Sacred Fire - Demo and Release Window

[Silver]

Sacred Fire currently has a demo available as part of Steam Next Fest and has announced its release window for Steam Early Access.

New Trailer, Demo At The Steam Next Fest, and Release Window!

Hello everyone!

We're excited to share a bunch of announcements with you. Starting with a brand new trailer! It shows you the enemy you fight: the merciless and seemingly endless Roman legions. Take a look below.

Steam Next Fest

Of course, we wouldn't just make a new trailer for nothing. Starting June 16th, you will be able to get your hands on the first public demo of Sacred Fire during the Steam Next Fest! The demo will let you play through the first chapter of the story with updated visuals and in-game choices, as well as voice acting. Doug Cockle, best known as Geralt in the Witcher franchise, is cast as the voice of your older brother. Joining him are Michelle Gonzo as your childhood friend, and Ben Britton as a local bully.

We can't wait for you all to get your hands on the demo. Make sure you join us on the official Sacred Fire Discord to discuss and compare your playthrough of the demo with the rest of the community when it goes live!

Note: the demo will only be available for the duration of Steam Next Fest (June 16th-22nd), so make sure you try it out in time!



Release Window

We're not done with the announcements just yet. We're proud to announce that Sacred Fire will be coming to Early Access in Fall 2021!

The choice to launch in Early Access comes after careful consideration. We understand this makes the wait for the finished experience longer, but the key factor outweighing everything else, is that we believe, involving the community and listening to your feedback, is the way to create the best possible game. It feels like a natural step for us to take, as Sacred Fire, since it's first inception as a purely text-based experience, was developed with community playtesting and community feedback.

The Early Access version will contain full character creation and customization, and the first of three acts, introducing many of the companion characters, tough dilemmas and turn-based boss fights. The first act is a contained story with a rewarding ending and offers thousands of choices, two completely separate story branches and plenty of nuanced differences when playing as a male or a female protagonist.

We hope you're as excited as we are! Make sure you join us on Discord to discuss the news, or leave a comment down below.

Thanks Farflame!

Vaguely interested in this one. It took a long time.

 

[Pladio]

Yeah, way too long. I Kickstarted this but lost interest after a few years of showing the same things over and over. Going to Early Access now to me sounds like a money grab as they must have run out of funds after 5 years in production.

 

[Couchpotato]

Yeah it's been a while since it was funded. At least the developer didn't give up.

 

[Carnifex]

Yup, long time to wait on this one, and kudos to the developer for just not throwing in the towel. I like the community feel of the group set-up, looking forward to seeing how it all plays out on the screen.

 

[Pladio]

I tried out the demo. I think the concept is nice, but the amount of content is very tiny at the moment. It is a demo, but it's really short.

It feels very much like a Choose Your Own Adventure game with some stats and dicerolls.
I think that was always meant to be the case, so that's fine. Hope they have a massive amount of content planned though as otherwise, it'll be very short.

 

[Nereida]

And after the long wait, we present you only yet another Early scamcashgrab Access version that won't be finished for at least a couple more years.

Pass.

If all EA's were like Solasta or Battle Brothers, I would jump in more often.
