🎆 Athena Crisis is on Steam Early Access NOW!
Hello there!
Athena Crisis is on Steam Early Access Now!
Today is a big day: The first trailer for Athena Crisis just dropped and the game is now available on Steam Early Access! You can also buy the Original Soundtrack by Naineux or even an Athena Crisis + OST bundle.
If you are buying the game on Steam or already have access via Steam, please consider leaving a review. It's also a great time to tell your friends or favorite streamers about the game – or even better, invite them to play against you! Please repost on X/Twitter and social media to help make this early public launch a success!
Demo: Play a demo of Athena Crisis Instantly!
If you haven't tried Athena Crisis yet, you can play one map instantly on athenacrisis.com. If you enjoy the game and wish to support its development, please consider buying Athena Crisis directly.
Content: Play the "Ruler of the Seas" Campaign!
Flak, one of the most prolific contributors to Athena Crisis, has published yet another fun campaign. If you are already done with the Prequel campaign and want to unlock an exclusive skill, give his Ruler of the Seas campaign a try!
As part of Steam Early Access, we also added a secret map to the Prequel campaign – it pays off to play the campaign again to discover a secret and unlock a unique skill.
Steam Keys
We still have Steam Keys available. If you previously bought Athena Crisis and want to add it to your Steam library, please reply with your Steam ID (Steam → Account Details), Steam username and Athena Crisis username.
What's New?
We finished the campaign story & dialogue for the primary single player campaign which will ship in May. We added a bunch of fun skills in service of the primary campaign, and you can try them in the Map Editor already. Some of these skills change the gameplay completely and offer a new take on the game. Have you seen the Zombie unit yet?
Many of the character portraits are now animated thanks to character pixel artist Marcus. His work on Athena Crisis gave each character a unique personality, and it's been fantastic to collaborate with him!
We added Gamepad/Keyboard support to almost the whole game, translated the game to more languages with help from the community, fixed tons of bugs, and made everything just a tiny bit more delightful. One step closer every day.
What's Next?
There is still lots to build, but there are already tens of hours of content for you to play through either on your own or with friends. As more players discover the editing capabilities, you'll get more and more value out of Athena Crisis!
While I'm excited to look forward – and I've still got many surprises planned from a game and a tech perspective (stay tuned) – I want to step back and quickly reflect on the past 12-24 months since starting a company and since I seriously started working on Athena Crisis.
It's been an absolutely wild experience to create a video game from scratch. I stare at the code, listen to the soundtrack, check out each pixel, and review content like the trailer – and I simply cannot believe that all of it only exists because I wanted it to exist. Unreal. Thank you for supporting me on this path – and a huge thanks to everyone working at my publisher, Null, who have been amazing partners throughout.
