Miksi Early Access?

We want Sancticide to be the best experience possible, and Early Access allows us to shape the game alongside the community.

We’ve already seen how valuable player feedback is—our updated demo was developed entirely based on input from the community, content creators, and their audiences. This collaboration helped us refine core mechanics, improve balance, and enhance the overall experience. Now, we want to take that process even further.

Your input will directly influence the game’s evolution, ensuring that the final version delivers a deep and satisfying challenge.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We estimate that Sancticide will remain in Early Access for approximately 5 to 10 months. However, this may change depending on the complexity of player feedback and our ongoing assessment of the game’s development.

Our priority is to refine and expand the experience without rushing the process.

We plan to actively engage with the community and release regular updates to ensure the best possible game version.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The foundation of Sancticide is already in place, and we plan to expand and refine the experience throughout Early Access. Our goal is to introduce a broader arsenal of weapons and abilities, including additional melee and ranged options and new Purple Powers that could further manipulate time and reality.

We also hope to expand the apocalyptic world with new locations, new enemy types, and more varied encounters. The Kosherness system may be further developed, offering deeper consequences for player choices and interactions with NPCs.

As development progresses, we aim to fine-tune combat mechanics, balance difficulty, and refine UI elements based on community feedback. We also intend to expand the game's lore, giving players more opportunities to uncover the mysteries of the End Times.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Sancticide delivers a gripping, skill-based experience even in its Early Access form. The core gameplay loop is fully functional, offering intense melee and ranged combat with roguelite progression.

You’ll be able to explore seven distinct levels, each presenting unique challenges and encounters, with the full release expanding this number to twelve.

At the Early Access launch, players can access a limited selection of Sin Collector’s Powers and weapons—melee and ranged. The final version will feature 9 Purple Powers, 24 different melee weapons, and six types of firearms, significantly expanding combat possibilities. Similarly, while Early Access will pit you against twelve unique enemies, the complete game will raise that number to twenty-one, introducing even deadlier foes as the apocalypse unfolds.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

At this moment, we plan to offer a lower price for those who purchase the game during Early Access as both an incentive and a reward for supporting us throughout development. We anticipate increasing the price for the final version of the game.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We'll engage with you through Steam Discussions and our Community Hub, where you can share feedback, report bugs, and discuss mechanics with the team and fellow players. Our Discord server will serve as a direct line of communication with the devs and a space for deeper discussions and suggestions.

We’ll provide regular developer updates to keep everyone informed, transparently describing our work, upcoming patches, and new features. Additionally, select players may be invited to test experimental builds, giving them an early look at changes and a chance to help shape the game before it goes live.
