Varför Early Access?

“We have chosen early access as the path leading up to a full release as this game has been in development by a micro-sized team and games in the fighting genre's success are part in due to how well balanced the roster is. To accomplish a well balanced, diversified, and exotic cast for a a wide audience across a wide range of experience and skill is nearly impossible to achieve without a variety of perspectives sharing feedback. While attempts are made to best provide this as best possible, the ability to best achieve this can't exist without the help of a community helping refine that balance to that next level.”
