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?

“We are launching in Early Access to develop Era Echo with players. The core loop (era building, deckbuilding, and auto-battler duels) is playable end-to-end, but balance, content volume, localization polish, and quality-of-life still need real player feedback. Early Access lets us ship frequent updates and adjust difficulty, heroes, enemies, and progression based on how people actually play.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access to last approximately 3–6 months, depending on feedback and how quickly we can ship content and polish updates. This is an estimate, not a hard promise.”

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

“Planned for full release (subject to change based on feedback): more heroes and enemies; more cards, relics, and events; deeper balance passes across difficulties; additional languages beyond English and Simplified Chinese; more audio/VFX polish; and quality-of-life / meta progression improvements. Early Access focuses on a complete run experience first, then expands content and polish toward 1.0.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Players can start a full run today: hero select, difficulty, era/development stages, deckbuilding, and duel auto-battles through a complete run loop, with meta unlocks (Epoch Points / unlock store). English and Simplified Chinese are supported. Some languages (e.g. JP / other locales) are not finished yet. Balance and content will keep changing during Early Access; saves may need migration notes when large updates land.”

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

“The Early Access price is set for the current content. We may raise the price as major content is added and again at full 1.0 release. Early Access purchasers keep the game with no extra charge when the price increases.”

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

“We will post update notes on the Steam Community Hub / News, read Steam discussions and reviews, and gather bug reports and balance feedback there. We plan regular patches and larger content updates, and we will call out breaking balance or save changes in patch notes.”

About This Game

Build a civilization. Build its history. Fight for Earth’s future.

Interstellar war nearly tore reality apart. In its place, the galaxy created Era Echo—a nine-day tournament where simulated civilizations decide the fate of entire planets.

Represent Earth, build a deck, raise a civilization across nine eras, and shape your hero one decision at a time. At the end of every era, that hero becomes an Echo: a preserved version of everything you built, earned, and sacrificed.

Then history goes to war.

Create Nine Versions of One Hero

You are not building a single final character. You are creating nine distinct moments of the same hero.

Every stat increase, Building, and Tactic changes the Echo preserved at the end of that era. Invest early to keep your first Echos competitive, or save resources to create devastating versions later in the timeline. The shape of your power curve is yours to design.

Spend Your History in Hidden-Information Duels

Each of your nine Echos can fight only once per Duel. Enemy Echos are hidden, turning every matchup into a contest of scouting, timing, or even a calculated sacrifice.

Use Reveal to uncover an enemy’s era. Risk Player Health in Winpoint battles, chase valuable Treasure battles, and decide whether to commit your strongest Echo now or save it for the fight that truly matters. Once selected, the two Echos clash in a fast auto battle shaped by the builds you created.

Build a Civilization, Not Just a Deck

Choose three of five Elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—and combine their identities into a build of your own. Place Buildings on an expandable grid, create engines through positioning and adjacency, register battle Tactics, and turn economy, growth, control, destruction, or defense into combat power.

Each hero brings unique abilities, cards, and relics, while your third Element opens new synergies every run.

Survive the Nine-Day Tournament

Every day follows a complete strategic arc: develop your run, build nine Echos across the eras, then send them into the Duel. Visit shops, open card packs, discover relics, enter unpredictable Warp events, and accept dangerous Challenges for greater rewards.

Start from the Knock Out, survive to the elimination rounds and advance to the final showdown. Earn Epoch Points, unlock new heroes, cards, and relics, and return with new ways to rewrite history.

Your Past Is Your Army

No two civilizations produce the same nine Echos. No two Duels ask for the same sacrifices. Build wisely, read the enemy, get creative — and win with who you were.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Era Echo is developed by a solo developer. Generative AI tools are used to assist with development and production (for example concepting, drafts, and iteration), which has helped make shipping a solo project practical. All shipped content is reviewed and directed by the developer.
