What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We plan to use Early Access to fine tune mechanics and game balance as well as engage with players on all aspects of the game's design. Our ultimate goal is to create a strategy game that is accessible, but also challenging to master with an intriguing story and persistent collectibles. We look forward to hearing community feedback as we continue to ship new content and features.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to be in Early Access for approximately a year as we polish, balance, and add additional content and features.”

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

“We expect to add the following to the game before release:
  • The fourth and final planned era of the game, the Paladite Era.
  • Additional possible endings triggered by buildings in this final era.
  • Advanced mech units to help crush the raiders once and for all.
  • Additional points of interest variants (forest, scrap piles, sink holes, ruins, etc) to add additional variety to the game's randomly generated map.
  • Additional Minor Artifacts to collect for more lore and bonuses.
  • Additional Founder Artifacts beyond The Beacon to collect. Like The Beacon, these can be equipped at Town Halls and provide large bonuses.
  • Additional music tracks created by the game's composer, Rogue VHS.
  • Additional Steam Achievements

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can play the first 3 of 4 planned 4 eras of the game. You can also begin the task of collecting artifacts. These persistent collectibles provide in-game bonuses to help conquer higher difficulty levels, they reveal parts of the game's story, and they will later unlock a new ending. The 36 of 52 planned artifacts currently in the game will require multiple playthroughs to discover.”

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

“The price may increase at the end of Early Access when additional content and features have been added.”

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

“We will be checking the Steam forums for your thoughts on the game and any issues we might be able to help resolve. We'll also be posting updates and announcements about the game's development here on Steam as well as on various social media platforms.”
