Whether on the deck or not ; I personally haven't tried any on the deck yet, but I downloaded about 40 demos or so, Tails of Iron 2 and Airborne Empire were good fun, The Alters and Tactical Breach Wizards completely hooked me!

Oh you're right thanks for the correction !

Nice list, definitely gonna download some of these demos.

The Alters looks really cool, and What the Car seems like a fun time.

I've been looking around for demos that would actually be more fun to play on the deck than playing on my PC. Right now I'm eyeing up one called Combat Complex that is a twin-stick shooter ARPG with shooting mechanics that look really juicy! I'm hoping to get it installed tomorrow and give it a shot 🤩

Riven

[–] Kyle@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This demos so well! I played the original 1997 Riven, I hope 2024 Riven can make an impression on newcomers!

It's so deep, expansive and immersive and I'm not sure if there is anything else out there that has the same feel.

I'm waiting with baited breath for Exile. That one was probably my favorite.

[–] Kyle@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

I loved exile so much! It was made by pesto studios and I feel like cyan wouldn't want to make any of the non cyan Myst games. However they sought after and received the rights to all of the Myst games. So who knows, maybe they would.

Veritus, Arranger, The Last Moon, Mythmatch, Schim, On Your Tail, Pipistrello, Kitsune Tails.

I've been having a good time with Heart of the Machine, in which you play as a nascent AI figuring out how to survive in a sprawling cyberpunk city.

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

Enotria: The Last Song, it's a soulslike set in colourful Italy, basically. Has some interesting mechanics for how builds and loadouts work.

Though I wasn't able to play through the entire demo because I'm starved for video memory

[–] threeduck@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My games on Next Fest! It's called Game Over, it's a rhythm-combat RPG and the demo is basically a stand alone free game with its own story. Please try it!

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 2 points 5 months ago

Oh that's cool, I'll give it a try, thanks for sharing!!
