Hexarchy News

A Thank you to all the players and your feedback!

Hello,

We would like to see a big thank you to all those who have been playing and enjoying Hexarchy and especially to those who have taken the time to write a review and provide us feedback on the Steam forums and Discord!

We are very pleased to see how well the launch has gone so far, it has been great to see so many players in the multiplayer lobbies, joining our Discord and writing positive reviews and providing feedback! We have spent some time going through the feedback to address not only the small amount of bugs that managed to slip through the net but also working on a plan to introduce new features and enhance the gameplay.

The first thing on our new features list is to introduce a new save feature, this is a feature that has been heavily requested and we are happy to announce we are closer to implementing this than we thought, we currently have the save feature on a test branch and hope to have this rolled out to the larger player base in the next few days.

Once the save feature is out we will continue to work on bug fixes and QoL improvements with these expected in the coming weeks! Once we have addressed the player feedback we will be ready to announce other additional content we have planned for Hexarchy! We hope you will be as excited about these new features as we are!

We really appreciate all your feedback and suggestions and would recommended you join on DISCORD to be part of the discussion for new features and improvements and consider leaving a review on Steam!

Hexarchy takes the best bits from 4X games and deck builders and blends them together to create a fast-paced, strategic experience guaranteed to entice fans of both genres. Construct a deck to suit your own playstyle, then use it to build cities, grow armies, and learn technology as your civilization expands across a procedurally generated hex map. Do you prefer to send your military units to decimate any other civilization you come across, or engage in diplomatic duels with trade routes and resources? With the right cards, victory is in your grasp.

Hexarchy has come a long way since its inception when we decided to make a deck building strategy game that can be played in about an hour! We have spent countless hours developing, overhauling and refining every aspect of the game and are very happy to have made a game we can take pride in and many people will enjoy!

We would like to extend a special thank you to our kickstarter backers and playtesters whose support and feedback has been instrumental in the development process! Without you this would not be possible!

If you are new here and this is your first time seeing Hexarchy, at its core Hexarchy is "Civilization in about an hour".

Hexarchy combines the best elements from deckbuilders, 4X strategy, and hex-based board games to create a truly unique experience.

Build a deck to your own style, playing cards from your hand to perform actions on the board. Construct on your hexes to collect resources and broaden your empire, or play technology cards to expand your deck. Develop an economy which fuels your objectives, balancing the happiness of your civilization with the demands of war.

Also you can check out our launch trailer here!
