Why Early Access?

“Developing Extermination has been a challenging yet rewarding endeavor, and we feel that the end result can only get better with input from our players to help shape the final product.

Extermination is a high-energy action roguelike/bullet hell game infused with tower defense elements. Our aim is to deliver a distinctive and captivating experience by integrating balanced mechanics with engaging and diverse replayability.

To achieve this, we're keen to collect input from our community, which we consider essential for shaping Extermination into a game that everyone will enjoy. Understanding the value of community insights, we're launching Extermination in Early Access.

The main game mechanics are implemented, and the game is fully playable in it's current state. We are working on adding additional features, levels and a wider variety of enemies, as well as clearing up any bugs as we become aware of them. Also we will be monitoring player feedback to help correct any balance issues, as well as polishing things to make for a better user experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Anticipating Early Access to last between 6-12 months.”

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

“We plan to implement public leaderboards and achievements, also, new enemy types, new and/or improved environments for some levels, and additional abilities to choose from.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Combat mechanics are fully implemented, although there may be some changes to improve overall balance, or to implement new abilities. In-game upgrades are implemented, and there may be minor changes to improve look/feel as development continues. The pre-level research tree is fully functional, and may also be modified as needed in the future. Users may experience bugs we have yet to notice, please feel free to let us know and we'll do our best to address them in a timely manner.”

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

“No, pricing will remain the same throughout development and release.”

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

“We welcome any feedback to help refine the final product, keeping in mind some suggestions may not be feasible or outside the scope of what we intended the game to be. Comments and suggestions can be made through the steam forums, or if players prefer our discord link will be found in the forums as well.”
