The Demo is Coming!

Ward Off Evil Demo · published 21 May 2026, 10:06 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everyone!

The last few weeks have been incredibly busy for us. Following the fantastic reception of the early build at the One More Game expo, we returned to work with double the motivation and a ton of valuable feedback from you, the players. Today, we have some great news!

We are putting the finishing touches on our demo and plan to release it on Steam within a week or two!

Currently, we are focusing on polishing the balance, making final tweaks, and squashing bugs to ensure our harsh, dark world welcomes you in the best possible shape. You will be able to experience firsthand:

  • Character creation.

  • A combat system featuring a wide array of skills, encompassing both magic and swordplay.

  • 4 complete locations.

  • A world map divided into distinct biomes, waiting to be explored.

  • An army management system, including upkeep, recruitment, and the strategic placement of units on the battlefield.

  • An in-depth RPG system with stats, talents, perks, and items.

  • Quests and random encounters in the desert that will reveal some of the mysteries shrouding our world.

What can you do right now?

Add the game to your Wishlist if you haven't already—it is the best way to get notified the exact moment the demo drops.

Stay tuned to our announcements, as we will be revealing the exact release date very soon!

Thank you for your continued support and patience. Ready your swords and axes—we will see you on the battlefield soon!
