Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The goal is to develop the game further through close collaboration with players. Feedback gathered during the Early Access phase will be carefully considered to guide improvements and help shape new features. Input from the community will play a key role in refining the game’s systems and enhancing the overall experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While it is difficult to determine an exact end date, the Early Access period is currently expected to last around 6 to 12 months. The development timeline may be adjusted based on internal testing and player feedback, with ongoing improvements and content expansion planned prior to the full release.”

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

“The current Early Access version includes core systems and key content, allowing players to experience the full gameplay loop. The full release is planned to offer increased content variety and quantity, with some systems being further refined. Additional areas, new enemy types, in-game events, and crafting elements are planned to expand gameplay depth. However, future features and update schedules may be adjusted based on development progress and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes major features such as combat, exploration, crafting, resource gathering and production, character progression, warfare, and diplomacy systems. The entire game world is open for exploration, and additional locations or elements may be introduced through future updates. The game contains hundreds of items, including weapons, armor, resources, and crafting materials, which players can discover, craft, or purchase from shops. The core gameplay loop is functioning as intended, and ongoing improvements in stability, balance, and content are planned.”

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

“As the game evolves, prices may increase. Therefore, purchasing the game during the early access period might be more cost-effective.”

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

“Community engagement will be actively encouraged. Feedback will be collected through forums, social media, and in-game systems, and used to guide improvements. Communication with the community will help prioritize features and shape development, while key progress will be shared transparently to build trust.”

About This Game

Game Introduction

‘Beggar to Emperor’ is a strategic simulation RPG set in the fictional medieval continent of Legia, where you begin as a penniless beggar and shape your own destiny through countless choices and experiences.
You start at the very bottom of society with nothing, but your future is entirely up to you.
Rise through the social ranks—become a laborer, merchant, thief, vigilante, priest, knight, noble, or even royalty—gathering wealth and influence through your own path.
And ultimately, you may unify the continent and ascend to the throne as Emperor.

Structure of Power and Organizations

Each organization features multiple paths to promotion: earn merit, buy your way up, win honor through formal duels, or seize power by force.
To become the leader of an organization, you may be elected through a vote or claim the position by overthrowing the current head.
However you choose to climb, every action carries its own consequences.

Army Development and Warfare

Recruit and train your own army through a wide range of methods, and develop it in any direction you see fit.
Assemble talented individuals, train them into elite units, and lead them into battle.
Your army's strength will influence not only the outcome of war, but also the balance of political and diplomatic power across the continent.

Gathering, Production, and Economic Activity

Engage in resource collection activities such as logging, fishing, farming, mining, and hunting to gather materials.
These resources can sustain your livelihood or fuel trade and commerce, allowing you to accumulate vast wealth.
Alternatively, you can pursue unorthodox methods such as begging or theft—all paths are valid means of economic activity, and each leads to your own form of growth.

Exploration, Social Interaction, and Life Choices

Explore every corner of Legia to uncover hidden treasures, mysterious ruins, and unique locations.
Meet countless characters, form alliances or rivalries, and lead your forces into war or politics.
You may marry into nobility to pursue greater ambitions, or live freely as a wandering adventurer.
Every experience and consequence is driven by your choices.
Reflecting the life of a medieval citizen, the game also includes systems like taxes, arrest by vigilantes, imprisonment, and bail.

Write Your Own Story

‘Beggar to Emperor’ is a unique journey where you build your own army, pursue any path you desire, and freely write your own story.
Live the Middle Ages your way—the choice is always yours.
