Might as well wait with only a couple weeks until release now. Unless early access is being sold for a discount.

early access had one day when it was very cheap during steam sale. I have to say having followed the steam forum for this game; it has been amazingly positive. It is not exactly the sort of game i like (bit linear; lack of general rpg exploration) but for the type of game it is the response has been very positive. I'll probably pick it up just to support the compnay.

Perhaps because I do not have adventure game experience and contrary to others criticism, I found the narrative quite engaging and and unexpected bonus to the fun combat I was experiencing.
I have not played it since, because I want the full experience now.

After the E.A. the game will be significantly more expensive.
What i can tell you is that game feels quite finished so far.

At 25$ the early access seems like a rather good deal rather than 39.99$ at launch…The game will be to be almost 40% cheaper to make it as good a deal. That will happen eventually, but will likely take a little while before it hits such a price.

I didn't realize it was NOT released on Mac yet when I bought it … until I finally got around to try to play a week or so ago. No biggie - I got it on the big sale, and now it is installing on my Mac and I can check it out.

Daedalic is indeed a company that deserves our support. They published so many gems in the last two years. They reanimated the whole point&click adventure genre (Thanks for that!) and now they proofed that they can handle a roundbased strategy RPG as well! Two thumbs up! I can't wait for the final chapter.
