What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I am developing 'Last Ascender' as a solo indie developer, and I believe that player feedback is the most crucial element in refining the game's core loop and deckbuilding balance. Early Access allows me to grow the game alongside the community, ensuring that the final product delivers the best strategic depth and gameplay experience possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I anticipate that 'Last Ascender' will be in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. This period may be adjusted based on the development progress and the feedback I receive from the community, as my priority is to ensure a polished and balanced experience for the final release.”

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

“For the full release, we plan to introduce three new character classes, each featuring nine unique artifacts to enrich strategic diversity. We also plan to expand the game with more events, additional enemy special abilities, and refined deckbuilding mechanics. Throughout Early Access, we intend to prioritize balancing these artifacts, improving UI/UX, and enhancing visual assets based on community feedback to ensure a more polished and engaging experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of 'Last Ascender' features a fully playable core experience, including three unique character classes, over 100 artifacts for deckbuilding, 5 main chapters plus 1 hidden chapter, and 10 distinct difficulty levels. Players can explore the main world and master the roguelike deckbuilding progression, where enemies adapt with special abilities based on the difficulty level. While the core gameplay is polished and ready to play, we are continuously refining balance, UI/UX, and adding more content based on community feedback.”

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

“We plan to gradually increase the price of 'Last Ascender' as we introduce significant new content, features, and overall polish throughout the Early Access period. The final release price will reflect the expanded scope and added value of the complete game.”

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

“We will primarily use the Steam Community Hub and our official Discord server as our main channels for gathering player feedback, bug reports, and suggestions. We plan to actively engage with our players through these platforms to discuss balance, share updates, and conduct polls to shape the game's future. We encourage all players to join the conversation and share their thoughts; your feedback is invaluable to the development of 'Last Ascender'.”
