What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want to work closely with players and use their feedback to shape the future of Acid Planet. With early access I can set the expectation that the game will change significantly and frequently. I'm planning to make content updates every two weeks.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Around 6 months.”

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

“By the time the game reaches full release, I plan to add plenty of new content such as steam, achievements, side missions, playable characters, perks, and weapons. The full version will feature an ascending difficulty system for added replayability. The plan is also to add a daily challenge with a leaderboard, and I'm exploring an endless mode.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access game contains 5 of the 7 planned Kaiju hunting missions. Early access players can access 4 characters with their own loadouts and special abilities. There are more than 15 buildable structures, and more than 50 perks for players to upgrade with.”

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

“The plan is to appropriately increase the price as more and more content is added to the game, both during and after Early Access.”

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

“I plan to listen to player feedback and interact on steam forums, discord, and other channels, and make changes and additions to the game based on what players need and what they are enjoying. If you have feedback or a suggestion for the game please let me know!”

About This Game



AUTOMATED MESSAGE /// On the Acid Planet, human beings have been all but wiped out. Hordes of bio-monsters run wild and have grown to colossal size. The largest of these beasts are known as Kaiju.

You are a clone in the service of SCAV Corporation, welcome! You will conduct Kaiju salvage operations from our orbital station.

Use your automatic defense systems, personal weaponry and drones to repel the swarm until the Kaiju arrives. Your only priority is the capture of the Kaiju cores. You will be re-cloned as required. Good luck! /// END MESSAGE


BUILD THE ULTIMATE DEFENSE

Construct towers and drone factories to defend your ship from the horde. Make use of the environment - strategic placement matters. Balance weaponry and defensive structures against developing your upgrades and economy.

SURVIVE THE DESERT

Move your crew member to help your auto-shooting defenses fight back swarms of enemies. Between waves, meet the denizens of the desert in risk/reward encounters. Survive long enough and you'll face the massive boss Kaiju, each one with unique and devastating abilities.

EVOLVE TO PERFECTION

Choose a powerful new ability or upgrade after every wave. Evolve your weapons and towers into strange new forms. Use recovered Kaiju cores to boost your abilities between runs.
