Transcendental revelations beckon this Steam Next Fest in what we hope will be considered one of the most generous demos available during the event. The demo for Empyreal, the complex and challenging action RPG from independent developer Silent Games, offers potentially hours of content, including the game’s character customisation tool, instant access to all three weapon classes and playstyles, a wide selection of playable levels, a combat training ground, and access to the game’s hub where players can meet Empyreal’s cast of characters.
The demo also boasts an exclusive feature: quick access to three different endgame gear sets, letting players sample a small subset of high-level weapons, equipment, and Abilities. These are typically reserved only for those approaching the game’s conclusion but can be equipped after completing the demo’s introductory level.
While waiting for the single-player demo to download, be sure to read up on the “Five Things You Need To Know Before You Play” developer blog, and then check out the latest entry in Silent Games’ behind-the-scenes video series, in which the team talks about the loot and progression systems, upcoming asynchronous cooperative features, buildcrafting, trading, and combat Abilities.
