Wozu Early Access?

„《三国义》(Three Kingdoms: Yi) is a card-based roguelike built by a solo developer. A game like this — with deep build variety and finely-tuned balance — can only reach its full potential through real feedback from real players.

We want you in the game from day one, shaping how it evolves. Your thoughts on hero synergies, your suggestions for the Banner system, your take on event branches — all of it will directly guide future updates.

Rather than building in isolation, we'd rather forge a Three Kingdoms campaign worth playing again and again, together with you.

⚠️ Please note: The game is currently available in Simplified Chinese only. English localization is planned but not yet available. The store page is in English to share our vision, but all in-game text (UI, cards, talents) is Chinese for now.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„We expect Early Access to last 3 to 6 months, with the exact timeline adjusted based on content completeness and player feedback.

Our goal is to fully deliver the eight provinces' unique content, the complete hero roster, and the full awakening paths for custom heroes. Once the core content is live and properly balanced, we'll move into full release.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Compared to Early Access, the full version is planned to expand and polish the following:

Unlock events, factions, and boss battles across more provinces
Expand the hero card pool with heroes from additional factions
Complete every awakening path and its talent tree in the Avatar Awakening system
Add the phase-two cutscene for the Flag-Bearer boss
Flesh out the Star Chart system for longer-term meta-progression
Continuously add music, sound effects, and visual polish
Tune numerical balance and pacing based on player feedback
Some of this will roll out during Early Access; the rest will arrive with the full release and free updates that follow.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version already includes:

A complete 7-city run through one province plus Sili (events, shops, recruitment, rest stops, bosses, and more)
1 of the 8 provinces (Yizhou) open at launch, with the unlock system for the rest already in place
Nearly 50 hero cards, spanning the four factions of Shu, Wei, Wu, and the Warlords
13 status effects and core combat mechanics including attack, defense, and combos
A full Banner system: pole talents, faction banners, assembly, and swapping
Custom heroes and Avatar Awakening (with 4 awakening paths)
A Legacy inheritance system: a hero's talents can be imprinted onto their successor
A persuasion system: recruit any enemy general — bosses included
A full run is already completable end to end, averaging about 0.5–1 hour per run.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„When Early Access ends and the full version launches, we plan to raise the price modestly, in line with the added content and completeness at that time.

Players who join the campaign during Early Access will get all future content updates at a better price.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We'll involve players deeply in the game's evolution through:

Collecting feedback, bug reports, and suggestions via the Steam Community discussions
Posting regular dev logs through Steam announcements, sharing update plans and design thinking
Gathering player input before major versions go live
Watching how players approach hero synergies, talent combos, and run routes — and tuning balance and pacing accordingly
Giving great player ideas a real chance to make it into the game
We believe the best roguelike deckbuilders are forged together with their players.“
