Developers Firesquid and Lightbulb Crew have announced that their highly anticipated turn-based strategy game, Ex Sanguis, is set to launch into Steam Early Access for PC on May 21st.
The initial Early Access version will be fully playable, offering core mechanics and several hours of compelling content. The full release is planned to introduce substantial additions, including new content, refined balance, expanded features, and potentially new game modes. The development teams anticipate keeping Ex Sanguis in Early Access for a minimum of six months, though this timeline may be adjusted based on valuable player feedback and the overall pace of development.
Players will assume command of an elite squad of warriors, fighting desperately to save a dying world. The combat system is designed around aggressive effects, such as damage over time, powerful knockbacks, dynamic chain reactions, and synergistic abilities. Blood isn’t merely a visual element; it’s intricately woven into the game’s mechanics and visual style, intensifying each confrontation and heightening the sense of tactical pressure exerted on the enemy.
The game offers players considerable freedom, allowing them to choose their path and difficulty level. They can opt for high-risk missions for greater rewards or focus on resource gathering. Roguelite elements will ensure variety with randomized abilities, while partial progress retention will help soften the blow of setbacks and encourage continued play.
