What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our goal with C.A.S.T. is to create an engaging and intense third-person extraction shooter PvE experience. As a two-man development team, Early Access is the ideal platform for us because:

  • It allows us to gather crucial feedback from our community to fine-tune the gameplay mechanics, balance, and overall player experience.
  • Given the complexity of the combat, gear systems, and AI behaviors, we want to ensure these elements are polished and balanced through yours input.
  • We aim to create a game that is both challenging and rewarding, and Early Access enables us to iterate on yours feedback and make necessary adjustments.
  • Regular updates and patches during Early Access will help us gradually build a solid foundation and expand the game’s content based on the community’s desires.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate C.A.S.T. will remain in Early Access for approximately 2 to 4 months.”
