For Release 7/06/2022
Israel - June 13, 2022 - Solo developer David Vinokurov is excited to participate in Steam Next Fest with the updated demo of his upcoming tactical roguelite Netherguild.
Stock up on supplies and prepare to head to your next expedition between the 13th-20th of June 2022.
The demo of the game will stay available after the Next Fest too, to give players who missed it a chance to check out the game and voice their feedback.
New additions to the demo include:
Visual effects (optional) which greatly enhance the look of the game
Stronger, re-balanced loot and equipment.
Polish and bug-fixing for a smoother experience.
In Netherguild, the player commands expeditions into the subterranean realm with the goal of finding the Gaians, an ancient civilization and long lost ally, and asking them for a cure to a plague that's ravaging the land.
The demo features:
Turn based combat that gets more intense the further you delve.
Underground text based encounters provide you with choices and opportunities that affect your expedition.
Resource Management over the course of your runs, in the form of HP, food (which provides healing when eaten around bonfires as well as buffs and debuffs), and limited use abilities.
Random characters: 4 classes with at least 3 backgrounds each. Different backgrounds mean different skill trees, character personalities and more.
Original fantasy world: Low fantasy with no magic, but balanced rather than dark and gritty.
Cute & Unique Voxel Aesthetic
After the Steam Next Fest, the developer plans to upgrade the demo even more according to player feedback (which you can submit via a form in the game or at the Discord!) as well working on the new areas in the game, which will be playable in early access in Q3-4.
Check out the demo on PC / Linux and wishlist Netherguild on Steam here!
