What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Player feedback is the lifeblood of our development process. Through Early Access, we're excited to collaborate with our community to refine and expand the game together. Your ideas and suggestions will directly shape the evolution of this project as we work side-by-side to create the best possible experience.
As our game fully supports Steam Workshop, we are also looking forward for passionate members of our community to expand and refine the game with awesome mods.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate the Early Access period will take around 18 months.”

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

“We want to give players a complete RTS experience. Our surveys indicate (and this matches perfectly with our vision) that this includes a story-rich campaign mode, flying units, naval units, additional map biomes, additional hero items and hero activities.

We will also be improving the multiplayer component - we want our game to be the next top e-sport RTS game. So we plan to implement dedicated servers, improved anti-cheat protection, game observing and game analytics.

Please refer to our Roadmap posted below for more details!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable both singleplayer and multiplayer in several game modes:
- Classic RTS mode
- Hero mode
- RTS survival mode
- MOBA mode
All core features are implemented, like hotkey rebinds, game chat, game replays, game difficulty settings.
We also have a basic ranked 1v1 leaderboard and a basic matchmaking system.
Game also features the AI assistant - for players who are looking for an easy chill-out time.

Early Access includes about a dozen skirmish maps (up to 8 players, any team alliances configurations) and a few scenario maps.
But most importantly, the game fully supports Steam Workshop where members of the community can upload, share and download additional maps, units, game modes and even custom AI opponents and AI assistants!”

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

“Yes, we'll increase the price.”

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

“At every stage of development, we maintain a close connection with our Discord community, carefully considering all feedback shared there. With every patch and update, we listen to player input and adjust our approach accordingly.”
