Players can now explore more about the world in the indie action, and platformer game Spiritfall.

Spiritfall launched its Early Access version via Steam on April 3, developers from Gentle Giant announced. The game is playable Windows and MacOS, allowing players to embark on an epic adventure on their preferred platform.

It's been a long and exciting journey, and we can't wait for you to see what we've added for our Early Access launch, Gentle Giant tweeted. The indie game studio dangled a limited introductory offer to mark Spiritfall's new milestone.

Spiritfall follows the story of an unsung warrior called the Omenforged. Players take control of the Omenforged in their quest to eradicate the blight in their land. Doing so, they are expected to unravel the mysteries behind it and fight monsters along the way.

Gentle Giant's latest release, Spiritfall, seamlessly combines the highly popular action roguelite and platform fighter genres to create an unparalleled gaming experience. Every battle in the game is exciting and different, thanks to the wide variety of combat mechanics players will encounter throughout the game. Spiritfall also features a visually stunning 2D, hand-drawn art style that adds an extra layer of immersion to the gameplay.

As of April 5, Spiritfall's release had received positive feedback from the first batch of gamers who played its Early Access mode. They praised its "smooth mechanics" and "rich visuals." Some even likened the game to the revolutionary platform fighter, Super Smash Bros.

Based on its Steam page, the Early Access version of Spiritfall allows gamers to explore three of its five regions. They can also interact with six of the seven Divine Spirits. The game's Early Access roadmap also showed at least three content updates in the pipeline. The first, titled "Spiritforged," will launch in May 2023.

According to the developers, Early Access for Spiritfall will take four to eight months.

On the other hand, they have yet to announce the target release date for the game's full launch. Releasing in Early Access will allow us to expand the game even further before the official release while making sure that we receive crucial feedback before the 1.0 Launch, Gentle Giant explained.
