What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access would allow us to release the current stable playable build of the game for our audience while continuing to develop and complete our planned features and gather feedback. It would also help to reduce the stress of rushing to meet such a hard deadline for our additional features and allow us to give them the time and attention they deserve. We would benefit from having more time to promote our game here on steam through regular content updates as we reach each of our final development goals.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately one year.”

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

“The full version of the game would differ as it would include multiple additional game modes, Player character customization, an in-game economy which would allow players to trade in their earned points for unlockable customization options.
Custom mode is designed to allow players to change the length of each game round, how long the rounds should last, and works as a "best of" mode, rather than the standard gameplay in the early access version which is an elimination mode, removing a player each round until only one player remains. The full version would also include more variance to gameplay, with the inclusion of special effects objects and draw breaker rounds.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is playable, it has been thoroughly tested and is a stable build. It contains the core gameplay mode of "BattleMode" which is a 2-4 person elimination mode in which the lowest scoring player is removed each round until only one remains. Players can securely play through the entire game loop”

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

“We do plan to slightly increase the price as we ship new content and features, but we plan to price the game fairly and in line with Steam's guidelines and documentation. We want our early access players to feel that they have picked up our game at a good time, and we're excited to bring them new features and content at a price that also recognizes their loyalty and trust in us as developers.”

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

“We have a number of social media outlets (Instagram, twitter, youtube, a website that is under construction and Steam News Hub) That we regularly update with announcements, competitions, giveaways. We also regularly attend conventions around the country and promote our game, talk to players, collect feedback and engage with our player base. We plan on building on that through early access, in allowing new and existing players to try out the early access version and directly influence the future of the project through their feedback and engagement.”

About This Game


Welcome to BattleClaws, a thrilling local multiplayer claw 'em up that pits you against your friends in an intense mechanical showdown!
Prepare for chaotic fun as you race against the clock to outscore your rivals in a party game that will challenge your skills and test your friendships.

Multiple Game Modes:

Battle Mode: Elimination is the name of the game. Each round, the player with the lowest score is knocked out. Only the sharpest claw will survive until the end!
Custom Mode: Create your own tournament rules. No eliminations here, but whoever wins the most rounds is crowned champion.

Game Changing Power-Ups

Turn the tide of battle with electrifying power-ups that can make or break your game. Snag these collectibles to unleash chaos and dominate the competition!
Speed Boost - Leave your opponents in the dust while you zip around the arena.
Double Points - Double the points, half the work.

Clawmetics!

Important Note:

BattleClaws is designed for local multiplayer action, meaning you'll need an additional controller to join the fray. Early Access Build supports one player using keyboard WASD to move and SPACE to grab/drop. Grab a friend and an extra controller to dive into the chaotic fun and experience the thrill of claw machine battles together. Whether you're facing off in Battle Mode or creating your own tournaments in Custom Mode, the more players, the merrier the mayhem!
