What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our goal is to iterate on our current gameplay to find the perfect combination of mechanics that blend elements of chess, auto battlers and roguelikes.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game has currently been in development since mid 2022 and so far we are happy with our pace. We believe that we can deliver on the remaining core essentials in 2024.”

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

“The full version is planned to contain a rougelike singleplayer mode in addition to the multiplayer modes already available.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game currently has the following modes:
  • Versus mode - Multiplayer matchmaking with 2 or 4 players.
  • Arena mode - Async Multiplayer game mode, obtain 10 victories to win.
  • Custom Lobbies - Play with friends.
”

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

“Our current idea is to have all multiplayer modes completely free and to support further development via paid singleplayer content.”

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

“We're actively working on ways to involve the community in the development. Player feedback so far has been crucial for iterating on the gameplay mechanics. We have an active Discord channel where we are talking with players and coming up with ideas for new events and gameplay features. So far we have implemented new classes, items and entire mechanics based off of player feedback.”
