Hello everyone!
The day has finally arrived: Hadean Tactics is now out of Early Access with its 1.0 update! The fully released game features 3 Heroes, 6 Circles, 9 Bosses, Custom Heroes and Decks, along with two different game modes and the Weekly Hero.
The Journey of Early Access
Three years ago, we challenged ourselves to make a deckbuilder game. One year later, we released it on Steam with these features:
- One Hero (the Inquisitor);
- 8 draftable units;
- 85 cards;
- 3 Circles;
- 3 Bosses.
Fast forward to today, after many ups and downs, sweat and tears, we now have:
- 3 Heroes (Inquisitor, Nightshade and Warlock);
- 6 Hero Variants;
- 30+ draftable units;
- 9 Bosses;
- 260+ cards;
- 6 Circles;
- 3 different Hero endings;
- The Crypt with Custom Heroes and Decks;
- 70+ relics;
- 50+ enemy types;
- Solo Hero Mode and Hardcore Mode;
- The Ethernal Records;
- 80 Steam achievements;
- 3 new languages;
- and much more.
Thank you!
None of this would have been possible without you guys. Your feedback, suggestions, bug reports, beta tests, and constant support and patience have shaped Hadean Tactics into what it is today, and we are so honored and so grateful for having shared this journey with all of you.
Whether you've been here since the first demos of the Steam Festivals, or you're just arriving, our most sincere thank you!
Release Discount
As part of the 1.0 celebration, the game will be 35% off until September 4th!
So what's next?
Coming out of Early Access does not mean we'll stop working on the game. We'll continue supporting Hadean Tactics with post-release patches, polishing the game, fixing bugs and improving the balance. With these patches there will also be some additional content, such as more relics and events. We also want to bring the game to more platforms, namely Switch and Xbox, and localize it to more languages.
