What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

First and the most important reason is the new possible orbs. Since adding a new orb brings lots of spells with it, I didn't want to add that much spells without getting player feedback. As more spells come in, more complicated they become, and I want to be sure that the players are going to enjoy that.

Other reasons are about adding more content outside spells. I want to add three more stages, meaning 21 new bosses. Also, I am planning new items and meta-progression mechanics, but I want to see what the players think about the game before doing so.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

My guess is 3 to 6 months. That being said, I don't think I will leave this game behind until I am satisfied with the amount of content, and currently I am far from it.

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

I plan the full version to have more stages, more orbs, tens of new enemies and items, and new bosses for the new stages.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

Currently, the game has one stage, 3 orbs, 35 spells, 13 enemy types, 7 bosses, 24 items, and meta-progression. There is also Chaos Mode, where there are maxed out spells with no cooldowns, and configurable game settings. It is a very good to practice or just to have fun.

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

Price will increase according to the content, which will increase rapidly. Buy early, save money, and have an impact in the development.

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

I will use Steam and a Discord server. I am releasing the game in early access because I want the players to have their impact on the upcoming spells, orbs, and bosses. I will do my best to be involved with the community as much as I can. You can also catch me on Reddit.

About This Game



Orbs of Chaos is a horde survivor rogue-lite, where the player chooses 3 of the 5 available orbs, and combines them in different ways to call various spells from the Chaos. Each run consists of 7 bosses (mini bosses are not included) and thousands of enemies. During the 21 minute runs, player levels up spells and buys items to be better at destroying the never ending flow of enemies.



5 available orbs means that there are 35 unique spells, and 10 unique starting orb combinations. After making your choice, you will level up quickly and become overpowered in an instant. Also, you can give your blood stained gold to the mysterious shopkeeper to become even stronger.

Orb combination mechanic:




Your torture will last approximately 21 minutes, with little time to breath. Every 3 minutes, Chaos will give birth to a new monstrosity with its own challenge. Hordes will only stop when they arrive, just to drown you when they die.



Every creature of the night will be vulnerable towards a specific orb, and some types will be easier to kill with different spells. A lot to keep in mind but don't worry, there are guides...

Current State's Features:

  • Chaos Mode: Configurable game settings/stats and maximum possible level spells (without completely breaking the game) without cooldowns. All for you to push the limits of the game, practice, and rain chaos on all that is unholy.
  • 5 unique orbs that auto-shoot. Earth Orb has knockback, Blood Orb has life steal, Soul Orb has bounce, and so on. Player chooses 3 of the orbs per run, meaning there are 10 starting possibilities.
  • 7 unique bosses.
  • 35 unique overpowered spells, with some evolving when they hit level 5.
  • 24 unique items to be stronger in a different way each run.
  • 13 unique enemy types, and they all spawn with a weakness towards an orb that the player has.
  • Music for each minute and for each boss, increasing energy/stress/anxiety constantly.
  • All hand-drawn retro pixel art. Thanks to dad for drawing almost every artwork.

    Minimum:
    • OS *: Windows 7
    • Storage: 250 MB available space
