Next Fest is HERE — Thank You, Forgemasters!

Forgemasters,

Steam Next Fest is officially underway and GridHammer is in the fire. Whether you're placing your first plate or chasing a six-game streak against the AI — welcome to the forge.

What's in the Demo

• Full battle system against AI opponents across three difficulty tiers

• All five Houses to discover: Stillforge, Runeweaver, Embercrest, Stoneheart, and Shadowmine

• A full original soundtrack — with in-game music controls so you can skip, pause, and restart tracks mid-match

The Road to Early Access

Your matches are already shaping what comes next. The first order of business for EA: fully operational Steam Leaderboards. Track your streaks, high scores, and biggest combos — and see how you stack up against every other player at the forge.

This is just the beginning. Early Access will bring the Lexicon, cosmetic progression, and more — but leaderboards come first. Every match you play in the demo helps us stress-test the systems that will carry into the full game.

Help Us Out

If you're enjoying the demo, the single biggest thing you can do is:

• Wishlist GridHammer on Steam

• Leave a review on the demo page

• Tell a friend who likes card games

Every wishlist and review directly shapes our visibility on Steam and helps more players find the forge.

See you at the anvil.

— The GridHammer Team
