DEMONS Is Taking Part In Next Fest!
Our release to Early Access is fast approaching on March 25th (wishlist us now if you want to get ahead of the game!), but before then you'll have the chance to try out our demo during Steam Next Fest. What can you expect from the demo? Read on to find out...
Five Demons to Challenge
If you've taken part in our playtests over the last year then these terrifying faces will be familiar to you already, but if you're joining us for the first time then meet the demons!
As you can see from the rules text on the cards, each demon presents a unique challenge when you play against it. The different effects they have on the rules of the game mean that it's a good plan to prepare to play against each of them separately by making the most of your Perk card picks. Luckily we've introduced 5 new perks to give you more choice than ever before about what kind of strategy you want to use against these fiendish adversaries...
Five New Perks
Most of our playtests have only featured our original 5 perks, but recently we've added these 5 new ones too. For this demo they will be unlockable using Fate Tokens in the Fate Store. Perks like Last Hope and Lucky Find help you get the altars you need to win that may have been lost to the discard pile or be hiding behind demon or cultist cards at a location. Distraction is a neat way to temporarily take a cultist out and secure a location for investigation. Pay the Devil and Generous open up new options for how you make use of the valuable item cards you equip during the game.
If you're a newcomer to DEMONS you're now up to speed on what's been happening with the game recently and the basics of what you'll find in our Next Fest demo. Read on to find out about a brand new, never before seen feature, coming to the game for the first time ever with this demo...
Character Card Effects
Fresh into the Fate Store for this demo are character card effects. These fun cosmetic skins for your character cards will offer a way to show off your style to team-mates. This 'star performance' effect is just one option - expect to find a few choices waiting for you in the demo. Remember, all our cosmetics are unlockable with in-game currency - we have nothing in the Fate Store that costs real world money!
A Mysterious Clue Appears...
You've already seen the 5 demons we're featuring for our Next Fest demo, but when we release to Early Access on March 25th another 3 demons will be joining them in the game. I've been digging through the dusty DEMONS vaults, looking for clues to share with you as to the identity of one of these as yet unseen terrifying tormentors and have found this mysterious card. It appears to be missing it's rules text, but the image alone is quite tantalizing...
What mystical power might this Time Lock hold? What kind of demon might it accompany? Tell us your guess on what it's game effect will be in the comments, or better still join our friendly group of demon hunters in our Discord community by clicking the link below and share your theories there...
