Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Empyrean Defense is already fully playable, but there’s a lot of depth, balance, and long term progression that I want to shape together with players. Early Access lets me gather real feedback on unit balance, mission difficulty, new site interactions, economy pacing, and overall campaign flow while I continue expanding the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Empyrean Defense is planned to remain in Early Access for approximately 9–12 months. This timeframe allows me to add new missions, refine balance, expand the skill and site systems, and polish the full campaign experience based on player feedback.”

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

“We plan to expand Empyrean Defense with additional missions, enemy types, player abilities, sites, and overall progression systems. We also intend to refine balance, improve AI behaviors, add more quality of life features, and polish the overall presentation based on player feedback. Our goal is for the full version to offer a larger campaign, more strategic options, and a more complete end to end experience compared to Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version contains the core gameplay experience, including the opening regions of the campaign, a variety of enemy types, several player sites and abilities, and all essential systems such as power management, economy, upgrades, inventory, and progression. The game is fully playable and stable, but still in active development. Some content, balance, visual polish, and quality of life features are still being refined and expanded during Early Access.”

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

“It will be priced a little bit higher after early access”

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

“I already set up the Playtest and would love to hear more player feedback during this process ”
