Okko The Exiled

Okko The Exiled

Okko The Exiled is a 2D side-scrolling action game: you play a white-haired warrior with oni horns, drag a huge club called Mighty Fang, and cut a path back toward Demon Lord Yalda.

This is an unofficial fan guide. We do not speak for Frozen Flame Interactive or Eastasiasoft Limited.

Out now, and what it costs

• Released on Steam 30 September 2026 at 9 AM ET / 3 PM CEST / 9 PM HKT.
• $14.99, with no launch discount. Checked on the US store on 1 October 2026.
• PC and Mac at launch. The developer says console versions arrive in 2027, with physical editions planned. No console build is listed today.
• The Original Soundtrack by Daniel Lippert sells separately at $7.99, and there is a game + soundtrack bundle at a discount.
• The Playtest existed and closed on 27 April 2025. Do not expect that build to still be joinable.

What to do first

1. Open the hub The Old Throne and learn the four hits the store actually names: stomp, launch, deflect, bash.
2. Watch the two meters on the top-left HUD. The blue bar is Dragon Break: fill it, then press Down + Special Attack for a heavy hit. The reddish bar is Heartbeat / Focus Energy: toggle Focus Mode with the Focus button for extra damage.
3. If enemies feel spongey, it is the heartbeat timing, not your gear. Attack as the heartbeat timer crosses 12 o'clock for a critical hit, and a timed hit also refills Heart Energy.
4. Treat Deevols as the key that opens the Underground, not as junk.
5. Open the Inventory screen. Item descriptions, lore Scrolls, upgrades, unlocked abilities, Deevol count and Pact slots all live there.
6. If you use a pad, bind it before you blame the first boss. After the 1 October 2026 hotfix, non-Xbox pads should not need Steam Input turned off in the Steam library.

What changed after launch

Official notes, 30 September – 15 October 2026:

• Live: Steam Input is fully supported (7 October) — customize controls and share layouts. If you disabled it early on over the non-Xbox double-input bug, re-enable it there.
• Live: the soft-locks are patched — dying while Inner Fire was active (2 October), or opening menus during resurrection (9 October).
• Live: both bugs flagged on 3 October are closed (8–9 October): no damage from a boss after it dies, and a proper respawn after death.
• Live: three small-fix batches ran 12–15 October; the developer says the planned list is done. Full list on the release date page.
