FAQs Before the Full Version Release

Dear Adventurers,

The day when the EA version transitions to the full release is approaching.

[h3]Here we address some of the most recent and frequently asked questions. [/h3]

[h3]Q: Can we continue to play the EA version?[/h3]
A: Unfortunately, due to significant changes in the full version, including a complete reset of the prologue and the main character, and the addition of numerous new gameplay, you will need to start a new game after the full version update.

[h3]Q: Do I need to purchase the full version if I already bought the Early Access version?[/h3]
A: Players who have purchased the Early Access version will receive a free upgrade to the full version upon its release.

[h3]Q: Will there be more new content updates in the future?[/h3]
A: While creating the full version, we already had some new ideas. However, after the full release, we will prioritize optimizing the game. The new content that everyone is looking forward to will come after that. Please stay tuned for the latest official news.

[h3]Q: Will the game support PC game controllers/Steamdeck?[/h3]
A: In the full version, we will enable customizable button functions for controllers, allowing you to adjust to your preferred settings. The Steamdeck adaptation is almost complete, and Steam is currently reviewing it. After stabilizing the full version, we will continue to optimize the Steamdeck adaptation.

[h3]Q: What should I do if I encounter a black screen or long loading times when opening the game?[/h3]
A: If the game is installed on a HDD, it may take longer to load resources the first time you open the game due to the drive's read speed. Please be patient. We also recommend using a SSD to run the game. Using an integrated graphics card might cause similar issues. We will continue to monitor this issue after launch. Thank you for your understanding.

[h3]Q: Is it more cost-effective to buy the game now?[/h3]
A: The game is currently available at an all-time low discount. Purchasing now will also grant you the Launch Exclusive Content and the Soundtrack.

[h3]Q: Will the game support console versions, or is it only playable on Steam?[/h3]
A: The game is currently only available on Steam, but we are preparing for console platform ports. We will share any new developments with everyone.

[h3]Q: Can we still play the Demo after the full release?[/h3]
A: We know that the Demo is the most direct and fastest way to understand the gameplay. Therefore, the current free Demo will remain available after the game's release.

[h3]Q: I purchased a key and activated it after the full release, can I still get the EA Exclusive Rewards?[/h3]
A: No. If you have already purchased a key, make sure you activate it and deposit the game in your library before the official release.

Exclusive Rewards for Early Access Players

Dear Adventurers,

First, we want to express our gratitude for your feedback during the early access period. Many of you participated in multiple rounds of new gameplay testing, helping to identify issues and bugs. You have all witnessed Kaku's growth.

To honor our Early Access players, we have prepared gifts including the game's Concept Art Book, Old Kaku Gold Statue, and Gear for every player who activated the game during Early Access.

[h3]Breaking news: The game is now available at its lowest price, and purchasing now will also include EA Exclusive Rewards![/h3]



Here's the exclusive rewards for EA players:

[h3]📔Concept Art Book[/h3]
This Concept Art Book includes early and full concept art, with annotations on key designs. We spent a considerable amount of time organizing it due to the extensive content. Don't miss out on this! Table of Contents:
  • Main Characters and Key Figures

  • Characters and Habitats
  • Elemental Monsters
  • World Creatures
  • Weapons and Equipment

[h3]🥋Gear: Ancient Attire[/h3]
Originally the initial equipment of old Kaku, it is also the first piece of equipment for every player, making it highly significant. Note that its attributes are identical to the initial equipment of the new Kaku, differing only in appearance.



[h3]🗿Old Kaku Gold Statue (in-game)[/h3]
The statue on the Floating Island in the game looks more like a specially designed Easter egg. Everyone is encouraged to interact with the statue to see what happens. Players of the full version will also encounter an Old Kaku statue, but unfortunately, it is made of stone.

Each continent boasts its own unique features, from lush forests and towering volcanoes to sprawling plains and icy glaciers, ensuring a breathtaking journey filled with untold wonders.



[h3]2. Revamped combat mechanics - Three unique styles[/h3]
Compared to the Early Access version's combat system, the Full Release has removed less practical skills, optimized the fluidity of actions, combat pacing, and other details, and redesigned the UI of the skill tree. Additionally, almost all skills have added two enhanced branches, which players unlock by engaging in combat throughout the game.

The main-hand weapon, off-hand armblade, and ranged slingshot will have more unique skill styles, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. However, players can switch to another combat style at any time, and get all resources refunded. Try out all the elemental abilities that come with your divine powers!



[h3]3. Unlock Divine Powers[/h3]
Embody the incarnation of Saga the Creator in epic battles, and unleash your mighty attacks that will stop your opponents in their tracks. ​ Reclaim the Blank Stele to unlock even more transfiguration techniques that give additional boosts and let loose with wide-range attacks which deal dazzling amounts of damage.



[h3]4. Epic Boss Battles[/h3]
Venture into hidden corners of the continent to confront the leaders of the Elemental Temples. Face the relentless roaming lords of the wilderness who ruthlessly repel every intruder. In the lost outer realm, an ultimate darkness seeks to plunge the world into chaos. Commanding the power of all elements, this adversary stands as the most formidable challenge you will face.



[h3]5. Equipment & Rune Stones Create Infinite Possibilities[/h3]
All equipment has been completely revamped, featuring more distinct attributes. New embeddable rune stones, which interact with each other, open up endless possibilities for customization. Obtain a wide array of equipment, accessories, and rune stones by defeating bosses and exploring maps. Freely combine and match them to master your unique combat style and push beyond your limits!



[h3]6. The New Realm of Ruins is waiting for you[/h3]
Saga The Creator has unveiled the Realms of Ruins amidst all the chaos, featuring numerous underground ruins shaped by elemental powers. Inside, you'll encounter diverse trials, including puzzles, timed challenges, mazes, and battles. The powers and treasures left behind by Saga await your discovery.



[h3]7. Dynamic Wilderness Gameplay[/h3]
Dive into an open world brimming with interactive elements and fresh side quests. Hunt down the elusive claws scattered across the land, unearth hidden treasures beneath ghost-faced trees, and blast through obstacles with bomb flowers while dodging angry bee swarms. These new features add unexpected twists and turns to your epic journey.






Thank you to all players for your patience and support.
