Why Early Access?

“Trials Survivors is an ambitious Survivor-like hack & slash designed to deliver the thrill of battling through overwhelming hordes of monsters. We've spent a lot of time building the systems that make this vision possible, and now we’d love for you to join us on this journey.

The core experience is fully playable, with scalable endgame content and a wide variety of builds to discover. By launching in Early Access, we aim to collaborate with the community to expand the game further—adding new events, enhancing replayability, introducing new classes, spells, and evolutions—all to give you even more ways to unleash your creativity.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“All core features will be available from day one in Early Access. Our main focus is on expanding content—more enemies, classes, spells, maps and systems to deepen the experience. We expect to deliver a version that fully meets player expectations in about a year.”

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

“For the full release, we aim to deepen the game's replayability and community-driven features. One of our goals is to introduce systems that encourage player interaction, such as a form of relic trading.

We also plan to significantly expand build diversity by adding new constellation, spells, and evolution options. Additionally, we're looking to enhance existing systems with unique relics—each with powerful effects—to open up even more creative build.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Trials Survivors is fully playable and already packed with content, including:

• 5 classes
  
• 7 constellations
  
• 57 spell evolutions
  
• 2 biomes
  
• A relic merchant (who happens to be a cat)
  
• Tons of loot

We're focused on expanding this foundation with more content, systems, and ways to play—all while keeping the community closely involved.”

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

“The price may increase slightly after the full release to reflect the additional content and features added during Early Access. Any adjustments will remain fair and consistent with regional pricing guidelines.”

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

“We plan to regularly share surveys and gather feedback to help guide our development priorities. As a dedicated two-person team shaped by a love for hack & slash games, we’re committed to building a long-lasting, scalable system that runs well even on older hardware.

Community input is especially important to us—we’d love to incorporate your ideas and creative fantasies into the game. Our choice of constellations as a game theme reflects our dream of eventually including cultural myths and star patterns from around the world.

Our ideal update schedule includes frequent patches—potentially every two weeks—with larger content updates taking more time. That said, our development approach is flexible, and we aim to keep adding meaningful content throughout Early Access and beyond.”
