What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The combination of non-linearity and limited resources makes it tricky to have the latter level scenarios play as intended without sufficient feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“For 3 to 9 months.”

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

“The full version should include:

More unique maps and scenarios
More unique units and unit types
Updated equipment list
A simple narrative to provide context
Steam integration inc. full Steam Deck support

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build:

Can be completed (3rd map is not play tested and hard)
Has 3 playable levels (different portions of same map for quick iterations)
Stand-in cutscenes and visuals (portraits and models)
Map and equipment gameplay effects
Unit stance gameplay system (unique selling point that may not survive iterations)
Save/load and minimal options menu

”

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

“The release price will be higher than the initial early access price.”

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

“For community criticism (using the Steam forums), particularily in:

Ensuring maps are non-linear -- playable in meaningfully different ways,
Providing a satisfactory exploration of the mechanics,
Smoothing out game's rough edges.

About This Game

Gyelfars is a turn-based tactics game with resource management.

Narrative

Cleanse the lands of a strange corruption.

The Game

Effeciently defeat enemies by taking advantage of your unit's strengths, terrain and equipment effects. Use the stance system to eliminate random chance in battle, but at a price.

Battle damage is persistent across maps. Your units and resources are finite. You'll have to live with the results of the decisions you make at the beginning.

The Stance System

The stance system can be used to change the odds of a situation and address frustration born of random hit chances, but with a penalty. There are 3 stances:

Cautious stance

Unit evasion percentage is it's chance to evade damage

Reckless stance

Target's evasion percentage is now attack damage reduction
Unit cannot be evaded
Unit cannot evade
Unit takes more damage

Defender stance

Unit takes damage to energy points before hit points
Unit cannot evade
Unit cannot attack
Units cannot attack or restore without energy points
