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?

“I believe Early Access is the best way to grow Hunter’s Hand into the tactical, replayable, and deeply atmospheric roguelike it’s meant to be. Player feedback is core to my design philosophy, and Early Access allows me to collaborate closely with the community as I expand content, balance mechanics, and refine every aspect of gameplay.
”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I anticipate remaining in Early Access for approximately 12 to 18 months, depending on community feedback, feature development, and content creation progress. However, I’ll remain flexible to ensure quality and completeness come first.”

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

“I plan to will expand significantly upon the current demo. Plans include:

Two additional fully playable characters (with unique card pools, subclasses, and mechanics)

Two new biomes and Ancients (bosses), each with environmental effects

Dozens of new enemies, encounters, and narrative clues

Expanded relic and subclass systems

Deeper rogue-like progression and unlock paths

Fully polished visuals, animations, and sound design

Accessibility features and controller/touch optimizations

My goal is to evolve the game into a rich and varied experience without compromising on balance, pacing, or theme.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access build includes:

One playable character: the Radiant Defender

Over 100 cards, multiple subclasses, and unique relic synergies

The Forest biome with hand-crafted encounters and one Ancient: The Black She-Goat

Procedural maps, status effects, and enemy variations

Early versions of relics, status systems, and challenges

Placeholder animations, artwork and effects in some areas, with core systems functional and polished

The game is playable from start to end of a run, and systems are actively refined based on feedback.”

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

“Yes. I plan to gradually raise the price as new content, characters, and systems are added. The Early Access price reflects the current scope and will increase over time as the game grows toward its full release.”

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

“Community feedback is essential. Players can:

  • Join the Hunter’s Hand Discord to report bugs, share ideas, and vote in feature polls
  • Participate in card design contests and suggest balance changes
  • Playtest and leave comments on our devlog updates via Itch.io and Steam
  • Help shape the lore and narrative through feedback on story clues and worldbuilding
  • I regularly post behind-the-scenes updates, respond directly to suggestions, and prioritize the changes most requested by players.

About This Game

Hunter’s Hand is a turn-based tactical roguelike deckbuilder set in a dark fantasy world slowly coming apart at the seams.

As a hunter you travel across corrupted lands, uncovering clues and building a deck capable of confronting the ancient forces stirring beneath the surface. Each run unfolds across branching paths filled with combat encounters, strange events, and relics that reshape your strategy.

Rising Threat draws the attention of something far older than the lands you walk through.

Tactical Combat

Every action matters.

Hunter’s Hand is built around deliberate, combo-driven combat where the order of your cards can determine survival. Manage your resources, chain abilities together, and adapt your deck to survive increasingly dangerous encounters.

Dynamic Deckbuilding

Build your deck during each run using a wide pool of cards and relics.

New combinations emerge as you experiment with different strategies, allowing each playthrough to evolve in unexpected ways.

Branching Exploration

Travel across procedurally generated maps where every path presents different risks and opportunities. Choose carefully between battles, events, and hidden encounters as you prepare for what lies ahead.

The Threat System

Clues discovered during your journey increase the world’s Threat level.

Push too far and the Ancient will reveal itself.

When it does, you must be ready.

Dark Fantasy World

Explore corrupted regions where ancient forces have begun to seep into the world. Each biome introduces new enemies, relics, and challenges as the hunt grows more dangerous.

Planned Features

  • Multiple playable classes and subclasses

  • Large card and relic pools with evolving strategies

  • Several biomes with unique enemies and events

  • Multiple Ancient boss encounters

  • Meta progression and unlockable content

  • Higher difficulty modes

  • Daily runs and challenges
