If you’re looking for a single-player Mega Man Battle Network fix to go along with the EndCycle VS release from earlier this week, look no further than One Step From Eden. An MMBN-inspired indie game being developed by Thomas Moon Kang, One Step From Eden is a deckbuilding action roguelike with hectic real-time, grid-based combat. Battles take place on a larger 8×4 battlefield filled with enemies and fast, wide-range attacks. The game follows a group of characters as they try to reach Eden, humanity’s last hope after a war that ravaged the world.
To support the development of the game, One Step From Eden has launched a Kickstarter! The Kickstarter, which runs until February 3rd, 2019, has a goal of $15,000 with 10% already funded at the time of writing. Just $15 will net you a Steam copy of the game when it releases (expected to be in October 2019). Higher backing rewards include access to the closed beta, a digital artbook and soundtrack and even a plushie of the lead character Saffron. There are also a number of stretch goals planned, including a Nintendo Switch port.
One Step From Eden already has a free demo available, which you can find on the game’s itch.io page. Demo downloads and clears, as well as social media shares, will count towards a number of Kickstarter achievements including extra playable characters and worlds. For more info on that, make sure to check out the Kickstarter page.
