Is the game development finished?

No. Bagarre is in Early Access (alpha): the core game is playable, but many planned features and content are still in development.

What is included in Early Access?

  • Online PvP matches with the core top-down arena deathmatch gameplay.

  • The “in-match” combat loop is playable and is the main focus of the current build.

What is the current state of the game?

  • Content is incomplete.

  • Balance is actively being tuned.

  • Bugs, performance issues, and breaking changes can happen between updates.

  • Major missing areas: most out-of-match features (economy and social/lobby systems) are still being built.

How long will the game be in Early Access?

Current target: reach Beta (feature-complete + bug-fixing phase) in early 2027.
This timeline may change depending on development progress and player feedback.

How often will you be updating the game?

Updates ship when new features or fixes are ready. Frequency can vary depending on the current development focus.

Will my progress be saved during updates?

Progress is intended to persist, but Early Access updates may:

  • change progression systems,

  • require resets during major milestones,

  • or make older progression incompatible.

Is the game free?

Yes. A free-to-play player has access to all core gameplay and content.
Any purchases are optional.

Will the price change when the game leaves Early Access?

No. Bagarre is free-to-play and will remain free-to-play.

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

Planned improvements/additions include:

  • the missing out-of-match systems (economy + social/lobby features),

  • more content overall,

  • improved stability/performance and polish,

  • ongoing matchmaking and balance improvements.

Is it online?

Yes.
Because this is an Early Access alpha, servers are currently home-hosted in France and are not online 24/7.

What in-app and in-game purchases are offered in your product?

In-app purchases are planned to be enabled during Early Access. When available, players can expect:

  • Optional cosmetics (visual-only).

  • Optional progression accelerators (faster progression over time; no instant power spike at the moment of purchase).

No purchase is required to access the core gameplay.

Can your product be used without making any in-app purchases?

Yes. The full core gameplay is playable without spending money. Purchases are optional.
