What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We're launching KOTA in Early Access because we believe in building this game alongside our community. As an indie title, we want to take the time to refine every aspect of the game, from gameplay mechanics to storytelling, and the feedback from our players is crucial in shaping its final form. Early Access allows you to experience KOTA while it’s still evolving, and gives you the chance to directly influence its development. Your support helps us create a more polished, immersive experience with regular updates, new features, and improvements based on your feedback. Join us on this epic journey through the apocalypse – together, we’ll shape the future of KOTA”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that KOTA will be in Early Access for approximately 12 to 18 months. During this time, we will continue to refine gameplay, expand the story, and introduce new features based on player feedback. As an indie game, we want to make sure every aspect of the game is polished and engaging before the final release. While we don’t have an exact date yet, our goal is to deliver a fully immersive and epic experience that meets the expectations of our community. We’ll keep you updated on our progress throughout the development process.”

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

“The main difference between the Early Access version of KOTA and the final release will be the ongoing development and expansion of key features. In Early Access, players can experience the core mechanics, some areas of the story, and early game content. As we continue to refine KOTA, we plan to introduce more diverse environments, deeper storytelling, additional character progression, and more polished gameplay mechanics. We are also looking to implement player-driven feedback to enhance balance and performance. We plan to deliver a more complete and immersive experience in the final version, with a well-developed game world and carefully implemented features to ensure cohesion and quality. While there are still a lot of exciting things to come, we want to make sure that each addition is carefully crafted and aligns with the vision we have for the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Knights of the Apocalypse is fully playable and offers an immersive experience with key mechanics that will define the final version of the game. Players can expect a deep journey through a vast, dark open world filled with mysteries, challenges, and formidable enemies.

Current Early Access Content:

Expansive Open World: Explore a vast medieval landscape where danger and darkness lurk around every corner. The world is filled with unique areas such as ruined villages, ancient fortresses, and towering castles, offering a diverse range of locations to discover and challenges to overcome. Every corner of the world hides secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Strategic Combat with Medieval Weapons: Face a variety of enemies using different combat styles with a wide range of weapons and tactics. The combat system requires planning, strategy, and adaptation, with each battle offering a unique challenge. Players can choose from quick sword attacks, powerful blows with war axes, and ranged combat with bows and other classic weapons, customizing their approach for each encounter.

Character Progression: The game features multiple skill trees and progression systems, allowing players to customize their characters according to their preferred playstyle. Unlock new abilities, master powerful spells, and evolve your combat skills to face increasingly dangerous enemies. The progression system is designed to give players the freedom to craft their ideal hero.

Ongoing Story and Quests: While the main storyline is still under development, there is already an engaging narrative that guides players through their journey. Additionally, a variety of side quests and optional activities enrich the experience, providing hours of exploration and challenges that deepen the game world.

Continuous Development: As part of our Early Access phase, we will continue to expand content and improve the game based on community feedback. This includes new areas to explore, more weapons and abilities, as well as a deeper, more engaging storyline.

We encourage players to refer to the “About This Game” section for a full list of currently implemented mechanics, features, and progression.

We are excited to see how players interact with the Early Access version of Knights of the Apocalypse and look forward to their contributions as we continue shaping the game. Your feedback is essential in helping us create the ultimate experience!”

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

“Yes, we do plan to adjust the price of KOTA as we move forward with development. During Early Access, we aim to offer the game at a lower price to allow early supporters to experience the game and help shape its future. As we add more content, refine mechanics, and improve the overall experience, the price will gradually increase to reflect the additional value and features added. However, we want to make sure that the final price is fair and reflects the full scope of the game once it's complete. We’ll keep the community informed about any price changes, and we’re committed to offering the best value for your support throughout Early Access.”

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

“We strongly believe that KOTA is a game that should be shaped by the community. Throughout the Early Access phase, we’ll be actively engaging with our players to gather feedback, suggestions, and insights. We plan to run regular surveys, create forums for discussion, and encourage players to share their thoughts through social media and other channels. We’ll also be holding community events, such as Q&A sessions and live streams, to keep everyone involved and updated on the development process. Your feedback will help guide the direction of the game, from balancing gameplay mechanics to expanding the story and introducing new features. We’re committed to creating an open, collaborative development environment where every player has a voice.”
