Why Early Access?

“We think every game is an experience. As game designers and developers, we can show some patterns but the player completes them, because most of the experience is defined by the player. We want to orient our development and mindset by listening to the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We can't say how long Early Access will take. When the game has good results, our vision is to release it. If everything works as planned, we expect Early Access to finish around early 1Q2025, but it can be delayed.”

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

“We plan to expand and improve the strategic/tactical artificial intelligence of enemy groups and enemy individuals. We also plan to integrate a map editor.
The main differences will be in the secondary features: rewards and achievements, even more maps, more game modes, and other features planned for the full version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Retaliation Path of Kingdoms is currently focused on the core gameplay, but we still have a few polishes to make on the core loop, especially in strategic/tactical management. We'll try not to release any game-breaking bugs, but the players can expect to find a few bugs while new features are being implemented. See the "About This Game" section for more information about what features are implemented so far.”

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

“No, we don't plan any change in the price.”

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

“The feedback from the community is important to improve the overall experience. We plan to analyze game plays, provide forms to collect data from the community and receive feedback on the players' bugs and bad experiences while trying to play our game. You can talk to us using the Steam Community Hub or our Website. The forms can be found on the community hub, our site, and inside the game. If you want to follow our progress, our social media will have everything you want to know.”
