Why Early Access?

“We want to begin building and rewarding a player base of early adopters and get player feedback on balance, features, and bugs before full launch. We have a core game but have not fully implemented all the features we want to include in a full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our goal is to remain in Early Access for 3 - 6 months before releasing the full version.”

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

“We're considering several additional features including:

• Real-time head to head
  
• Factions

Your feedback and the success of Early Access will play significant role in the features we decide to add.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access is fully playable, but in need of additional balance. . Players can enjoy every core feature of the game including:

• Compete in real-time PVP
  
• Play Daily Reliks
  
• Check leaderboards, battle logs, and more.

Note: an internet connection is required to play.

While this build is very stable, we've done this long enough to know that bugs will inevitably pop up. Our mission is to squash them ASAP and release updates accordingly.”

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

“Relik will be free to play during early access. Our current plan is for it to remain free for full release. In the event it does change, the price will be very low and various economy balancing mechanics will be removed / adjusted accordingly.”

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

“All early access players will receive a free in-game bundle. We are hoping to get as much feedback as possible on what people think about the game. We want your advice on balance, features, and bugs. Keeping open lines of communication with our players continues to be a top priority for Iron 27 and we're really excited about getting Relik in the hands of the Steam Community!”
