GEARSHIFTERS - Gamescom Demo

Hi and happy Gamescom!

The Gearshifters demo is active again through Gamescom and the coming weekend. This will be the LAST time that the demo is playable before the game releases.

A language select has been added to the main menu so, in addition to English, you can play in any of the languages that will be supported by the full game at launch:

  • Français
  • Italiano
  • Deutsch
  • Español
  • Português
  • Русский
  • 日本語
  • 简体中文


For those of you who have played before and want to play again, there are a few small changes:

  • Boss difficulty lowered slightly
  • Added the "oil slick countermeasure" charge ability for you to unlock and try out
  • Usability options: Damage scale (for difficulty tweaking - even to make it tougher if you want!) and Camera Shake
  • A few minor bugfixes


The last few weeks of work for me have been mainly focused on the console versions. That means the demo hasn't changed substantially from its last outing. But, I'm back onto PC/Steam work now on the run up to release, and hopefully I'll be able to post a couple of dev updates along the way to give you some hints about what to expect in the full game.

Cheers,
Richard (Red Phantom Games)

Go to Options -> Usability -> Story Dialogue and turn the checkbox off if you don't want them to appear.

This will be the last major update for the foreseeable future because I'm working on a new game, and "Gearshifters" has been out for nearly 2 years now.
