You have access to the game in its current state, you have to be aware that it lacks features and will have bugs. You pretty much are beta testing the game before they feel confident enough to launch version 1.0 and leave the "Early Access" state.

I wonder if this game will have any metroidvania aspects to it or puzzles or if it's just straight hack n slash the whole way.
Think Hades.
You played the game through the Bone Hydra boss battle with only some of the weapons and character boons. And it was gradually updated for two years to what was there at the 1.0 release.
I have the feeling we don't even need lots of these to get burned out by the genre quick. There is a bigger fatigue here than with other genres, in my opinion.
You do basically accompany the development and extension of this game and witness how it gets bigger, better, gets more features, gets stuff cut that didn't work well completely but you had the opportunity to use it for a short time, see it grow and change over time.
And sometimes that gets you much more invested into the game than in any other way.
But also, early access release most of the time cost you half or less of what the final game will cost when they release 1.0. So it's also cheaper to just buy it early even if you want to wait with playing.
considering games can be in early access for years, its more like public alpha.
yeah i was excited for this game but after reading this im not giving those two fucks any money.
feel like everybody here should read this before throwing their cash down.
OP
OP
I think I'll probably buy this day one, but I might wait because I'm about to buy a new PC and I want to see this in its full glory, not on low settings on my laptop.
But this is basically doing everything for me, it just depends on how the combat system works

Beyond excited for this one.
Just need there to be a perfect-block system like Lies of P / Sekiro so the combat isn't constrained to a single, boring defensive option.

Ori is one of the best platformers of last gen. If this game has the same level of polish, then Moon Studios has my money.
Co op will be 4 players, pvp looks like arena combat don't think there will be invading etc. But important to not the online stuff won't be in the game till the first update and we don't know exactly when that is yet.
okay thanks, I just wasn't sure if this is something like diablo and the season based ranking system or whatever they have
Nah. No seasons have been mentioned but the world does change around. Enemies and loot spawns change over time in areas and there is an endgame dungeon you replay for challenge and loot.
The game is essentially Souls gameplay and level design mixed with Diablo loot. The world is completely handcrafted, combat is tactile and animation driven, and the loot is randomized with different rarity tiers and slots for affixes.
does anyone remember testing what I assume was the first iteration of this? Must have been on the old site at this point. If I recall the point was that ARPGs had been remaking diablo 2 for decades and it was supposed to be a true advancement of the genre. If this is what that test turned into I'm at least curious to see if there are any interesting ideas in it.
edit: I found it

Yup. If there's a Steam page, there's always an early access FAQ about what's in the current build, what they have planned during EA, when they plan on launching 1.0, and if they plan on changing the price during or after WA.
Do we know roughly about how much content is available at early access launch? Number of areas, average time to beat etc? I got no problem with early access as long as there's enough to mess around with day one.
For sure! With a lot better animation and effects going on.
