time, but not much, I already experimented with it a lot (with constant feedback from testers) and I believe the current version is close to final.

GUI and tutorial will be re-done almost entirely. Everything else like environments, visual effects, sound and music will be greatly improved.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The full game loop is already playable, minor bugs and glitches come up once in a while but I usually fix them quickly.
Current content:
  • 12 Playable Hero Classes
  • 26 Hero Items
  • 20 Relics
  • 27 Minions
  • 118 Skills
Enough for many hours of gameplay and experimenting with different builds.
Whenever you win a run you can increase the maximum difficulty, up to infinity, so if you like to challenge yourself you can go on for a while.

The GUI is perfectly functional, but ugly. Making it more aesthethic is one of the main priorities right now. But everything has tooltips, there are detailed screens for calculating damage and such, you will find everything you need.

Landscapes are far too simple right now, I'll add more detail into them over time.”

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

“The price will be slightly higher at full release.”

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

“Currently, with most testers I'm in contact privately. But I'm hoping most people will come into the discord channel so we can discuss everything as a group instead.
I'm open to feedback in any form, but I'm thinking about implementing tools like in-game reports and surveys too.
I plan to release updates every one or two weeks and pay close attention to how players react to it.”
