The free public demo for Critternauts is now live! Critternauts is a retro-style JRPG in a modern setting, featuring turn-based combat, a world-spanning main quest and exploration, ton of side quests and optional content, loot, a tiny bit of metroidvania (you can unlock special skills to access certain areas all over the game), creature hunting (learn unique spells from critters!) and powerful bosses. In this standalone demo, you can play through the game’s first mission shortly after the prologue. Join the Critternauts alongside their new remote android ally Archie as they investigate mysterious Critter activity in a coastal town in Italy. While searching for clues connected to the disappearance of the main character's parents, the team begins uncovering something much bigger hiding beneath the surface... The demo contains roughly one hour (30 mins if you rush it) of gameplay and includes:
Exploration
Turn-based combat
Dungeon crawling
Low-level loot and a level cap of 16
Mini-boss encounters
The full game will feature:
A world-spanning adventure
More than a dozen real world locations, some really huge
Hundreds of enemies and bosses
Optional dungeons and endgame content
Side quests and hidden encounters
Level cap: 99
A much deeper sci-fi mystery surrounding the Critters and the ancient portals
This demo is an early look at the game, and some visuals, mechanics, balancing, sound effects, and content may change during development. Hope you enjoy it!
