Why Early Access?

“AI Uprising is being developed with the community in mind. Early Access allows us to gather player feedback, balance gameplay, and expand features based on how people actually play and enjoy the game. We want to fine-tune difficulty, pacing, and progression together with the players who love wave shooters, ensuring the final experience feels polished, challenging, and rewarding.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is for Early Access to last around a few months, but we’ll take the time needed to make sure the core experience feels complete and stable before the full release. The duration may adjust depending on player feedback and development progress.”

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

“The full version will expand on the foundation of the Early Access release, we plan to:

New weapons and upgrades.

Additional difficulty tiers (Medium, Hard, and Endless modes).

Hero customization with unique abilities (e.g., freezing enemies, boosting weapon power, etc.).

Leaderboard rewards and achievement systems.

New forms of competition, including time-based challenges in addition to score-based ones.

These additions aim to provide deeper progression, replayability, and player expression.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes all core gameplay systems:

3D third-person shooting with automatic fire.

Progressive enemy waves up to 200 units.

Six upgradable weapons and three chest types (Ammo, Life, Weapon).

Three enemy types (Soldier, Elite, Boss).

Global and Alliance leaderboards with daily, weekly, and monthly rankings.

Full progression and reward loops.

It’s a complete and fully playable experience, serving as the foundation for future expansions.”

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

“We don't plan to change the price when we leave early access”
