What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access because we want to grow Bug Alliance together with the community. The game already has a solid foundation, but there’s still a lot of room to expand—especially around balance, progression, and new content. Early Access gives us the chance to listen closely to players, refine what’s already here, and shape the upcoming features based on real feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Bug Alliance is planned to enter Early Access in May 2026. We expect to remain in Early Access for about 6-12 months, aiming for a full release sometime in mid to late-2027. This timeline may shift depending on feedback and development needs, but our priority is to ensure the final version is as polished and complete as possible.”

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

“The Early Access version of Bug Alliance is planned to grow through major content updates based on our roadmap and player feedback.

At launch, players will have access to the core Onslaught experience, playable bug warriors, weapons, abilities, synergies, tactical gear, progression systems, Steam achievements, and the first 4 story chapters.

During Early Access, we plan to expand the game with new maps, additional story chapters, new enemies and bosses, new playable characters, new weapons and abilities, new tactical gear, new power-ups, additional achievements, a new meta upgrade system, and the Resistance game mode.

Our goal for the full version is to deliver the complete story chapter arc, a larger variety of maps and enemies, deeper progression options, additional playable content, more polish, improved balance, and overall quality-of-life improvements shaped by community feedback.
For the full release, we’re planning to expand the game with more characters, maps, enemy types, and challenges, along with at least five additional story chapters (for a total of 13). We also plan to continue refining, balancing, and polishing the game with community input.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Bug Alliance is intended to be fully playable and feature-rich from the start. It will include Onslaught mode across multiple maps, along with tactical gear, Chaos Mode, other modifications, and the Lore Book, which gradually reveals story and character backgrounds as players progress.

The Early Access version of Bug Alliance is intended to be fully playable from launch, with the core Onslaught mode, playable bug warriors, weapons, abilities, synergies, tactical gear, progression systems, Steam achievements, and the first 4 story chapters available.

The story content will be released gradually during Early Access. At launch, players will be able to play the first 4 chapters, while future chapters are planned to arrive through major updates as the roadmap progresses.

Some features, content, balance values, UI elements, and progression systems may continue to change during Early Access based on player feedback. We also plan to improve the game with bug fixes, balance updates, quality-of-life changes, new content updates, and additional systems throughout development.”

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

“No — the price of Bug Alliance will remain the same in both Early Access and at full release. We want players to feel confident about jumping in early, knowing they’ll get the complete experience over time without worrying about the cost increasing later on.”

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

“Community feedback is at the heart of Bug Alliance. We’ll be actively listening to players on Steam Discussions, Discord, and our social channels, making it easy to share suggestions, report issues, and discuss new ideas. We’ll also post regular development updates so players can follow progress, see what’s coming next, and understand how their feedback is shaping the game.

On top of that, we plan to run polls and community votes to help prioritize upcoming content, and we’ll occasionally host events and public tests for bigger features before they’re fully released. Our goal is to make Bug Alliance feel like a project built not just by us, but together with the players who support it from the very beginning.”

About This Game

THIS IS NOT MANKIND’S STORY ANYMORE

Humanity transformed bugs into food, tools and weapons. The insects survived, evolved and reclaimed the world.

Now, new threats are rising beneath Volucris.

Lead unique bug heroes through a fast-paced top-down action roguelite. Fight overwhelming swarms, create powerful builds and uncover the buried truth of the old world.

Choose your hero. Build your arsenal. Survive what humanity left behind.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY

Experience Bug Alliance through two distinct game modes: uncover the conflict across Volucris in Story Mode, or push your build to its limits in the endlessly escalating Chaos Surge.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STORY MODE

Fight through a chapter-based campaign and discover the story of Volucris.

Travel across dangerous regions, encounter hostile factions and defeat powerful bosses as the Bug Alliance searches for the truth behind humanity’s disappearance.

  • Progress through story chapters and episodes

  • Explore distinct regions and enemy factions

  • Face unique enemies, elites and bosses

  • Discover new characters and hidden pieces of the story

  • Unlock new records inside the Volucris Archives

  • Experience the campaign with any unlocked hero

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHAOS SURGE

Enter an endless battle where every new Chaos Level makes the world more dangerous.

As the battle continues, the deadly Chaos Fog spreads across the map, slowly consuming the battlefield and reducing the space available to survive.

Increase your Chaos Level to charge the Puristal. Fill all three energy slots and defeat the boss to unleash a purification wave, temporarily cleansing the Chaos Fog and giving you room to recover.

Every three Chaos Levels, choose between two mysterious portals and travel to a random battlefield carrying its own bonuses and penalties.

  • Survive endless enemies, elites and bosses

  • Fight against the constantly spreading Chaos Fog

  • Increase the Chaos Level as the difficulty escalates

  • Charge all three Puristal energy slots

  • Defeat bosses to temporarily cleanse the battlefield

  • Buy game changing power-ups from the Merchant

  • Choose between two portals every three Chaos Levels

  • Adapt to different map bonuses and penalties

  • Compete for the highest Chaos Level and kill count

The longer you survive, the stronger you become — and the less of the battlefield remains.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CREATE YOUR BUILD

Every run begins with a weapon and a signature ability. Level up and expand your build with additional abilities, Tactical Gear, Glyphs and stat upgrades.

Combine different effects to build around poison, fire, critical damage, automated machines, crowd control, survivability or overwhelming firepower.

  • Weapons define your main method of attack

  • Abilities provide offensive, defensive and utility effects

  • Tactical Gear adds new tools and battlefield control

  • Glyphs improve your core attributes

  • Synergies transform fully developed equipment into powerful final forms

The same hero can become something completely different from one run to the next.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHOOSE YOUR BUG HERO

Every hero brings a different combat style, arsenal and set of abilities to the battlefield.

  • Pruver — The Engineer
    Control the battlefield with firearms, turrets, drones, mines and advanced technology.

  • Kazi — The Chemist
    Cover the battlefield with poison, acid and toxic creations that destroy enemies over time.

  • Octavius — The Hunter
    Trap enemies with webs, defend himself with barriers and strike from range.

  • Brogar — The Vanguard
    Carry heavy weapons into the swarm and crush enemies with overwhelming force.

Unlock additional heroes and discover new combinations of weapons, abilities and Synergies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UNCOVER THE VOLUCRIS ARCHIVES

The history of Volucris is scattered throughout the world.

Progress through the game to unlock Chronicles, hero records, enemy archives, region histories and classified files connected to humanity’s experiments.

Each discovery reveals another piece of the mystery surrounding the old world, the Queens and the threats buried beneath Volucris.
