Roboto Games launched the Early Access version of the open-world survival crafting game "Stormforge" on Steam on November 11. Supporting up to 8-player co-op, the game released modding tools and Steam Workshop support on launch day. The Japanese region price is 2,590 yen, with a 15% launch discount.
The game is set on the "Solana Islands," where magical storms rage. Players can explore alone or team up with up to seven friends to gather resources, battle, craft, and build bases. The map also features "Chaos Storms" that sweep across the entire region, requiring bases to rely on magical shields for protection.
Storms also serve as dynamic dungeons in the open world. Tornadoes, lightning strikes, toxic clouds, and erupting flames will chase or hinder players; by entering the storm and destroying crystals, players can calm the storm and claim loot. The Early Access launch offers three procedurally generated biomes—"Whispering Valley," "Howling Forest," and "Ember Canyon"—along with three bosses.
Characters can unlock five classes: Warrior, Ranger, Mage, Gatherer, and Villager, allowing players to freely mix and match over a hundred skills to build their playstyle. Accompanying modding tools let players create exploration areas, enemies, and equipment, and share them via the Steam Workshop.
