Coming Soon To Early Access

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are looking to build this game with the feedback of the community. We are gamers, we love games, and we want to show as soon as possible the game that we are making, so that we can gather feedback from other passionate gamers to make it the best possible version of it. Getting the opinion of like-minded individuals will help us shape a gaming experience that achieves our vision of fulfilling the need of a modern beat'em'ups, for all the folks who really love this genre.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to get out of Early Access in about six to nine months after the early release. We have completed preproduction and production is half way. As you can see from the game trailer, the pipelines for characters and 3d environments are tested and already delivered 14 units and 6 stages. What we need to do in the future, is to scale up production to more units and stages, and balancing the gameplay stats for a polished experience, plus eventual bigfixes coming from playtests.”

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

“What differs is the scale of the gaming experience, quantifiable in the number of heroes, levels and enemies. The Early access will have 4 playable characters and one full world, which contains multiple stages, and 16 unique enemies (including bosses). All of this is already implemented. In the full version we plan to include more playable characters and more worlds, and more unique enemies (including bosses).”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We currently have 4 heroes fully implemented in the game, and also 9 enemies with their distinct graphics, lore and gameplay characteristics. The Early Access version, which is coming next year, will have the first complete game world and it will provide a polished experience, and we are only a few months away from releasing it. The production is in progress and the codebase is 95% complete. In the next few months we'll complete the first world, and complete game balancing, bugfixing, polishing and playtesting. For more details on the gameplay features, please refer to the "About this" section.”

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

“The game will be 50% discounted during early access.”

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

“We are planning to have a discord server where players can talk to the devs (us), get their hands on free beta playtests, with the possibility to fill up feedback forms and provide user interviews on what they liked and disliked about the gaming experience.
We'll also have polls for voting features and a lot of giveaways! (Steam free keys, swag, etc.)”

About This Game

The Kingdom has fallen to the Mad King, who has used forbidden magic to try resuscitate the queen. But the powers of life and death were too big to handle for him, and as a consequence, the King has lost his sanity. Slain hordes of enemies through careful button smashing! Faithful to a brawler, with the additional strategic layer of a roguelite, the destiny of the Kingdom lay upon your shoulders. Upgrade your brotherhood of heroes after each run to unlock combat skills, artifacts and heroes.

BEAT'EM'UP GAMEPLAY

Drawing inspiration from beloved classics, we've crafted a beat'em'up experience that combines old-school controls and retro feelings with innovative 3D mechanics. Each of the 4 playable characters comes with their signature combat styles, customizable stats that impact gameplay, and detailed backstories to discover. Every hero has committed a sin. They also need redemption.

ROGUELITE PROGRESSION

Unlock new heroes, attack moves, and artifacts with every run, while venturing forth in the depths of the forbidden cloister, to look for the Mad King so he can be relieved from his madness. Every run is unique, with randomized elements. Only a united brotherhood of heroes can overcome the Mad King: any damage inflicted on him persists in the same run, until all heroes are dead - or the Mad King is defeated. With each new run, all heroes are reborn, but the Mad King is also back to full health.
