Crystal Harvest: Apex Operator Demo Out Now!

Hi everyone,I'm excited to announce a new game set in the Operator universe, called Crystal Harvest: Apex Operator!In Crystal Harvest: Apex Operator you play as an operator sent to various planets to mine crystals and fight off Telkar hordes. A lot of familiar faces are returning, ready to be stomped on! Upgrade your suit, weapons and call in support in the Roguelike mixed with Survivorlike mixed with Mining game. Suit up, head out!

The demo is out now and ready to be played here :

Crack, mine, and sell mystical crystals while fighting alien hordes on various planets in this fast-paced incremental mining extraction roguelite hybrid experience. Earn currency to spend across upgrade categories with permanent progression and powerful builds in runs.


Ready to face off against the Telkar again? This time - theres alot more money to be made!

The demo has 2 playable maps and over 50 unlockable permanent upgrades! The demo features over 10 enemies with melee and ranged enemies thrown in! Can you survive the Telkar hordes and still find time to crack some crystals?

The first map is a small area with limited crystals that guides you into the mechanics and setting of the game. Set on Iskur, a small golden planet with a decent amount of oxygen, it wont be much of a threat! However, step into Nyxara and things change fast! Limited oxygen, dangerous zones and hgordes of enemies swarm you fast! Can you still make a profit in these harsh conditions? Time will tell!The game demo has around 2-4 hours of gameplay now and serves as a good idea of what the full game will offer, but with alot of content limited or not available in the demo.

So, try out the demo and wishlist the game if you enjoyed it!


See you on the surface, operator!
