After a period of intense community testing, developer Screen Juice is pulling back the curtain on the next stage of development. The feedback gathered during these tests is already being baked into the game, with a heavy focus on tuning the combat balance and the fluidity of the signature shapeshifting system. If you've been playing, you know that the flow between forms is what makes this machine-slaying RPG click, and seeing the team prioritize that polish is a great sign for the final release.
While the playtests are ending, the door isn't completely shut for those looking to get in early. The Demo Speedrun event is still live on the official Discord, offering a chance to secure an Early Access key for those who can master the game's high-speed mechanics. A recent update to the demo also introduced a few refinements and a new feature for players to test their mettle before the full launch.
This transition marks a pivot from experimental testing to final production. By tightening the difficulty curve and refining how combos transition between different metal forms, the studio is aiming for a launch version that feels as sharp as the blades you're wielding. We'll be keeping a close eye on the official Early Access date as the team moves out of this testing shadow.
