Join the Weapons Playtest

After extensive testing and feedback from the community, we are excited to officially launch our OPEN Pre-Alpha playtest!

How it works


We’re expecting to keep the playtest live for about one month as we work through some new additions.

This playtest will feature 3 environments:

  • Pond Ruins from Act 1
  • Mudwing Marsh from Act 2
  • The Henfields from Act 3

There are 25 different tiles spread across the 3 areas, and over a dozen different enemies to encounter.

This playtest gives us the opportunity to get some feedback, and gives you an early look at the upcoming demo!

For Returning Customers…


If you have played the game before, this playtest will primarily be focused on the newly introduced Weapon mechanic.

Weapons add an additional strategic layer to combat by enhancing combos with bonuses and multipliers. Each weapon will have unique interactions to interact with different gameplay styles! You’ll be able to acquire new weapons by defeating elite enemies and bosses. Between battles, you can update your equipment to try different strategies and test out new loot.

Weapons are divided into two tiers:

  • Common weapons, which add a straightforward bonus to combos–like the Katana, which gives 3 extra damage to diagonals.
  • Rare weapons, with game-changing abilities that can turn a battle around–if you can meet the requirements, that is.

Test your mettle (and metal) against the chickens and explore the abilities of the 9 new weapons. Share your thoughts in the Steam Discussions, through the in-game feedback form, or in our Discord community.

See you on the battlefield.
