What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We understand that crafting a great strategy/card game is all about balance, iteration, and listening to our players. That’s why we’re excited to open up our development process and welcome input from everyone who’s interested. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and together we can create something amazing!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’re thrilled to announce that we’re aiming to release the full version by the beginning of 2026! We can’t wait to share this exciting journey with you.”

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

“The full version will offer a wealth of ship and fleet customization options, balanced gameplay that keeps every match exciting, and seamless user interactions to enhance your experience. We’re committed to delivering a game that you’ll love! Additionally, we will add a Store front where users can unlock skins, but don't worry - we'll never be "play-to-win"!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Right now, we’re excited to be laying the foundation for an amazing multiplayer competition experience. You can dive into matches through both matchmaking or private games with friends. We’ve already integrated all 10 ship types for all 3 factions and a range of diverse maps into the gameplay, setting the stage for countless thrilling battles.”

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

“Starcade FACTIONS will always be free to play! While we will offer in-game purchases for customization options, we’re dedicated to making sure that our game remains fair and never turns into a pay-to-win experience. Your enjoyment and skill will always come first!”

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

“The best way to connect with us is through our Discord community: https://discord.gg/starcadearcade. Starcade Arcade is a small but passionate team of two—a solo developer and a community manager. We’re here to listen to your feedback and can’t wait to get to know you better!”
