Olympus 2249 Early Access: Worth $20 Now or Wait?
Reception checked:
Reasons to buy in Early Access
- ✅ Every planned system is already in: Karma, paired attributes, specializations, crafting, stealth, storms
- ✅ Built for replays: the developers point to different builds and Karmic Types on a second and third run
- ✅ The studio plans to raise the price as content arrives, so $20 is the lowest planned price
- ✅ The team already shipped a full Fallout 2 total conversion, Olympus 2207
Reasons to wait for 1.0
- ❌ Only Act 1 of 3; the studio says Early Access may last 18 to 24 months
- ❌ No permanent companions or party, only temporary ones for some quests and raids
- ❌ Some languages were machine translated; proofreading comes later
- ❌ Windows only, and no Steam Deck rating yet
