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?

“We have chosen the Early Access model to address our team's lack of experience in game development. Additionally, we noticed that many indie games adopt this approach. We want to ensure sufficient time for the official release while also listening to feedback from the community.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the Early Access phase to last approximately one year.

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

“In our plans, we aim to provide players with more interesting designs in the full version compared to the Early Access version, such as new equipment, new monsters, more levels, new classes, and improved artwork.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the launch of the Early Access version, a complete main story will be provided—offering over 10 hours of gameplay. The main story is divided into three chapters, with each chapter containing three sub-sections (e.g., 1-1, 1-2, 1-3). These sub-sections feature encounters such as battles, events, Shrines of Resurrection, elite enemies, and boss fights. We have designed 50 different types of monsters (including elites and bosses) and 180 different equipment items. For meta-progression, we have implemented a Blacksmith system, allowing you to enhance your favorite gear or socket gems into your equipment, enabling you to craft the ideal gear setup.”

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

“The game's price will be raised after the Early Access period.

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

“We will provide an email address and QQ group number on the game's main interface to gather feedback from our players. On a weekly basis, we will collectively review suggestions received through these two channels and publish announcements on Steam to communicate with the community, informing them about the updates we plan to implement based on the adopted feedback. The player community can also provide suggestions through the review section on the store page, to which we will actively respond. The player IDs of those whose suggestions are adopted will be added to our credits list.

About This Game

Are you ready to set off on an adventure?

In <<Eastern Odyssey : Homeward>>, you play as a vengeful Prince. Assemble a mercenary company loyal only to you, advance toward the throne that is rightfully yours, and ultimately defeat the evil forces to save your kingdom.

Game Background

Eighteen years ago, your father, the Emperor, was slain by the Sorcerer Clan that crawled out from the depths. To seize control of the Zhaochu Empire, they installed your younger brother as the puppet Emperor. You, then a mere three-year-old, were smuggled to the empire's most remote borderland, Nan Zhou, under the protection of your late father's most loyal retainers.

Now, the empire is in ruins, with the people living in misery and the land scarred by war. The Sorcerer Clan cares nothing for the lives of the deceased humans.

Today, you will no longer be a pawn of the Sorcerer Clan. Raise the banner of righteousness, O Prince! Lead your army east on a crusade, and strike straight at the heart of the enemy!

Loot & Equipment

In <<Eastern Odyssey : Homeward>>, equipment of different rarities comes with varying numbers of affixes and gem sockets. Special set items grant powerful bonuses when multiple are equipped on a single character. Collect more gear to make your mercenaries even stronger!

Varied Classes

At the launch of the Early Access version, the game will feature 4 base classes and 8 advanced subclasses, with each class having two distinct specializations that offer unique playstyles. Assemble a quality four-member squad and build the team that best suits your preferences!

Permadeath & Character Development

In this game, character death is permanent, and the unit will be lost forever—unless you send them back to the base at the end of each chapter's overworld map. We believe this adds a layer of strategic depth and forces players to make thoughtful decisions.

Every character in Return to Dongzhou has considerable depth for randomized development, and the eight equipment slots will allow players to fully unleash their creativity in building their heroes.
