One Step From Eden features grid-based movement and combat mechanics similar to Mega Man Battle Network series, alongside deck-building gameplay and choice-based story progression. It received mostly positive reviews upon release, with praise for its visuals, combat, and controls, and criticism for its multiplayer mode and high difficulty.
Development
Development of the game began in April 2016, with Thomas Moon Kang naming the "Megaman Battle Network sized void that no other game could fill" as reason for creating the title. Other inspirations for One Step From Eden include FTL: Faster Than Light (2012) and Nuclear Throne (2015). The game was put on Kickstarter in January 2019, seeking $15,000 in funding, alongside a free demo featuring one zone and three bosses from the final game.[1] Although the developer has stated that even if the goal is not met, the development will continue, the campaign hit its target in two days; over time it also reached additional stretch goals to include a pet summoning mechanic, release the game on Nintendo Switch, and commission music from VA-11 Hall-A composer Michael Kelly.
In February 2020, publisher Humble Bundle announced it would publish One Step From Eden digitally on March 26, 2020 for previously promised Linux, macOS, Windows, and Nintendo Switch platforms.[2] The port for PlayStation 4 was released on June 14, 2020.[3] The game would later see a physical release by Flyhigh Works for Nintendo Switch in Japan on February 25, 2021,[4] and is planned to be released physically for both consoles by Limited Run Games in North America.[5]
