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?

“Because it’s a roguelike, the game requires both a lot of content and careful balancing. Early Access allows us to get the game into players’ hands sooner, gather feedback from a larger community, and use that feedback to improve the balance, progression, and overall experience as we continue adding new content.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately one year, depending on player feedback and the development of additional content and features.”

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

“We plan to add more progression paths, expand the synergies between abilities and systems, and create more opportunities for emergent gameplay. The full version will also feature more levels, content, and overall variety.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Refer to "About This" for details”

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

“Yes. We plan to increase the price by approximately 40–60% when the game leaves Early Access.”

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

“We’ll communicate with players on Discord and run regular closed playtests to gather feedback and improve the game throughout Early Access.”

About This Game

Fight, die, adapt, and try again.

Born to Die is a dark fantasy co-op roguelike built around visceral first-person combat, combining the deliberate challenge of Souls-likes with the freedom and environmental interactions of Dark Messiah.

Fight your way through dangerous levels using melee weapons, magic, and the world around you. Parry attacks, stagger enemies, kick them into deadly traps, throw weapons, and use physics and environmental hazards to turn the battlefield to your advantage.

Each run gives you new opportunities to shape your character. Choose different progression paths, combine abilities, and discover powerful synergies that can dramatically change the way you fight. Experiment with fire, ice, lightning, weapons, and environmental interactions to create your own approach to combat.

Play alone or join forces with friends in co-op. Combine your abilities, improvise when things go wrong, and discover unexpected interactions between players, enemies, magic, physics, and the environment.
