Why Early Access?

“We decided for an Early Access to have flexibility to make meaningful improvements to the game (especially the combat and balancing) while taking community feedback. During this time, we plan to refine and expand the combat system, revisit certain areas, and introduce changes that improve the overall gameplay experience and polish.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently anticipate remaining in Early Access for approximately three months. However, this timeline may be adjusted based on development progress and community feedback, as our priority is to ensure the game is ready for its full release.”
