Why Early Access?

“Slay the Spire requires a lot of player feedback so we can balance content, add quality of life features, and make sure the game runs without issues. Early Access is also a chance for us to test experimental features, try exotic designs, identify niche problems, and helps us make sure the game is headed in the right direction.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until the game feels great! Last time we thought it would be about a year and it took about 1.5 years. So perhaps in the same 1 - 2 year range.”

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

“We plan to add more gameplay content, a true ending, various game modes, improved balance, a ton of bug fixes, greater hardware compatibility, fancier visual effects, and the game will be available in more languages.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to the ABOUT THIS GAME section for details.”

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

“The price of the game will increase after Early Access.”

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

“We'll primarily be listening to feedback in our Discord server but will also be monitoring other social media to see what's going well and what's going poorly. The game will also include the gathering of anonymized metrics and an in-game feedback tool to help players provide feedback.”
