Hi, Prospectors!

Legion is releasing next week, and we’re so excited that we’re updating the demo to give you all a taste of what we’ve been up to since the demo last year!

What’s Included in this Demo?

There will be things you are familiar with in the demo like the Dustbowl planet, Mikela, and some enemies, but you’ll notice that there’s a lot that’s changed since the demo last year, so let’s unpack that a bit.

First thing’s first, the progress you make in this updated demo will transfer over to the full game, so all of your hard work crushing Legion in the demo won’t go to waste!

During your first run, if you explore enough, you might find some Legion bases; you’ll be able to find lots of different rewards from these in the form of buffs and pickups, and defeating larger bases can provide rewards that will carry you all the way to the end of the run.

Expect hordes of new enemies, from the lowly Legion fodder, to Super Elite infantry with special attacks, and even a brand new boss to test your skill against.

Once you finish your first run, you’ll be able to spend the XP that you’ve gathered on different upgrades for Mikela’s tech, making it faster, stronger, and more versatile.

We’ve made many other tweaks that would be far too long a list to go into here, like: weapon arcs, control improvements, many more blocks, visual improvements, game-balance – so you’ll have to discover the rest for yourself.
