The previous game in the series, Relic Hunters Zero, was a 100% free-to-play, open-sourced game on Steam that boasted an engaged community of over a million players around the world. Rogue Snail is now fully focused on expanding the Relic Hunters universe to a full commercial release.

Honest free-to-play model: we want to make a great game for everyone, not nickel-and-dime you! Run and gun online with friends in full 3D environments, with smart enemies, cool abilities and items! Collect hundreds of items, hunters and relics, and customize your perfect relic-hunting machine!

Brazilian indie game development studio Rogue Snail officially launches their Kickstarter campaign, looking for $50,000, to finish up development on Relic Hunters Legend.

The game will go Free-to-Play in 2019 when it leaves Early Access. Backing the campaign will allow players to play the game as early as possible, participate in development, earn a bunch of cool stuff, and help the developers stay independent. To be transparent and clear with the monetization aspects of the game, the game's creator, Mark Venturelli, has written a Free-to-Play Manifesto.
