Is this full release ?

[Kalas Hydra]

or is it going to be updated over time ? by that i mean is this 1.0 release ?

I know this seems impossible nowadays with everyone milking "early access" for years upon years instead of actually finishing their game, but yes, this is a 1.0 release.

Major props to the developers just for that already.

Early Access Advertisement on Store Page : it is a Early Access.
No Early Access Advertisement on Store Page : it is a Full Release.

if you scroll down on any gamepage that is in early access, there will be a MASSIVE BANNER that mentions EARLY ACCESS.

Yeah it felt kinda like a stealth release but I also may have just forgotten the release date, I was so excited to see it. This and streets of rogue 2 are gonna be amazing

this is a major NEGATIVE, if the game is released unfinished and buggy.

It's still a positive even then because it means the developers aren't hiding behind a

> "UwU it's buggy because it's early access it will be fixed in the future u guyse UwU"

facade like way too many games do nowadays, since way too many kids eat this up and parrot it creating a shield against criticism to the game and all that.

just because something is not early access doesnt mean its finished

but it should.. selling an unfinished product outside of early access means the developer has 0 responsability to fix anything. It's borderline scammy.

sure, but you can also wait forever at that point.
some games are finished finished and never touched again, and some will get frequent updates no matter how long you wait.

see for example stardew valley which is out for 9 years and just got an update 3 weeks ago.

a game thats not early access on steam is not early access, doesnt mean the studio wont look at it anymore.

especially ARPGs and roguelites tend to get frequent updates, which heroes of hammerwatch 2 is both of.

what you mean major props, the game is half-baked.
Theres a bug with level loading it taking more and more time the more levels you load.
No character re-editing.
UI looks unfinished.
No mod support.
I dread to find out what else is half-done.

its definietly not finished and should release in early access especially because in this way, developer can't get that finall 1.0 sale push when its truly done
