Evaluation

Histera launched into Early Access on June 20, 2024 as a free-to-play multiplayer arena shooter. At launch, the developer published a roadmap and committed to releasing 7 new weapons within the first two months, with additional Eras, game modes, and features to follow during Early Access. They stated their intention to release the full 1.0 version approximately 6–12 months after the Early Access launch — putting the expected 1.0 window between December 2024 and June 2025. After launch, the developer issued two patches in late June and early July 2024, with the last communication being a hotfix on July 10, 2024 that added two new weapons. Since that date, there have been no further updates, announcements, or developer posts of any kind. The promised 1.0 release window has now passed without any update or explanation. The game is also no longer available for purchase on Steam — a significant red flag for an Early Access title still nominally in development. The combination of complete developer silence since July 10, 2024, a missed self-imposed release milestone, and the removal of purchase options raises serious concerns about whether active development is continuing.

About this game

BATTLE THROUGH TIME

Battle with weapons from the past, present and future as you compete to master the Glitch. The Glitch will change the battlefield around you shifting between Eras as the bullets fly! One moment you’ll be taking the high ground in a prehistoric valley, only for the ground to shift under your feet, transforming into a tightly packed WW2 warehouse or a gleaming high-tech city street… and more locations are coming.

EVERY WEAPON HAS A TIME AND PLACE

…and that includes you.

Choose your weapon loadout carefully as every Era has unique strengths and weaknesses when it comes to their weaponry, allowing for some Era-defying synergies. Compliment your anti-tank rifle with some flint throwing knives or your assault rifle with a… prehistoric poison shotgun?! Fight as part of a team and prove yourself in competitive team deathmatches and territory control.

THE GLITCH WELCOMES ALL

Histera is an arena shooter accessible for players of all skill levels. The game is free-to-play and won’t feature any pay-to-win systems, so everyone will be able to jump right in! However, those who are skilled enough may attempt to take the fight to the Glitch itself for powerful rewards.
