Why Early Access?

“We believe Early Access is a unique way for us to gather opinions from our community to quickly and continuously improve gameplay. We hope that through this, more players will discover our game, play through it, and share their feedback with us.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We haven't officially settled on a specific release date yet, but we hope to keep the game in Early Access until a release date inside of 2025 at the latest.”

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

“We expect that the full version will feature much more content and high-quality gameplay when compared to the initial Early Access version. Generally speaking, players will have access to a wider variety of regions, strong enemies, and events with the featured NPCs in the official version.

During the game's time in Early Access, we plan to carry out a variety of work on the game, including content development and game testing, actively seeking out player feedback along the way.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Most of the gameplay features introduced in the store page are already implemented into the Early Access version. For better accessibility and gameplay experience, we plan to polish in-game mechanics as well as content based on user feedbacks collected during Early Access.

Currently, the Early Access version features 3 (three) large stages, each stage containing a unique theme, story and boss. Players can use 4 (four) weapon varieties and control Eileen, a female default character. The Early Access version provides roughly 10 (ten) hours of gameplay and we plan to develop it into a full game through periodic major content updates.”

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

“Depending on the amount of content added to Chrono Sword in the future, there may be a price increase for the official release.”

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

“After releasing to Early Access, we are planning to share our development blueprint of future updates through various social channels, such as the Steam Community Hub, Discord, Reddit, and more. During the Early Access period, we will incrementally release information about new regions as we maintain a balance between adding new content and polishing existing content, all while collecting valuable opinions from players in the community.”
