Nominate Necesse for the Steam Awards

With the start of the Autumn Sale, nominations for this year’s Steam Awards are underway and we’d like to ask for your support by nominating Necesse for the Labor of Love Award.



Necesse has been out for a few years now. A ton of stuff has changed since launch as we’ve continued to improve the game with updates. Some of the bigger changes this year were:

  • End-game incursions with new bosses, biomes, and gear
  • Settler adventure parties
  • Mana system for magic weapons
  • Original music
  • Bees and Cavelings!
  • QoL features, balance changes, and bug fixes


Upcoming Next Update

We’re still working hard on the next update, and we can’t wait to get it out for you to play! It still needs a little bit of time in the oven though, so you will have to wait until the first half of December. Until then, here is a small teaser:



We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you, the players, supporting our game throughout development and with each update we’ve brought to Necesse. We are incredibly grateful for your support, and we know there will be a lot of competition for this award, so your nomination means the world to us. Please check the nominate button that’s part of this post if you would like to consider us for the Labor of Love award for the 2023 Steam Awards.

Thank you for the continued support!

Discount (50% off) and upcoming regional price adjustments

Hi everyone!

Necesse is currently on sale for 50% off. At the conclusion of the sale, we plan to make some adjustments to regional prices. We wanted to provide advance notice in case anyone would like to purchase at the current, discounted price.

The new regional prices will go up in some regions, however, we will continue to find a balance to maintain affordability for players. The price in USD and Euros will remain the same.

Thank you for all the support of the game!

v0.22.1 - Magic damage additions and mana tweaks

Hey everyone!

This is a small mid-update patch that tweaks the new mana system and adds a few more mana related trinkets. We're obviously still working on the next bigger update, but after getting some feedback on the last one, I wanted to get this out now.
I still read all feedback submitted from inside the game, in Steam discussions, reviews and in the Discord server. So don't hold back! :)

Other than this patch, you've probably seen a few other minor patches in between updates. These are just bug fixes and translation updates. Thank you to everyone who has been helping in translating the game!

The game is also currently on sale. So if you have been thinking about picking it up, now is a great time :)

Thanks!
