What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“With support from players as we develop side content and unlockables, we can have a better idea what to make for those who enjoy playing the game! We’d love to make this a game where fans can play for a very, very long time while it stays engaging with varied and surprising runs!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6 months to a year.”

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

“We plan to add more unlockable side content and optional challenges, as well as working on polish and balance. Planned side content includes more “Cy-Bodies” (player characters) plus optional areas with new bosses, enemies, and hazards, among other things.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A full run is completable from start to finish using the main straightforward path, but there aren’t as many optional ways to play as we intend to have. Some aspects can currently use polish and balancing.”

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

“We plan on increasing the price as the game grows in size.”

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

“Community feedback is really important to us! We plan to use it to help balance and decide what types of things to add to the game.”

About This Game

Crescent Break is a roguelike that mixes NES-era robot hero goodness with indie classics. The game features permadeath, procedurally generated levels, and randomized abilities. The pieces of robots that you blast apart can be used and upgraded to cause chain reactions and destruction! Upgrades create interesting and over-the-top synergies that make runs chaotic and unique!

Electric upgrades that greatly transform the experience. The parts enemies are made of heal, replenish attacks, cause damage, and start chain reactions... which can all be modified in various ways through upgrades. Synergies will create ridiculous powers, sometimes in unusual ways, but you need such abilities to survive all the way through. Getting the best upgrades require knowledge of the game, luck, and skill.

We combine a large variety of retro influences into something new. Some influences include the classic MegaMan games for player movement, Nuclear Throne's "juicy" game feel, and Spelunky for creatively deadly situations that the players find themselves in.

  • Permadeath!

  • Unique attacks including swords, blasters, and explosions!

  • Game-changing upgrades and powers!

  • Destructible environments!

  • Procedurally generated levels!

  • Fun bosses that spawn in the levels alongside the enemies!

  • Tight and fluid controls!

  • Colourful pixel-art, all hand-created with detailed animations!

  • A kickass soundtrack of rock & metal mixed with retro chiptune!
