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?

“This project is ambitious for myself, and community input is vital to shaping it. Early Access allows players to experience the core gameplay across two initial realms, while giving us the chance to learn directly from feedback. By observing how players engage with the mechanics, we can refine balance, introduce new systems, and ensure that future realms and biomes feel both challenging and rewarding.

Early Access is not just a testing phase, it’s a collaborative process. Players feedback will guide how weapons, mechanics, and progression evolve, so the full release reflects what the community values most.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will remain in Early Access for around one and a half years. This timeframe will allows me to expand content, refine mechanics, and incorporate community feedback before the full release.”

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

“The full release will expand beyond the Early Access build.

- We plan to add additional realms: Early Access begins with two distinct realms, each offering unique challenges. The full version will introduce more realms with new biomes, designed and refined based on community feedback to ensure the best mechanics and progression.

- Complete Arsenal: Planned 72 weapons balanced and available, alongside new mechanics that deepen combat variety and player choice.

- Evolving Systems: As the game grows, mechanics will be adapted and expanded to reflect player input, ensuring each new contents feels fresh and rewarding.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access build includes the first two realms, each with their own environments, challenges, and progression systems. Players can access half selection of weapons from the planned arsenal, with mechanics already in place to showcase the game’s destructive combat style.

While the foundation is fully playable, balance and systems are actively being refined. Community feedback during Early Access will guide adjustments to mechanics, weapon tuning, and the design of future realms.”

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

“Yes. The Early Access version is priced lower to reflect its evolving state and to reward early supporters. As more realms, weapons, and mechanics are added, the price will increase to match the expanded content and polish of the full release.”

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

“We’ll involve players through:
- Direct feedback via Steam discussions and discord channels.
- Iterative updates that respond to balance issues, mechanic suggestions, and feature requests.
- The design of upcoming realms, biomes, and systems will be influenced by how the community plays and what they value most.”
