What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I’m using Early Access to refine the balance, add more content, and improve it with community feedback. The game is large with many stories to write, and the writing is the main bottleneck.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal is to have version 1.0 out within 12 months.”

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

“I plan to expand the game’s overall scope by adding more content, improving systems, and offering additional ways to play. This may include new maps, more items, expanded card sets, and different playstyles. These are planned additions, not guaranteed features, as development may evolve based on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay loop is complete and fully playable. Players can build decks, fight enemies, explore maps, and progress through the main systems. However, I plan to continue adding more maps, cards, weapons, and quality-of-life improvements during Early Access.”

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

“The game’s price won’t change after Early Access, and it contains no microtransactions.”

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

“I’ll use player feedback from Steam discussions and reviews to guide updates. If players want a Discord or other community hub, I’ll create it.”

💀 Darkrise: War of the Undead

Darkrise is a dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilder RPG with permadeath survival, set in a dying world where medieval races and the undead clash for dominance.

Features

Craft gear, build your deck, unlock skills and shape every run through hard choices.
Hunt for hide and milk, turn them into cheese and leather, then craft survival food and gear, or sell them.
Choices during a run influence encounters, rewards, and risks, creating varied outcomes.
Each death teaches you more about enemies, cards, and risks, perhaps knowledge that can help you survive longer in your next run.
Almost no one is safe, even merchants can be slain for loot.

In the Darkrise era, survival demands knowledge, planning, and respect for death itself.
