Kommer snart till Early Access

Utvecklarna av detta spel planerar att släppa det som ett pågående arbete och utveckla det med feedback från spelare.

Obs: Spel i Early Access är inte färdiga och kan eventuellt ändras ytterligare. Om du inte är sugen på att spela det här spelet i dess nuvarande tillstånd, bör du vänta och se om spelet utvecklas vidare. Läs mer.

Vad utvecklarna har att säga:

Varför Early Access?

“The Umbral Seal's tactical boss-rush combat is complete and polished for the first 3 chapters (24 encounters, 10-20 hours). We're using Early Access to validate encounter designs and difficulty balance with real players before building the remaining chapters. Your feedback will directly shape design of future bosses, tune class balance, and refine mechanics. You're getting a complete "Act 1" experience while helping perfect the rest.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“6-12 months, depending on community feedback and the level of polish required.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The full version plans to add:
- Chapters 4-8 with additional boss encounters
- Mythic difficulty tier (up to 20-hero epic raids)
- More classes and specializations
- Additional Commander Powers
- Workshop integration to allow community to create encounters
- Story conclusion
- Balance refinements based on your feedback”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Early Access includes 3 complete chapters (12 boss encounters), 7 classes, 2 difficulty tiers (Normal/Heroic), Commander Powers and complete Act 1 story.

Initial Early Access uses AI generated assets. Revenue from Early Access will be used to hire artists to replace AI generated assets.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“Price will increase gradually as more chapters and Mythic difficulty are added. Early Access purchasers receive all updates through version 1.0 at no additional cost.

Price will be adjusted during Early Access as more content is added.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“- Active Discord server for direct feedback and discussion
- Regular development updates on Steam every 2-4 weeks
- Community input on balance, difficulty tuning, and mechanics

Community feedback will be crucial for difficulty balance, class viability, boss mechanic clarity, and which mechanics you enjoy most - this directly informs future encounter design.”

Om detta spel

THE UMBRAL SEAL brings World of Warcraft raid boss mechanics to single-player tactical combat.

Command warbands of 5-20 heroes through 30+ boss encounters designed around WoW-style mechanics—adapted for real-time-with-pause gameplay. Learn telegraphs, manage cooldowns, coordinate positioning, and execute perfect strategies.

No grinding. No filler. No scheduling. Just you, your warband, and perfectly crafted boss fights.

INSPIRED BY

  • AI-generated assets will be replaced during Early Access with commissioned art

THE STORY

Commander Thorne sealed the Umbral Tyrant 23 years ago by splitting the seal into seven pieces - one for each of the seven Orders.

But an eighth piece remained, hidden and corrupted, linking all the others like roots through soil.

Now the Blight spreads. The Orders have fallen. You must recover the seal fragments before the Tyrant breaks free.
