A skill-based bullet-hell shooter with a TON of colorful characters, crunchy gunplay, and a planet that holds a grudge. Rescue your crew, reach the escape pod, and get out. The catch: every escape cranks up the Hostility toward those left behind.

Leaving Early Access: Sep 25, 2026

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Hostile Lands is currently in Early Access in the hope that player feedback can help us build a game that is fun and worth the player's time and money.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“1 year”

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

“Our goal for the full version of Hostile Lands is to add more enemy & boss types, alternate levels and new weapons.
As time and resources allow, we'd like to expand on the game's story with optional side levels that reveal the background lore along the way.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Hostile Lands currently includes 8 biomes, over 50 unique guns to find and use, and the base ending for the game's story.”

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

“We plan to raise the price once we hit 1.0 and have more content and features available.”

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

“We hope to use the community's feedback via Steam reviews to mold and shape Hostile Lands into a game players can enjoy as much as possible.”
