STOCKHOLM — April 22, 2025 — Paradox Arc and XperimentalZ Games today released their party-based roguelike dungeon crawler, Escape the Mad Empire, into Early Access for PC via Steam. The game is now available for $17.99/£14.99/€17.49. Players can also check out the free demo on Steam.

Escape the Mad Empire, which started development in 2018, features a unique blend of CRPG, traditional roguelike, management, and action RPG elements. While it shares similarities with other games in the genre, it brings a wholly new flavor with an intense, deep, challenging, and rewarding tactical experience.

The Early Access release features a wealth of content for players to explore: 13 unique hero classes, each armed with a wild array of skills and abilities; hundreds of powerful items to equip and use, including swords, shields, armor and legendary pieces like the Heavy Helmet of Mindf*ckery!

Players can venture through a procedurally generated world spanning nine diverse biomes, packed with relentless enemies, fearsome bosses, and challenging mini-bosses. The tactical pause feature allows for the instant execution of insane combos for devastating effects. The game encourages emergent gameplay and empowers players to find creative ways to survive.

In the home base, players can build machines to recruit, upgrade, and restore heroes, as well as buy, craft, identify, and enchant gear to strengthen their party.

Overview of Early Access features:
  • 13 hero classes with a wide range of over-the-top skills and abilities
  • Hundreds of insane items and equipment, encouraging theorycrafting and emergent gameplay
  • Real-time with instant-attack on pause combat system
  • A plethora of challenging foes
  • An upgradable home base where to recruit, train and equip heroes
  • A procedural map made of nine biomes through which to make your escape
  • Five bosses to defeat
  • Plenty of quests, mini-boss and story events
  • A ‘points’ based difficulty system which trades difficulty for more rewards
  • A vast array of tactical elements, like surface effects, cover, flanking, status effects, etc.

Eastern block
- great concept
- good explore music but shitty annoying combat music
- sci fi and fantasy mix is cool (like Wizardry)
- cool art but too infantile, we are not 5 year old girls
- RTWP combat feels automated and boring, TB would be much better
- system bloat with too much shit (4X and macro elements)
- too easy
- hunger/thirst is cool addition (but not too complicated which is great)
- too many exploding barrels at every corner (like 5x more than needed)
- gear is too powerful
- dungeons need secrets
- wells/campfires for resting/replenishment are old and boring idea

I'd still wait a couple of more years
