What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The core gameplay loop and most key features are complete and being evaluated by beta testers. However, there are still many things to improve and balance, as well as a list of new features and content to implement based on community feedback. Listening to you, the players, is our top priority, because we want to make a game that you enjoy. After having released several games already, we know that a game's community is the most valuable resource for useful feedback, and so we strive to engage with the community as much as possible. Players can enjoy a solid and feature-rich game during this Early Access period, and continue to enjoy balance improvements and new features and content as we respond to your suggestions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate the official production release being in Q1 2025.”

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

“In short: new characters and features (robot units for automation and equipment for heroes), more upgrades to boost your heroes, quality of life updates, balance improvements, additional leaderboards and competitive content, and so much more!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All major gameplay features and the core gameplay loop are implemented. You have 48 human heroes to choose from, all with completely unique skills and synergies. We are still tinkering with the game's balance and pacing to perfect the user experience, but it is in a good enough state now to give you months of entertaining play time. We are also still working on improving the UI in various areas.”

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

“No, the game will remain free to play forever.”

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

“We have a great community on our Steam forums and Discord, both of which the developer is extremely active on. The developer will respond to nearly every player's individual feedback and will often implement suggestions that the majority of the community supports.”
