Why Early Access?

“Working with feedback from the community will be a huge help to us. During the ongoing alpha playtest we've received great player feedback that has shown us what needs improving and whether our latest changes are working well. With Early Access we can continue this process as we ship updates and finish the game's content.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're planning for a year or less, depending on player feedback and which features we decide to add.”

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

“We'll be listening to feedback to help us decide which types of content to focus on and which features to add.

The full version will have lots of added and improved content, including new bosses, cards, relics, and a new character with its own unique archetypes and set of 50+ cards.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We have all the core gameplay systems in place and there's a lot of cards and relics to discover. The replayability is high: players can mix and match classes and try out different archetype combinations on each run.

Beating all of the current ascension levels with each class duo combination would take 50-100+ hours.

Currently the game has:
* 170 cards
* 115+ relics
* 3 playable classes
* 3 acts
* 5 bosses
* 35 unique encounters
* 20 combat modifiers
* 30 bounties that unlock heroes, relics, and potions
* 14 runes
* 10 ascension levels
* Full Steam Deck support (pending Steam validation)”

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

“Yes, the game will cost less for Early Access supporters. We plan to raise the price once the game is fully released.”

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

“Feedback from playtesters has been critical for us and that will continue to be the case during Early Access. We listen to feedback carefully and try to figure out the best way to address any game issues that come up.

We also have channels on our Discord where players can post their suggestions for new cards, relics, creatures, and anything else that they come up with.

We have squashed many bugs over the past year of alpha playtesting with the help of our playtesters' reports. They have also identified a number of balance issues, by proudly reporting when they've found a broken strategy.

Some alpha playtesters have volunteered to help us translate the game to a few languages. There are many more languages we want to support, so we hope to find more Early Access supporters who want to help the game reach an international audience.”
