After an amazing Early Access, Root is now available on Steam! Thank you so much to everyone who offered feedback, left a review, or just played one of the tens of thousands of games logged during Early Access! Your enthusiasm and support has been fantastic.

With today’s full release on Steam, we’re excited to bring mobile and Steam players together cross-platform for even more epic woodland warfare.

And…tick tock tick tock…what’s that sound? Clockwork Opponents are on the way in the first big update (hopefully next month), with future expansion content to come!

In addition to some of the improvements from our last patch, today’s release includes general stability and match-making improvements, as well as a feature much-requested by the Early Access community, and some more improvements to support cross-platform play:



[h2]Quick Battle[/h2]
You can now choose an option in the settings menu to let you skip the battle scene and conduct all your battle decisions from the Forest, where you can keep an eye on the game state. Quick Battles are cutting edge woodland technology so let us know if you have improvements to offer on this front.

In addition to this, we’ve made a number of tweaks to animation length throughout the game; opponent turns and regular battle should now be snappier in general.



AI Improvement
Improving AI play is a continuous process and we continue making changes to adjust behavior with each release. Some of today’s updates include corrections for errant moves, as well as prioritizing counterplay to whichever player is leading. For now you should see these improvements applied most often and aggressively in higher difficulty matches. Keep the feedback coming!

[h2]Coming Soon! – Undo and Action Log[/h2]
Keep an eye out for MVP versions of these features to be added in the coming weeks.

But now it’s time to enter the fray and let the fur fly. Who will lead to victory?
The ruthless conquering cats who serve the Marquise?
The noble squabbling birds of the Eyrie?
The feisty forest critters of the Woodland Alliance?
Or the mischievous Vagabond, who makes their own path?
The stage is set for a contest that will decide the fate of the great woodland. It is up to you to decide which group will ultimately take root.
