Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Valkyrie Raid is built as a deep, evolving combat experience. We want to ship a solid, playable foundation — and grow it together with the community.

Early player feedback on balance, pacing, and encounter design will directly shape how each Tier evolves. This is the kind of game that becomes stronger when real players push it to its limits.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Valkyrie Raid to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months, depending on development progress and community feedback.”

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

“The Early Access version launches with the first 4 Tiers of content. We plan to expand the game to all 10 Tiers, introducing new enemy types, boss encounters, weapons, and ground units, along with deeper Avionics Tech Tree progression.

We also plan to add additional pilots, expanded stage variety, and quality-of-life improvements based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay systems are complete — including hybrid CAS combat, ground unit command, the roguelite node map, the Avionics Tech Tree, and supply depot progression.

Tiers 1 through 4 are fully playable, featuring a complete loop of combat, boss encounters, and progression. Later Tiers are in active development.”

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

“The game is priced lower during Early Access. We plan to raise the price when we transition to full release, reflecting the additional content and features added over time. Players who support the game early will get the best value.”

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

“We will actively gather feedback through Steam Community discussions, update logs, and player behavior.

Player input on difficulty, balance, and encounter design will directly influence development priorities.

We plan to share regular development updates to keep the community involved throughout Early Access.”
