What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We know this game genre is all about player creativity and player choice, so it makes sense to integrate community feedback into our development to ensure we’re building an adaptable experience supporting different playstyles. While we have our own vision for early access, we’re excited to make a few detours to adjust for community priorities and player needs.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Ideally 2 years. The major and minor features we would like to see in Early Access will realistically require a couple years to roll-out in intervals. Factoring in time to react to community feedback, the roadmap could expand to three years before we release our 1.0 and remove the early access label; however, if we are unable to sustain our time in Early Access at our small studio, we have an alternate route to polish up the existing content and reach our 1.0 sooner.”

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

“We intend to expand the game in multiple areas during Early Access, including character customization, new enemy types, spell upgrades, buildables and craftables. With community support, we hope to roll-out some more major updates that would include map expansion, new biomes, and extend game progression.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version will feature the following content which aims to provide a well-rounded experience offering many hours of replayability:

A first major biome, present with associated enemies, resources, and recipes across two islands.
Movement modes like Glide and Sprint, various melee weapons and bows
The first tiers of armor, tools, and structures
Most crafting facilities, although they won’t be fully upgradable until later releases.
Inventory system, including backpack, gear slots, equip hot bar, and chests.
Progression guideposts with minimal narrative
Minor challenges and puzzles to earn recipes & upgrades

”

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

“Yes. The initial entry price aims to reward early-adopters for taking a risk with our game before it is finished. As we roll-out updates, please anticipate scaled pricing. Of course, we’re also committed to notifying our community and backers in advance of changes to give everyone time to consider the present price.”

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

“Our goal is to balance an integration of community feedback and a commitment to our game vision. As we continue to work towards our final release, we will actively be seeking feedback on the game mechanics and whether they provide the intended value to our players. Join our Discord to participate in the conversation and help us improve the game for everyone!”

About This Game

Discontent brews in the Underworld, and by the hand of Charon, you have been spared death and brought to a lost shore to be tested. To discover your role in an elusive plot against the Gods, you must start from nothing, hunt for resources, and arm yourself against the dangers of the isles. Only then will you prove yourself worthy of the greater trials ahead.

EXPLORE THE RUINS

Venture across the ruins and wilds, just beyond the domain of the Gods. With heightened movement abilities, traverse and endure the natural challenges of coastal cliffs, foggy woods, dark caves, and blistering sands to unlock treasure and power amidst mythic landmarks.

EMPOWER YOURSELF

To fight back against the natural wildlife and fallen, corrupted heroes that came before, you must grow in strength through acquired recipes and upgrades. As you claim victories across the isles, build and adorn impressive Greek structures that rival the halls of Olympus, and protect yourself with improved and uniquely selected weapon designs and armor sets, crafted by ingredients you choose.

DEFY THE GODS

Only after you have overcome the tasks set before you, may you cross the threshold into the Forgotten Crossroads and discover the mysterious purpose of your odyssey. Compelled by distant guides, seek out the shrines of the Olympians, and complete the trials to steal their knowledge and sever the Gods’ lingering ties of power.

BAND TOGETHER

Undertake this deadly odyssey on your own, or recruit up to three friends to aid your journey at any time in online cooperative multiplayer. Divide and conquer to gather resources and claim the isles in the name of Defiance while sharing objective rewards across players, so you never miss out.

This requires an installation of an EOS dependency to allow the game to communicate with backend systems. You do not need to install Epic Games Store, nor have an Epic account to play our game. If you are playing on Steam, the only data that this EOS dependency pulls from you is publicly available information related to your steam account.
