Spire of Sorcery enters Early Access on October 21!
After running development sprints for a year non-stop, the game is set to enter Early Access on October 21 – hurray!ChampagneStrong coffee for everyone!
We define Spire of Sorcery as a turn-based party RPG where you rely on spellcasting, alchemy and a bit of equipment to explore the original world of Rund – engaging with the realms of life, death, and chaos to help the sentient citadel mend the broken world.
We’re pretty sure that you haven’t seen a game with such spellcasting mechanics before!
- Learn basic spells and unlock combos
- Concoct curative potions and prepare explosive bombs
- Combine alchemy, spells and equipment to prevail in encounters
- Explore the original world of Rund to discover new resources and new recipes
- Expand your base at the Spire with new rooms that open new mechanics
- Find new party members and improve their stats
- Taste any resource that you find, to modify the looks of your party
- Collect, grow and cook food that may taste great, or may taste horrible
- Break into ancient barrows, dispel cursed weepers and battle infection-ridden gigglers
The list goes on – and we’re just getting started!
What’s in the current version of the game?
The game releases with 3 chapters that detail the escape of the mages from the vengeful Inquisition, their encounter with the terrifying Broodmother and their first contact with the mysterious tribe of Mushroom-eaters. Spellcasting, alchemy, equipment, cooking, stats and traits, discovery system and construction of rooms at the Spire are all in!
As to the world, we’ve got seasoned gigglers and rageful shadows, spitting demons and fearful blackpaws, mad weavers and cursed weepers, spike-shooting tree crawlers and deaf mushroom-eaters who populate barrows, haunts and villages across wetlands, forests and elderwood.
How will the game be updated?
More content is coming, and a plenty of new mechanics is in the works for the next updates!
We update the game every month with quality-of-life improvements, and once every two months with new chapters and new mechanics. In this way, you’ll regularly have new challenges to try and mechanics to sample – all the way towards the full release.
Campfires, travel magic, crafting, personal relationships – it’s all on the roadmap, as well as new creatures, new regions and new mechanics.
How long will the game remain in Early Access?
We’re looking to reach version 1.0 before the end of 2022.
We’re a fast-paced dev team that survived both the COVID-19 pandemics and the complete revision of this game’s concept, so we’re not going to just sit back and let the time go to waste – never! We're hell-bent on shipping new content and new mechanics as fast as we can, thanks to your support, and improving the balance and the interface – based on your feedback.
What about owners of the Limited Early Access version?
Every owner of Spire of Sorcery LEA gets the new Early Access app added to their Steam Library on the day of its release (as well as a little thank-you in the form of a Supporter DLC).
What now?
Wishlist the game – and Steam will notify you once it is available for download.
Thanks to everyone who supported us through the recent turbulent times and shared the news of this game with their friends!
Our team is committed to creating original games that combine all sorts of mechanics, and we hope to bring you lots of fun with Spire of Sorcery – as you will see it evolve and grow during the upcoming Early Access period!
