Why Early Access?

“We’re building a combat-focused Norse myth brawler where weight, impact, and enemy behavior matter. Early Access allows us to refine the combat feel, armor progression, enemy balance, and boss encounters with real player feedback.

We want the community to help shape difficulty tuning, progression pacing, and endgame encounters — especially the Frost King battle.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 9–12 months.

This timeline allows us to expand enemy variety, polish combat systems, add additional armor sets and customization options, and complete the full ascent campaign to the Frost King summit.”

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

“The full release is planned to include:

Expanded campaign length and additional mountain regions

More enemy types (elite Frost Giants, Hel variants, undead commanders)

Additional armor sets and unlockable costumes

New storm abilities and deeper progression systems

Fully polished Frost King final boss encounter

Improved AI behavior and combat tuning

Additional difficulty modes

Performance optimizations and visual upgrades

Early Access focuses on the core ascent arc and foundational combat systems. The full version delivers the complete experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes:

Core third-person lock-on combat system

Hammer combos, block, dash, and storm abilities

Multiple enemy types

Armor progression system

Customizable costumes

A portion of the mountain ascent campaign

The foundation is fully playable and stable, with ongoing balancing and expansion planned throughout Early Access.”

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

“Yes.

The game will be offered at a lower price during Early Access as a thank-you to early supporters. The price will increase at full release as additional content, systems, and polish are added.”

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

“We plan to involve the community through:

Regular development updates
Combat balance feedback threads
Community polls on armor designs and costume variants
Difficulty tuning feedback
Playtest feedback cycles
Patch notes transparency
Community input will directly influence combat feel, progression pacing, and overall balance.”
