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?

“BRASS: Hard Contact is fully playable, and I want players shaping it from here. Early Access lets me build it strongly around your feedback, testing balance, maps and features with a real community before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect BRASS: Hard Contact to be in Early Access for around 12 months, depending on player feedback and how the game grows.”

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

“The full version will add more maps, weapons and equipment, deeper bot squad tactics, community-requested features, and polish across art, sound, balance and the interface. Player feedback will decide what comes first.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“BRASS: Hard Contact is fully playable today. The current version includes:

6 modes: Free-for-All, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Domination, Search and Destroy, and Co-op Holdout (10 waves)
8 battle maps, each playable in clear weather, rain, fog, night, or night and rain
Online play for up to 8 players through Steam lobbies or direct connect, with bots (easy, normal or hard) to fill any match
12 weapons, from the pistol to the RPG, with scopes, suppressors, grips, weapon lights and special ammo (AP, slugs, subsonic, tracers)
10 tactical items, including smoke, flashbangs, claymores, sandbags, illumination flares and a shovel to dig in
Realistic ballistics, destructible ground, swimming, bleeding and casualty care, and bots that fight as a squad
A 20-rank career with unlocks, saved to Steam Cloud
A guided boot camp, an in-game manual, full key rebinding and controller support”

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

“No. BRASS: Hard Contact is free during Early Access and will stay free at full release.”

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

“Through the Steam Community discussions and reviews: I read player feedback, bug reports and feature requests and use them to set priorities. Updates will say what changed and which community suggestions made it in. Many future features will come straight from player requests.”

About This Game

BRASS: Hard Contact is a grounded 2D side-view shooter about real soldiering: cover, fire and movement, and every round you put downrange. Wounds stay until they are dressed, and the soldier who uses the ground wins.

Ballistics that behave. Rounds drop with range, so dial the zero on your scope. They punch through boards, glance off steel and crack past heads to pin men down. Tracers show where your rounds go, and show the enemy where you are.

Fight like a soldier. Sprint, slide, crawl, lean and vault. Fill sandbags and dig in, rest your rifle on cover, and drag a wounded friend to safety. Blasts crater the ground and leave it that way.

Kit for the job. Twelve weapons, fifteen attachments, and a tactical slot: smoke, flashbangs, claymores, trip flares, illumination flares, binoculars and sandbags. Fight at night under flares and weapon lights, in fog and in rain.

Bots that fight like soldiers. They suppress, bound from cover to cover, flank, cover your reload and dig in where you order them. Ping a spot and your squad moves.

Six modes, eight maps. Team Deathmatch, Free-for-all, Capture the Flag, Domination, Search and Destroy, and Co-op Holdout against ten waves. Up to eight soldiers a match, humans and bots, over Steam. Hardcore strips the HUD back to what a soldier would know.

No arcade. No killstreaks, no power-ups, no regenerating health. Twenty ranks unlock gear, never better stats.
