Coming Soon To Early Access

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

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“AMEN: MAYHEM already has its core combat and gameplay systems in place, but we want to expand and refine the game with player feedback. Early Access gives us the opportunity to improve balance, polish existing systems, and develop additional characters, weapons, modes, and content over the course of Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect AMEN: MAYHEM to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. This timeframe may change depending on development progress and player feedback.”

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

“For the full version, we plan to expand the selection of characters and weapons, add more game modes and content, further develop the single-player experience, and continue refining balance, polish, and optimization. The exact scope may evolve during Early Access based on development progress and community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access build includes the core combat system, playable characters and weapons, single-player gameplay with bots, and online multiplayer. Some areas are still limited in scope and will continue to receive balance adjustments, bug fixes, optimization, and additional content throughout Early Access.”

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

“We plan to offer AMEN: MAYHEM at a lower price during Early Access. The price may increase as the game receives significant new content and features, and may be adjusted again when the game leaves Early Access.”

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

“We plan to gather feedback through Steam Discussions and other community channels, with particular attention to bug reports, balance, weapons, characters, game modes, and overall gameplay. Community feedback will help us identify issues, evaluate existing systems, and decide where further improvements may be most useful during Early Access.”

About This Game

I wanted to make a game where players just kill each other. Fast, bloody, no long setup.

It started with the deathmatches in Nox, the old Westwood game from 2000. Small arena, a few people, spells and swords flying everywhere, someone always dying in some stupid way. AMEN: MAYHEM is my take on that, with pixel art and a lot more blood.

Up to 12 players per match. Bots fill the empty slots, so you can jump in right away. Official servers are built in, no extra account needed. When someone dies, their gear drops and anyone can grab it.

There's a lot of gore. Heads and limbs come off. You can tone it down or turn it off in the settings.

My friends helped a lot with the multiplayer. Server work is my day job, so I was able to set up and run the official servers myself. Any feedback on the Steam forums really helps.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

AMEN: MAYHEM contains frequent stylized pixel-art violence, blood, and gore, including dismemberment, body parts, corpses, and explosions. Characters can kill one another using melee weapons, magic, and other destructive equipment. The game also features self-destructive equipment capable of killing the player's own character. Gore can be reduced or disabled in the game settings.
