Stonewards Wiki - FAQ
How many players can play together?
1-4 players in co-op, confirmed as fully playable solo as well.
What is the core gameplay loop?
A three-phase cycle: dig through procedurally generated 3D mines for metals, forge those resources into upgrades, then defend the bastion and its King through the next wave of monsters -- with a real time-pressure element, since returning late from the mines leaves your team fighting shorthanded.
Is there a demo available?
Not currently -- the original Steam demo was taken offline on July 11, 2026, with the developers explaining directly that the game had evolved past what the demo represented, and that focusing fully on Early Access polish was the priority for their small team.
How much does it cost?
$9.99 USD at Early Access launch on August 11, 2026, with regional pricing applied elsewhere.
Will the developers take community feedback after launch?
Yes -- Banana Tiger Studio has committed to running regular community polls and surveys post-launch, letting players vote directly on future content priorities and balance adjustments.
How popular is the game ahead of launch?
Genuinely significant for a small team -- Stonewards surpassed 100,000 wishlists ahead of its Early Access release, a milestone the developers themselves called "completely mind-blowing."
