Hey everyone!
We’ve got some big news for our very first Steam post!
We’re launching our first-ever public playtest, and you’re invited to be among the very first to jump into the FALLENSTAR action and help us shape the game!
This playtest is public, meaning you can request access directly from our Steam page and start playing in just a few clicks.
Even better: this is only the beginning. This test is the first in a monthly playtest plan. Each month, we’ll open the gates again so we can keep building the game together with our community.
When
Starting today, Friday 14th at 8AM PST (5PM CET), and running until Sunday at 11:59PM PST (8:59AM CET).
How to join
Head over to our Steam page and hit the “REQUEST ACCESS” button.
Where to hang out
You don’t need to join anything to participate, but we’d love to welcome you into our community on Discord:
What’s in this playtest?
Since our last update (or for anyone discovering us for the first time!), we’ve added a ton of improvements to make combat more dynamic, enemies more reactive, and the world more alive.
Here’s a taste of what you’ll find:
• Meet the Juggermite
A brand-new, tanky enemy. It rolls, it charges, and it hits hard — bring your biggest guns.
• Tentacles Fight Back
Tentacle enemies now react to your shots. Hit them and they’ll dive back into the ground before resurfacing. Stay alert!
• Rigsmith Has a New Throw
Rigsmith can now throw her turrets at short range, turning placements into fast tactical decisions.
• Heavy Gunner Rework
Your main weapon now fires instantly at a lower rate, then ramps up both fire rate and accuracy the longer you hold the trigger. Time to melt some metal.
• Roaches Are Hatching
Roaches now come from glowing eggs hidden around the map. Spot them early and destroy them before they hatch!
• Explore and Unlock
A new Gate and Key system is in place. Find switches that open doors elsewhere on the map to keep progressing.
For those not joining the discord, please, feel free to share your feedback on our Steam Hub!
We hope you’ll have a blast with this build and get as hyped as we are for what’s coming next.
See you on the Crimson Gate!
