Steam Next Fest demo 🌀
A lot has changed already since our reveal trailer! This new purpose-built early alpha demo for the Steam Next Fest is a fantastic taster for the full game experience.
Try out a section of the standard game mode of our vibrant, fast-paced, kickass arena shooter, then jump into the all-new Survival mode – a hectic, heart-pumping trial of action and wits. How long can you survive?
To celebrate the demo’s launch, developer Hannes Rahm will be playing live for roughly 2 hours on June 13th, 6pm BST, sharing insights into its development, design, and answering questions live. If you missed it, don’t worry – the stream will reroll at the top of the Steam page for the remainder of the week.
Don’t forget to wishlist the game if you like it – the Almighty Algorithm™ really helps us out when you do. 🙏
✅ As this is a demo, you’ll be jumping straight into the action. Here’s some quick tips to help you along your way:
- Some spells can be charged up. Try holding the spell buttons down
- You can only fire one spell at a time. Release the button to be able cast another one
- You move slowly while casting, so timing is key
- Choose an upgrade when you level up to help survive for longer
- To level up, make sure you’re picking up gold (those lil yellow cubes)
- Your dash spell makes you briefly invulnerable. Use it a lot
- Some upgrades upgrade a single spell, while some upgrade your character’s abilities
- Press Tab or [View] button on your controller to pause and see info on your spells and upgrades
