A PvP inventory management auto battler! Buy and craft powerful items, then carefully arrange them in your backpack.

[h3]Hey everyone,[/h3] We have a big surprise for you all! [previewyoutube=qqhlUfR3B2Q;full][TRAILER][/previewyoutube] [b]We have decided to go into Early Access in early March of this year![/b] This means you will have access to all classes earlier than previously announced. We have been asked many times if we can launch earlier, and this way we can 🥳 From the start of Early Access, BOTH the Berserker and the Pyromancer will be fully playable. Each of them comes with a full set of [b]5 subclasses[/b] and already a total of [b]25 to 30 class-specific items[/b]. The goal of the EA phase will be to polish and balance the new classes. We are aiming for a pretty short duration of a few months until the full release. And of course, we’ll be adding more items and general quality-of-life features during EA - and who knows what else! [h3]The Berserker[/h3] The Berserker is rough, tough, and angry. Her core mechanic is [b]Battle Rage[/b], which gives her increased attack speed and damage resistance when in danger. Many Berserker-specific items interact with Battle Rage and do something special when it activates! The Berserker starts with a [b]Forging Hammer[/b], which she can use to upgrade items. [h3]The Pyromancer[/h3] Some people love to see the world burn. Literally. Pyromancers find arson awesome! The Pyromancer can both buy and generate 1-gold [b]Flames[/b], that generate Heat on their own. Flames can be used to set items on fire or infuse them with Heat. Some of her signature items can use Heat as a resource for massive effects, such as [b]reincarnation[/b]! So, here are some questions we think you might have and our answers: [i]Will you still update the demo in parallel?[/i] The demo will stay up, but it will no longer get content updates. Instead, the Early Access version will be updated. This way, the Early Access-exclusive content does not lead to unfairness for the demo players. [i]Will demo players be matched against EA players?[/i] No, the player pools will be separated. [i]Will my progress from the demo transfer?[/i] Ranking will probably reset towards Early Access and possibly during Early Access as well. We will, however, do our best to transfer all unlocks (trophies, skins, etc)
