We don’t yet have the full list of demos coming to the Steam Game Festival. However, a few neat ones were announced over the past few days. Most importantly,Windjammers 2is making an appearance. If you’ve never playedWindjammers, please do yourself a favor and check out Dotemu’s sequel.
Another great-looking game to keep an eye on isFights in Tight Spaces. Visually, it will remind you ofSUPERHOT, but it uses turn-based deckbuilding for its gameplay. Man, that game looks rad.
Inkle, the devs behind80 DaysandHeaven’s Vaultis also bringing their turn-based RPGPendragonto the event. We’re also getting demos forGenesis Noir, The Iron Oath, andMonster Crown. Plus, tons more that haven’t been announced.
Outside of the demos, Steam is also promising some developer chats and live streams. It’s not completely clear what form this will take. That said, I would assume devs will stream their demos alongside the event and maybe take part in some interviews. We’ll know more soon.
The Steam Game Festival - Summer Edition officially kicks off at 10 AM PST today and runs through June 22. If you’re looking to get that E3-like feeling off actually getting hands-on with some of the best upcoming titles, this is your chance. If The Game Awards lineup is anything to go on, this is going to be something you don’t want to miss.
