The Steam Game Festival returns next week, which means there’s about to be a ton of new and free PC game demos to sink your gnashers into. Valve has unveiled details – in the form of a bunch of genre-specific trailers – highlighting some of the “over 500” demos on offer during the event, and there are plenty of RPG games, action-adventure games, horror games, strategy games, and – well, you get the idea. Oh, so many demos.
The Steam Game Festival February 2021 edition kicks off next week on February 3 at 18:00 GMT / 13:00 ET / 10:00 PT, bringing “over 500 demos across multiple genres, plus developer-hosted livestreams and chats”, as Valve announces in a press release. In the action category, the studio announces there will be demos for Almighty: Kill Your Gods, Bloodroots, Graven, Steel Assault, and Kingshunt among others, all of which you can take a peep at below.
RPG demos featured include No Place For Bravery – a 2D top-down RPG that sees “an old and ambitious warrior roam … a vicious war-torn world in search of his lost daughter” – as well as SNES-style JRPG 8-Bit Adventures 2 and multiplayer RPG-survival game Frozen Flame. Oh, and Unsouled, The Last Spell, and Trial of Ayash, too. Phew!
