Why Early Access?

The survivors-like genre exploded suddenly, and now it is time for its evolution. I decided to go for Early Access because I need to give a voice to the gaming community and find out what they care about and what they consider outdated. As an experienced developer, I know that my game includes the coolest elements of this genre, but I also want to push it forward in a new, unexplored direction.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

The plan is to remain in Early Access for several months, with a full release scheduled for Q1 2027.

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

The full version of the game, unlike the Early Access version, is planned to include a local co-op mode. On launch day of version 1.0, we plan to release the game with many additional heroes, gameplay modes, locations, weapons, and upgrades. Thanks to community feedback, the game will be polished in terms of gameplay mechanics, optimization, and balance.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

The EA content includes all core game mechanics - combat, weapon upgrading and merging, and character meta-progress. Players can immerse themselves in the game world with:

Before the full game release, at least 2 major updates for the EA version are planned, introducing new locations, characters, enemies, weapons, upgrades, as well as bug fixes, performance improvements, and community feedback integration.

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

Yes. Early Access offers a discount compared to the final release price.

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

The game is being developed as a solo project, but we are a husband and wife team. I dedicate every spare moment to the game's development, while my wife handles continuous communication with players. We have set up a Discord server to stay updated with players' questions and feedback, and plan to conduct surveys and polls there regarding the directions in which the game could evolve.

Can I provide feedback and bug reports?

All feedback is appreciated! You can join our Discord server, where I regularly interact with players and post updates. Additionally, I'll be active in social media, sharing progress and conducting polls. Your feedback is invaluable, and I look forward to shaping Arms of God with the community.

Will I have access to the product during the entire Early Access phase?

Yes

What is included in Early Access?

The Early Access version includes the complete core gameplay experience of Arms of God, including all major gameplay systems such as combat, weapon upgrading and merging, character progression, meta-progression, and the cathedral hub.

The game is fully playable from beginning to end in Early Access, but we plan to continue expanding it with major content updates before the full 1.0 release. These updates are planned to include new locations, enemies, characters, weapons, upgrades, quality-of-life improvements, optimization, bug fixes, and features inspired by community feedback.

Additional optional DLCs will also be available separately, including the Supporter Pack and the Official Soundtrack (OST).
