Ex Sanguis launches in Early Access on May 21

The turn-based strategy game Ex Sanguis will become available on PC through Steam in Early Access on May 21st, according to publisher Firesquid and developer Lightbulb Crew.

The initial version of the game, available through Early Access, will be completely playable with the main gameplay features and several hours of content. The complete release will expand on this with more content, better balance, new features, and a refined overall experience – and might even include new ways to play. We anticipate the game will be in Early Access for at least six months, but this could shift depending on what players think and how development goes.

Here is an overview of the game, via Firesquid:

About

Answer the Mater’s desperate call and command your Stillae, powerful warriors who represent the last glimmer of hope for this world. Lead them in a battle against the forces of Stasis to revive life and save a world on the brink of destruction!

Your Perfect Plan

Carefully plan each turn in exciting, strategic battles, and set off powerful sequences of events to dominate the battlefield.

  • Use Timeline Effects to speed up, delay or swap time position to impact turn order and outsmart your enemies.
  • Play with your surroundings that can explode, ignite enemies, or block sight… changing the outcome of the battles
  • Leverage physical effects like knock backs, forced facings, flanking bonuses, and damage-over-time to dominate every encounter.
  • Your team.

Progress at Your Pace

  • Choose your own path, your own difficulty through the map.
  • Take on high-risk, high-reward missions, head straight for boss encounters, or slow down to gather resources to increase your chance of success.
  • All missions contribute to gradual progress and reflect the type of experience you decide.

A Roguelite Loop Adapted to Turn-Based Combat

  • Adapt to random skill drops by combining them with your unique load outs generating different synergies.
  • Breeze through the procedural levels to beat unique bosses and understand the world in Stasia.
  • Even if you fail a mission, some progress is rewarded.

A Crimson Rebellion

After the Purge left the world desolate, every act of resistance is marked by bloodshed. Each drop of blood is a bold statement, a reminder that life refuses to be extinguished. It’s not simply violence; it’s a vibrant uprising against a bleak and faded world.
