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 want to refine Petalwar with feedback from real matches. Early Access gives players a chance to help us find bugs, improve balance and performance, and make the game easier to learn before full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last around two to four weeks. This is an estimate, and it may take longer as we work through player feedback and remaining issues.”

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

“We plan to improve balance, performance, stability and usability based on Early Access feedback. Our goal for full release is a more polished and dependable version of the existing game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build includes an interactive tutorial, an eight-level campaign, three factions and 18 maps for two to eight players. Play skirmishes against the AI, or host online and LAN multiplayer matches: friends join online with an invite code, and spectators can watch. Players build an economy, progress through three technology tiers, and command armies across land, sea and air. Custom maps and mods, replays of recent matches, 24 in-game achievements, and English and Dutch text are included. Balance, performance and features may change, and you may encounter bugs.”

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

“Petalwar is free during Early Access and will remain free at full release.”

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

“We welcome feedback from matches, bug reports and suggestions in the Steam community. Players can also use the in-game Report a problem option and include the game version, operating system, what happened and what they expected. We plan to use this feedback to guide fixes and improvements and share development updates through Steam announcements.”

About This Game

Five petals. One Heartbloom.

Build your base, gather matter and energy, and command armies across land, sea and sky. Each Heartbloom is protected by five petals. Defend your own, destroy the enemy's petals, and strike at the heart.

Choose your banner

Lead Sunhearth's armour and heavy guns, take advantage of Mossglade's speed, or hold the line with Moonveil's shields. Three factions give you different ways to build, fight and win.

Command the whole battlefield

Send engineers to construct and repair, plan your economy around matter and energy, and advance through three technology tiers. Combine tanks, aircraft and naval forces. Zoom out to read the battle, then move in to direct it.

Play your way

Learn the controls in the interactive tutorial, play a skirmish against the AI, or host a multiplayer match and share its invite code with friends.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

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