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?

“Ballistic Brews is fully playable today, and we want to shape the rest of its development together with players. Early Access lets us test balance, game feel and new content with the community and act on feedback quickly, instead of guessing on our own.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Ballistic Brews to be in Early Access for around six months. This may change depending on player feedback and how development goes. We would rather take extra time than leave Early Access before the game is ready.”

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

“We plan to grow the game based on what players enjoy most and what they ask for. Our current plans include:
- More vehicles, weapons and items, opening up new builds and strategies
- New enemies, elites and boss encounters
- Options for longer runs, which players have asked for
- More challenges and endgame content for veteran players
- Steam Achievements
- Ongoing balance, polish and performance improvements
These plans may change as we learn from the community during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is a complete, replayable run-based game with 15 vehicles, 30+ weapons across three weapon slots, 100+ items, 15 waves with bosses and elite enemies, 5 difficulty levels and an endgame challenge mode. Runs take under 25 minutes. The game supports controllers and Steam Deck and is playable in 10 languages. Expect ongoing balance changes, polish and bug fixes during Early Access.”

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

“We plan to keep the price the same throughout Early Access. As more content and features are added, the price may increase when the game leaves Early Access.”

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

“We read Steam reviews and discussions, and the game includes an in-game feedback survey. Player feedback directly shapes our balance changes and what we build next. Every update comes with patch notes, and we share our plans through Steam announcements.”
