Hello Wizards!
Steam Next Fest is officially here, and the Runeveil demo is live!
Before you jump into the Arena, we want to take a moment to say a massive thank you. Your detailed feedback via the in-game form and all the bug reports on our Discord have been absolutely incredible. You have directly shaped Runeveil into the version you are playing today, and we truly couldn't have done it without you.
We wanted to make sure this Next Fest demo is packed with enough content to give you a deep, highly replayable taste of the full experience. Here is exactly what is waiting for you in the demo:
🔥🌿 2 Playable Wizards: Master the elements with the Fire and Nature Wizards.
🏰 2 Unique Arenas: Challenge the punishing domains of Sloth and Lust.
👹 30+ Enemies to battle and overcome.
🃏 100+ Fully Implemented Runes (including 60 unlockables to constantly expand your arsenal!).
🏺 50+ Artifacts to discover and build game-breaking synergies.
🧪 30+ Potions, Scrolls, and Enhancements to boost your runs.
We believe this demo offers hours of chaotic, combo-crafting fun that represents a huge core of the game. Dive in, experiment with your sequences, and let us know what crazy builds you discover!
