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?

“Dragons Invasion is already playable, but we want to use Early Access to continue improving the game with the help of the community.

In particular, we want to gather player feedback to fine-tune the balance, difficulty, characters, levels, and gameplay mechanics. Your feedback will help us identify what works, what needs improvement, and what could make the experience even more fun.

Early Access will also allow us to continue developing new content and fixing any issues players may encounter.

We want Dragons Invasion to be a better game when it reaches version 1.0 than it was at the start of Early Access, and we see our early players as true partners in this process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6 months”

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

“-More levels and alternate level paths
-More playable characters
-Improved bosses and overall game feel”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of Dragons Invasion is still in development. The game already features its core gameplay mechanics and an initial portion of its content.

We are currently preparing the Steam page and a playable demo, which will allow players to discover the gameplay, core mechanics, and world of the game.

Early Access will then allow us to gradually expand the game's content, including more levels and alternate level paths, new playable characters, as well as improvements to bosses, balancing, and the overall game feel.

The game is already playable in its current state, but several elements are still in development and will be improved before the full 1.0 release.”

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

“no”

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

“We want to involve the community throughout Early Access by listening closely to player feedback and using it to guide the game's development.

Players will be able to share their feedback, suggestions, and bug reports through the Steam Community Hub and our other community channels. We will regularly review this feedback and use it to improve gameplay, balance, difficulty, bosses, levels, and overall game feel.

We will also keep players informed about major updates and changes, and explain how community feedback has influenced the development of the game.

Our goal is to build Dragons Invasion together with the players who discover and support it during Early Access.”

About This Game

GAME OVERVIEW

Dragons Invasion is a 2D horizontal shooter, playable solo or in local co-op. Master the Dash and Color Swap — slay dragons or absorb their shots to charge your power gauge. Match their color. Unleash your power. Destroy them all. Be tough. Be skilled. Save the land.

ARCADE SPIRIT

Grab a friend. Take on a sky full of dragons. Share the glory. 2-player local co-op available at launch.

STORY

The kingdom is under attack by dragons. It's up to you to set it free! Choose one of four unlikely heroes and fight your way across the entire kingdom — from the devastated city to the haunted mines, through mysterious swamps and all the way to the castle.

HERO — THE ROOSTER KNIGHT

His blade never stops. Unleash sword volleys that evolve from a single precise strike into a devastating four-blade cross barrage.

ARROWEN — THE ARROW BREATHER

Riding her trusty owl, Arrowen strikes with deadly precision. Fire straight shots, diagonal spreads, and homing arrows. At full power, she unleashes a gigantic arrow that stretches across the entire screen.

GAMEPLAY - 3 magical colors, red, blue, green. Match the enemy color to kill it.

  • Swap Colors → autoshoot destroys enemies

  • Power Gauge (5 levels): your color halo absorbs matching fire → fills your gauge  → boosts your shots. Get hit → gauge and powers drop

  • Dash: multidirectional agility skill

  • Piercing Attack: hits in front of you during a dash (hits all enemies, even colorless)

  • Roll: invincible move ending with a finishing strike (hits all enemies, even colorless)

  • Invocation: A priest gives you a scroll that lets you summon a powerful warrior spirit for a devastating attack.

  • Rewards: Defeat a boss, pick one of three items to power up your current run: faster movement, quicker attacks, raw power, and more.
