[h3]WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE & CONTENT OF THE EARLY ACCESS VERSION?
[/h3]
[h3]The EA version is currently in the Pre-Alpha (early) state and contains a chunk of the game (and bugs)
with over 20 playable missions, 2 main characters, 7 enemy classes, 11 enemy types, and 40
weapon types. Many hours of replayable fun await! Localized versions of the game will arrive
later this year.[/h3]

[h3]TIPS, TRICKS & MORE TALKING POINTS[/h3]

[h3]
• We recommend checking out all three tutorials to fully understand the uniqueness of the system.
  
• Remember to collect consumable crates. Ammunition is very valuable and a very limited resource in BEAST.
  
• If you score a critical hit you will see some bloody and gory dismemberment.
  
• There will be difficulty levels from easier to hardcore where if you die, it’s permanent and
  you’ll have to restart the game.[/h3]
  

[h3]In addition to the Early Access release, be prepared for an official DEVELOPER LIVE STREAM starting just after 5 PM CEST. During the stream, we will show you the basics of the game and we will go through the first stages of the game together! If you have any questions some small Q&A will be also available![/h3]

[h3]See you all here on the Steam BEAST Store Page[/h3]
[h2]False Prophet Team[/h2]

If you're weary of Baldur's Gate 3's whimsy, or you've finished gnawing the bones of Diablo 4 and are hungry for more of that sweet, sweet grimdark, you might like to check out Beast from Polish developer False Prophet, which goes into Steam early access today. It's a turn-based tactics RPG with a Gothic historical setting, an extremely late-noughties insanity mechanic, a heavy metal soundtrack, plagues, heresy, dynastic feuding, and a protagonist with a dramatic eye scar and possibly non-metaphorical "inner demons". Amongst other things, it looks like you can run people over with a horse-drawn carriage. M-Rated enough for you, edgelords? Here's the trailer.

[h3]Why Early Access?[/h3]

We want to make sure we create the best possible game for fans of turn-based tactical RPGs.
Early Access allows us to be close to our current and future players who will be able to join our journey of completing our first game. Having our foundation solid and validated by our BEAST community before we launch the full game is our highest priority.

[h3]How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?[/h3]

We are very excited to go on this journey where there will be frequent updates to the game, community surveys and insights into our development and how your feedback is vital in all of it. We consider our Steam forums and official Discord channel our prime channels to talk with us.

[h3]What is the current state of the Early Access version?[/h3]

The EA version is currently in Alpha (early) state and contains a chunk of the game with over 20 playable missions, 2 main characters, 7 enemy classes, 11 enemy types and 40 weapon types. Many hours of replayable fun awaits! More languages are coming later this year as well.

[h3]Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?[/h3]

We’re committed to 2024 so it’s months rather than years.

[h3]How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?[/h3]

As this is truly an Alpha version of the game (which means actual early code) there is a lot of stuff planned to be implemented, fixed, updated, balanced and optimized before full release. You will hear temporary music, voice overs and sound effects. You will see strange animations & graphics and you’ll likely be able to exploit combat systems at times. The full game will include side missions, additional story missions, more customization, enemies and much more. If you’re looking to be able to get in early and help finish a dark tactical game you’d want to play, this is it!

[h3]Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?[/h3]

Yes, the “Loyal Edition” which we will talk more about shortly will only be available during Early Access and will include the game, digital artbook, wallpapers, unique weapon, equipment skins and soundtrack (content will be able to be downloaded as they become available) for a special price as a thank you to our early adopters (subject to change).

We are thrilled to share some electrifying news with all of you!
