A Bit Too Far is out now in early access

The developers will be showing off the game in alivestream on TwitchandSteamfrom 12pm PST / 8pm GMT this evening if you want to see more of it in action. They’ll be going through the campaign and new daily challenge mode during the two-hour presentation, and if there’s time, they’ll also open up the battlefield for some ‘beat the devs’ PvP challenges, they said in aSteam blog postearlier this week.

Even though it’s only just launched into early access, it has full Steam Workshop integration for downloading more maps and mods - and if you fancy creating your own, you can also upload them to share with mates, too.

Other new improvements over its predecessor include a new veterancy system to help level up your army, more challenging AI opponents, and those aforementioned naval battles. You can also build (and destroy) bridges now, as well as “mega-sized and extra-deadly” superstructures inside your base to really do some damage to your opponents.

Petroglyph can’t say how long they plan to stay in early access at the moment, but “the core game is largely in place, with both factions fully playable and a full campaign to play through,” according to the Steam page. “We plan to add more online game features, a second campaign, more weekly challenges, and expect to incorporate suggestions and bug fixes discovered between early access and our full launch.”

For now, you can check it out onSteam, where it’s currently enjoying an introductory 10% offer to bring its price to £15/€17/$18.
