One Step From Eden is a roguelike action video game created by American independent developer Thomas Moon Kang, and published by Humble Bundle. Following a successful crowdfunding campaign, it was released for Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch in March 2020, and later ported to PlayStation 4 in June 2020, and Xbox One in November 2021.

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.[1] The theme and feel were in part influenced by The World Ends With You (2007); the title "One Step From Eden" is also a reference to the game.[2] Other inspirations during development include FTL: Faster Than Light (2012), Nuclear Throne (2015), and Slay the Spire (2019).

The game was put on Kickstarter on January 3, 2019, seeking $15,000 in funding, alongside a free demo featuring one zone and three bosses from the final game.[3] 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.[4] The port for PlayStation 4 was released on June 14, 2020.[5] The game would later see a physical release by Flyhigh Works for Nintendo Switch in Japan on February 25, 2021,[6] and is planned to be released physically for both consoles by Limited Run Games in North America.[7] The Xbox One version was announced in October 2021.[8] It is set to release on November 11, 2021, and will be added to the Xbox Game Pass service for console and PC on the same date.[9]
