What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe that the best adventures are shaped together. While the game is already fully playable with 20 handcrafted stages, a variety of weapons, skills, upgrades, weapon forging, village system, unique NPCs, and the Transcendence system, we want to take it further with your help.

Early Access allows us to gather valuable feedback on balance, difficulty, and overall fun. Your insight will guide us as we refine the core experience and expand the world.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are aiming for a full release by late 2025.
This may shift depending on the pace of development and player feedback,
but we are committed to delivering a polished and complete experience.”

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

“We plan to expand the game significantly by the time of full release. Our goals include:

  • Adding more stages and introducing an endless mode

  • Expanding the variety of weapons, monsters, and bosses

  • Creating new scouting events and additional story content

  • Implementing a tiered upgrade system with milestone-based enhancements

  • Enhancing the forge system for deeper weapon progression

  • Introducing achievement-based bonuses to increase strategic depth

Please note that these plans may evolve based on community feedback and development progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is fully playable and includes:

  • 20 handcrafted stages
  • Real-time combat with a variety of weapons and skills
  • Village system with NPC interactions and upgrade mechanics
  • Weapon forging and upgrades to enhance your stats
  • The Transcendence system for roguelite replayability

While polished, the game is still being actively balanced and expanded.”

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

“Yes.
As development progresses and more content is added, discount rates may change during Early Access.
Giving early supporters the best deal, as a thank you for joining us early.”

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

“We plan to stay actively connected with our community.
You can reach out to us via email, or leave a comment in the Steam Community discussions or the review section.
We read everything and truly value your thoughts.”
