Why Early Access?

“Hell Throne has reached a stage where it includes all the core features, an engaging gameplay loop and a good amount of content and replayability value. To better navigate further development, we believe now is the perfect time to invite players to participate and provide us with valuable feedback that will improve the gameplay experience and help us shape the game into its final form.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While it's difficult to say for certain, we're intending for the Early Access phase to last for around 12 months. This will greatly depend on the satisfaction of players with the game and all its content. We're committed to delivering a great gameplay experience and want to ensure players are happy with the game.”

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

“Throughout the Early Access we're planning to continuously add new content, specifically more bosses, enemies, upgrades, abilities, mini-games and gameplay mechanics, that will hopefully offer more variety and replayability to the existing gameplay loop.
Additionally, we're hoping to add some world building and story telling to accompany the current game features and help players better understand their place in the Hell Throne world.
Lastly, we'd like to explore the possibility of adding different game modes and fun activities that could be pursued outside of the core gameplay loop.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At this stage the game includes a main roguelite progression path, allowing players to embark on adventures filled with fast paced combat against varied enemies and bosses. During each run players grow in power by collecting some of the hundreds of upgrades and abilities, crafting a build that will allow them to defeat all the challenges.
There's currently 7 worlds to conquer, each with an increasing level of difficulty.
Additionally, each world can be replayed with addition of Affixes (game wide modifiers) that provide extra challenge and can drastically change the course of a run.
In between runs, players can equip and upgrade their loot as well as spend their talent points to improve their character and pursue their favorite playstyle.
Whole game can also be played in local co-op with up to 4 players.”

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

“While it's impossible to say for certain at this point, we will be considering a modest price increase once the game leaves Early Access. We'll update this section whenever we have any solid information on the matter.”

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

“We'll carefully consider all feedback provided by the community and incorporate as many suggestions and improvements to the game as possible. We encourage all players to join our social media channels (Discord, Twitter and Reddit) and share their experience and ideas for changes and new additions. We're planning to engage with the community in discussion and actively update them about our development plans.
Furthermore, we hope to establish a long lasting cooperation with players, content creators, and communities that share our passion for the game, creating an inclusive and enjoyable gaming experience for everyone.”
