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?

“Paper Strike is built around competitive gameplay, balance, and player-driven strategy.

We are using Early Access to:

gather player feedback
refine gameplay balance
improve clarity and game feel
expand content based on community input

We are committed to actively developing the game and bringing it to a full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We have not set a date for leaving Early Access. We will share a clearer timeline as development progresses and we gather feedback from players.”

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

“We plan to improve the combat, balance and feel of the game with feedback from players. We are building Paper Strike around online 3v3 matches with short rounds and different objectives. The content may change as development progresses.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Paper Strike is in development and has not yet launched on Steam. The PC 3v3 playtest is offered through a waitlist, with access after selection and invitation. This playtest is separate from the public Steam release. An earlier solo prototype featured Arin; it should not be confused with the current 3v3 playtest.”

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

“Paper Strike is currently planned as a free-to-play game. The earlier statement about a lower paid Early Access price does not reflect the current Free to Play listing.”

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

“We plan to involve the community through social networks in sharing some news and events on these. The greater the support, the higher the game's quality will be, helping it meet players’ expectations.”

About This Game



Paper Strike is a 3v3 online party arena game where you draw runes to cast magic. Two teams. Short rounds. An objective to fight over. Pick your abilities, find your opening and make it count.

Every spell starts with you

Trace a spell's rune with your mouse, finish the shape and send it into the arena. Launch Ice Barrage across the fight. Raise Earthwall and push opponents out of position.



But drawing means standing still. Physical hits can interrupt your cast. Finish the rune or move before the hit lands? That decision belongs to every fight.



Your loadout. Your way to fight. Magic, physical abilities, or both.

Build your Striker

Control a Striker, a warrior who combines weapons and magic. Arin has eight abilities arranged in four pairs. Choose one ability for each slot before the match. Bring drawn spells, instant physical actions, or a mix, and see how your choices work with your team.



3v3 online. Play the objective. A colourful paper arena.

Three players. Play the objective.

Hold the zone in King of the Hill. Break crystals in Kristal Rush. Defeat opposing Strikers in Team Deathmatch. Coordinate your movement and make space for each other.

A wall can force opponents off the point. A teammate can buy you time to finish a rune.

Win the round. Choose what comes next.

Both teams begin at the central shrine. Win the round to take control of Armageddon, the powerful spell at the heart of the match, and choose the next arena. Advance Armageddon to the opposing end of the battlefield to win the match.

A world of ink and steel

Enter a floating world of colourful arenas, living pages and Strikers trained at the Academy of Ink and Steel.

Paper Strike is in development. Add it to your wishlist to follow the road to the full game.
