What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The core magical action combat of HexWind is in good shape, and now we want to bring players and their feedback into the process of finishing the game, informing decisions about enemies, special abilities, and mission types.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our plan is for HexWind to be in Early Access until June 2025.”

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

“We plan for the full version to include many more enemies, special abilities, and mission types - built off the core magic action combat in currently present in HexWind. On top of what's in the current build, here's what we're working on for upcoming releases:
  • Story Chapter 1: Unlock the Chaos Monolith - Break open a powerful relic and bind its Chaos energy
  • Attack combos: Charge up your combo meter by chaining hits, to unlock a powerful area attack
  • Persistent upgrades: Gain health, offensive, and defensive upgrades that carry over from mission to mission
  • Lighting magic: Grapple - use your elemental power to zap around the combat arena
  • Defensive shields: protect yourself with area-based throwable magic shields
  • And many more which we'll outline in our roadmap!

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of Early Access for HexWind is that core magic action combat is in a good state, with rogue-lite ability progression, and dynamic mission generation and choices. You'll experience:
  • Wand Combat - Shoot magic charges from your wand and parry incoming attacks
  • Chaos Rift Battles: Waves of enemies are breaking through! Use the Riftsealer Codex to halt their progress.
  • Lightning Spells: Chain strike enemies, impale them, and slam them into the ground
  • Character Progression v1: Upgrade your core stats and abilities
  • Blessings: choose which buffs to take into each encounter to improve your chances of success

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

“The price will not change when we leave early access.”

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

“We want to hear your thoughts here on Steam and on our Discord server! Community feedback will inform some future content decisions in our development roadmap.”
