• Additional refinements and polish across all aspects of the game.

One of these updates will arrive as a DLC, which will introduce a brand new Hero to the game. We've also been working on a few new projects! While we can't say much about them just yet, we're very excited and can't wait to show them to you. In the meantime, we'll continue releasing patches to fix bugs and bring general improvements to the game. Speaking of which, here are the patch notes for this update:

Hello everyone!

The day has finally arrived: Hadean Tactics is now out of Early Access with its 1.0 update! The fully released game features 3 Heroes, 6 Circles, 9 Bosses, Custom Heroes and Decks, along with two different game modes and the Weekly Hero.

The Journey of Early Access

Three years ago, we challenged ourselves to make a deckbuilder game. One year later, we released it on Steam with these features:

• One Hero (the Inquisitor);
• 8 draftable units;
• 85 cards;
• 3 Circles;
• 3 Bosses.

Fast forward to today, after many ups and downs, sweat and tears, we now have:

• 3 Heroes (Inquisitor, Nightshade and Warlock);
• 6 Hero Variants;
• 30+ draftable units;
• 9 Bosses;
• 260+ cards;
• 6 Circles;
• 3 different Hero endings;
• The Crypt with Custom Heroes and Decks;
• 70+ relics;
• 50+ enemy types;
• Solo Hero Mode and Hardcore Mode;
• The Ethernal Records;
• 80 Steam achievements;
• 3 new languages;
• and much more.

Thank you!

None of this would have been possible without you guys. Your feedback, suggestions, bug reports, beta tests, and constant support and patience have shaped Hadean Tactics into what it is today, and we are so honored and so grateful for having shared this journey with all of you. Whether you've been here since the first demos of the Steam Festivals, or you're just arriving, our most sincere thank you!

Release Discount

As part of the 1.0 celebration, the game will be 35% off until September 4th!

So what's next?

Coming out of Early Access does not mean we'll stop working on the game. We'll continue supporting Hadean Tactics with post-release patches, polishing the game, fixing bugs and improving the balance. With these patches there will also be some additional content, such as more relics and events. We also want to bring the game to more platforms, namely Switch and Xbox, and localize it to more languages.

Hello everyone!

We are thrilled to announce that controller support is now available for all Hadean Tactics players! This has been a very big task that required a deep dive into the game's infrastructure. After a lot of refinements, we're finally ready to roll it out for everyone. This update also brings the Compendium rework - every unit in Hadean Tactics now has its very own file in the Ethernal Records. Unlock the entries as you play and uncover more about the units that shape your journey.

What's next?

We've also been working on the final 1.0 update behind the scenes - this upcoming release will feature the final boss battle, and the ending of the game. In the meantime, over the next few weeks, we'll post a few more updates as we continue to enhance the Hadean Tactics experience. We're bringing official localization to Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese (more languages to come in the future), and working towards Steam Deck verification, among other improvements.

Timeline

We are aiming to release the 1.0 update by the end of this month, if not next month. We'll keep you posted on our progress, so stay tuned!

Finally, if you find any bugs or have any feedback or suggestions, you can post them here on our Steam community, or reach out to us directly on our Discord.

Hello everyone!

Happy Summer! We've just put version 0.6 up on the beta branch! The most significant feature of this update is the controller support. Implementing this has been a big challenge, but we're thrilled to say that it's finally ready for testing! Right now this update is very fresh so you may encounter some roughness and bugs, but we'll work on it together over the next few weeks to polish and fine-tune it. This is part of our bigger 1.0 update, which beyond having a lot of polish, QOL, and balancing, will also feature the true final battle and ending of the game. We'll be adding these to the beta over the next couple of months.

How to access the beta

Switch to the beta branch on the game's properties on Steam.
The game should update automatically to the beta branch.

Good news is we're approaching the final stages for the controller support and soon it will be available on the beta branch. We will share another announcement here as soon as it's up.

Hello everyone! The Warlock update is finally here, bringing you the third and final main Hero for the game! We know you've been waiting for this, so we're very excited to finally share it with you. We also want to let you know that we're participating in #TurnBasedFest and the Game Development World Championship! As part of the festival, we're running a special 25% discount for 5 days, until December 12th. This is a great opportunity to grab the game at a discounted price and try out the new Warlock Hero. We're also asking for your help in the Game Development World Championship! We need as many views, likes, and shares as possible to boost Hadean Tactics' ranking in the event. Every view, like, and share helps! For the future, we want to focus on bringing controller support and officially adding localization to a few languages. After that, we will be polishing the game and gearing up for the 1.0 launch, where we will be bringing you the final two Circles and the last battle against the true boss. Finally, we want to thank you all for your support and patience. A very special thanks to the fantastic beta players here on Steam and on our Discord who have helped us a lot during this process. And a big thanks to all the beta players who have sent reports using our new in-game feedback tool! <3 Without further ado, here are the highlights for this update: Have fun!

Hello everyone! The Steam Autumn Sale starts today! Hadean Tactics will be 25% off until November 29th. It's another good opportunity to grab the game on the discounted Early Access price before 1.0! We are working hard on the Warlock update, and it's getting ready to be released soon. As we stated before, besides the new Hero, his cards and playstyle, it will feature new units, new game modes, the event revamp with 40+ new events, and more.



If you can't wait until the update is officially finished, you can play it right now in the game's beta branch. In the beta, we have added an in-game report tool that allows you to send feedback directly from inside the game, so if you encounter anything during your runs or have any comments, just press F9 to access it. You can also join our Discord if you want to chat about it directly with us or with other awesome folks who enjoy the game. We will post the update announcement date here soon, so keep an eye out! Thank you all so much for your continued support and love! Happy Autumn! Cheers! Doug & Lili @ Emberfish Games

Hello everyone! Today's the day! We've just put the Warlock update up on the beta branch! This initial beta release includes the Warlock Hero with around 70 new cards, the Events revamp with 40+ new events, two different Random modes for runs, etc. We've changed a few things that we believe will make it better to handle balancing in the future. The most impactful were Boss relics and non-Hero units' upgrades. Those things were tweaked to prevent the player's power spike after the first Circle that was causing a lot of trouble. Keep in mind that these are not set in stone, so if you have any feedback about them please feel free to share. Right now everything is very fresh so it may feel a bit rough with loads of bugs, but we will work on it together to finetune it. We also will be adding the remaining content gradually in the next couple of weeks to the beta branch that includes Alatar's variants (the Spellslinger and the Necromancer), more cards, new units to recruit, even more events, and such. How to access: Switch to the beta branch on the game's properties on Steam.
The game should update automatically to the beta branch. You can report bugs and give us suggestions on our Discord. Have fun! Thank you all for the patience and believing in us, it means a lot. You guys are the best! Cheers! Doug & Lili @ Emberfish Games

Hello everyone! Today we've got a couple of news for you. First, Hadean Tactics is participating in Tacticon! Tacticon is an online event featured right here on Steam, all about tactical and strategy games, and we are very happy to be a part of it! To celebrate, we will be running a 25% discount for the duration of Tacticon, from September 22nd to September 26th. Now's your chance to grab the game before the 1.0 release! Next, after the long wait, we want you all to know that, tomorrow, we are dropping the beta version for the Warlock update, version 0.5! We apologize for the delay - we ran into some office space issues that slowed us down considerably. Now that we are almost all set up, the final stretch of development to launch should run smoothly. After this update, the plan is to focus on polishing, balancing, QoL, official localization, the true final boss, and the ending of the game. The game will achieve it's final form around February 2023. We will be posting another announcement here on Steam as soon as the beta is up, and will also be pinging all Beta players on our Discord, if you want to be notified directly. Thank you all for the patience and see you tomorrow! Cheers! Doug and Lili @ Emberfish Games

Hello everyone! Today we've got a couple of news for you, and more info on the Warlock update!

Tiny Teams

We are happy to announce that we will be participating in the Tiny Teams event this year! As some of you may already know, we are a self-published small team of 2 people working hard to bring this game to its full potential. The game will be 25% off during the event! The awesome people at Yogscast have also selected Hadean Tactics to be featured in an official livestream, so tune into twitch.tv/yogscast on Thursday 4th 11AM - 2PM BST if you want to join in.

Development

We've been doing some research and after lots of fiddling around we've finally implemented a way to patch the current build while working on the new stuff. No more waiting for a major update before getting your bugs fixed! This will greatly benefit the game in the long run. With the new change in workflow, we've just pushed a build with a few fixes for you!

Major Update

Warlock's Update, although taking a bit more time than we anticipated, is coming along nicely. I know you guys are excited to get your hands on the new Hero so, to go along with the sneak peeks from part 1, here are some more previews of it!

Warlock's Gameplay

Defeat your enemies using combinations of Fire, Ice, and Lightning spells, summon elemental Spirits from the underworld, or raise the dead to fight for your side!

More events!

In addition to regular text events, we've added a number of in-battle events as well. Throughout your adventure, you may find creatures in need of assistance, or maybe some rare enemies...

Moving your units

To give you even more options to control the flow of the combat, you can now move your units during battle!

All these and much more will be coming soon to the beta branch, so if you want to be notified as soon as it drops, make sure to join our Discord! Thank y'all for the support! - Doug & Lili @ Emberfish Games

Hello everyone! Happy Summer! We got a couple of news for you today! First of all, the Steam Summer Sale starts today! Hadean Tactics will be 25% off until July 7th. It's another great opportunity to grab it on the discounted Early Access price before 1.0! And second of all, we got a preview of what's to come on the next major update! These are just some of the highlights of what is coming to the game. As usual, there is also balancing, overall polishing, and more quality of life being added. We are very excited to show you all the cool stuff we've been working on! The beta is also going to be dropping very soon, so if you want to follow things more closely and discuss the game with some amazing folks, you can join our Discord! So here we go:

Third Hero reveal: Alatar, the Warlock

Master of the forbidden arcane arts, not even death itself can keep this dark wizard from his search for ultimate power.

Event revamp: From ~10 to 40+ events!

Events have been completely reworked and now have more interesting interactions, and a lot more variety.

Run options and modes!

You now have more options for your runs: ban certain units from appearing in Banners, experiment with the two different Random modes, or try a Hardcore playthrough, where unit death is permanent.

Polish, polish, polish!

Lots of polish, balancing, and quality of life!
And of course, we couldn't forget about...

The most anticipated feature: The Piglet replacements!

These and a lot more are coming soon to the beta branch! We will announce here when it drops, so stay stuned! As always, thank you all so much for your support and patience! Keep rocking. Cheers! -Doug and Lili @ Emberfish Games

A very special thanks to the amazing beta players on our Discord who have helped us a lot during this process! <3 To celebrate the opening of the Crypt, we will also be running a special discount of 25% off for a week, until March 11th! For the future, we want to keep polishing and adding more activities to the Crypt, add the final 2 Circles, do the revamping of "?" events, add more cards, relics, units, all the good stuff. We also have a couple of different run modes planned that we believe will make the game even better. On that note, the next update will be the last major one before the 1.0 release! It will feature the third and final main Hero for the game. So, without further ado, here are the patch notes for this update! Have fun! These are changes also influenced by the feedback from our amazing community!

Hello everyone! We have started the process of localization, which was a major goal for us. So far, we have Brazilian Portuguese, German, Simplified Chinese, Russian, and French. This translation is not yet complete - it's starting out with a machine translation, so a lot of things are wonky right now. Our community is working with us to iron out the kinks. If you want to contribute, please consider joining our Discord! Your feedback is super important to us, so, based on that, we're working hard to improve the look of the game. So, the Circles have gotten a visual revamp! Most of the previous assets have been replaced, and we'd love to know what you think. As for gameplay and quality of life, we've also added a damage preview for the Slides and other damage cards, and you can now hold Shift+Z to select a target for all of your units; there are also many other fixes, gameplay changes, and balancing. And aside from all that, we're also working on our next major content update - there is a lot of new and cool stuff on the horizon that we're excited to bring to you all. If you have any feedback on the game, feel free to reach out to us on our Discord server or here on the Steam community. We've also recently hit 200 Steam reviews and 700 Discord members!!! Thank you all so, so, SO much for all of the support you've been giving our little game, it means the world to us and we hope to continue bringing you more fun content in the future. To celebrate these two milestones, we'll be hosting a giveaway on our Discord server! The winners can choose between a copy of Hadean Tactics or any game up to the same price (we love to support other devs)! Go to the #giveaways channel and react to the most recent message by the Giveaway bot. Good luck, and again thank you all so much for supporting us! -Doug and Lili

Hi everyone!

For the past few weeks we`ve been working on new features for the game and now we decided to update the demo and put it back on Steam!

Here are the highlights:

We got most of the UI revamp in place!

You can now upgrade your units!

Two of the same unit on your party?
Upgrade it!
Frees up a party slot and you get an upgraded unit. Stonks!

The Graveyard

Units can be revived if you pay a visit to the graveyard.
Here is where your units go after death.
You can also send them directly to the grave, receiving gold in exchange. There is also a lot of balance tuning and bug fixes.

That's it for this update.

Now I'm gonna stop talking and let you try it for yourself, plan your paths and maybe try to catch a Goldblin (they`re fast!). If you have any suggestions, feedback or just want to chat, please feel free to reach out to us on our Discord server Thank you and have fun!
