What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want to make a fun and replayable tower defense game. By taking Repel the Rifts to early access, I can make sure that the game will be the best it can be by involving the people who care most about it being a great game — the players. I'm excited to continue to add more towers, more artifacts and additional game modes!
”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Potentially 0.5 to 1 year.”

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

“More content:
- 4 additional towers planned
- More artifacts
- More tower upgrades (specifically, a system of mutually exclusive upgrade cards)

More game modes:
- Chaos Mode
- Build Your Own Commander Mode
- Daily Challenge

More game features:
- Mechanics and/or features tied to biomes
- Events system (player-driven risks for additional rewards)
- Full controller support”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It’s the same as the demo version, but with Endless Mode, 4 commanders, more artifacts, and full access to the mastery tree.”

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

“We're not sure yet, but we may increase the price closer to the 1.0 release, depending on the amount of content added throughout Early Access. If we do, we'll let our community know through a Steam post and on our Discord server.”

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

“We really value community feedback and will keep improving the game based on it, either on Steam or Discord.”
