News: Clockfall Launches in Steam Early Access - Defy Fate and Master Time
Clockfall, the innovative action-RPG roguelite hybrid developed by Rever Games and published with support from Radical Theory, is now available on Steam Early Access. In this unique dungeon-crawler, players step into a world where their village has been destroyed by the hordes of Destiny. A mystical clock forces endless loops through past massacres, with time serving as the ultimate limited resource. Players must fight through memory dungeons filled with danger, engaging in fast-paced visceral combat that blends steel and magic against Destiny's servants. The game masterfully combines roguelite elements with deep RPG progression, allowing heroes to gather resources, unlock powerful weapons, spells, and defenses while optimizing runs across shifting landscapes.
As runs progress, survival time unlocks permanent bonuses or devastating powers that enhance character builds and strategies. Every choice matters in balancing precious time against raw firepower and lethality. The core loop involves diving into dungeons to grow stronger, then returning to defend the village during intense invasion phases. This synergy between dungeon crawling and village defense creates a fresh take on the genre, where adaptation, learning from deaths, and strategic mastery are essential to break the cycle and save kin. Developed in Unreal Engine 5, Clockfall emphasizes polished mechanics, bold artistic vision, and player-focused design from the experienced Swiss indie studio Rever Games.
Early Access enables ongoing community feedback to refine gameplay balance, economy, and features, with regular updates, hotfixes, and content additions planned per the roadmap. Full console release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S is targeted for 2027. Key features include time-bending mechanics, hybrid dungeon crawler and action-RPG gameplay with village defense, deep character evolution, and roguelite replayability. Positive early reviews highlight the compelling time management and combat. Clockfall invites players to master the clock, break the loop, and experience high-impact entertainment that respects player time.
