BALL x PIT Demo on Steam

Get a taste of BALL x PIT, a brick-breaking, ball-fusing, base-building survival roguelite. Batter hordes of enemies with ricocheting balls and gather the riches of the pit to expand your homestead, generate resources and recruit unique heroes in this hair-raising demo.

I played a little bit of this demo today. Then I played a bunch more and finished the demo level with all three available characters.

Really satisfying game. It took a bit to properly understand how to use the fusion/evolution mechanic to its fullest, but at my last run I was freezing the entire front row of enemies half the time while another ball bounced back and forth through all enemies doing AoE damage, all while I was juggling between picking up XP and catching balls so I could shoot them again more quickly.

I messed around with the demo for Stellar Blade last night

Pre-purchase Stellar Blade™ on Steam

Save humanity from extinction in post-apocalyptic action-adventure Stellar Blade™. Experience blistering combat and a twisting storyline as you unravel the mysteries of Earth’s downfall.

It's an action-adventure. Combat was fun and there was even a little exploration (basically, hidden little side paths to a little treasure). I'm not done with the demo yet - I don't know how long it will last. I hope it will be long enough to get a grip on the story.

People are calling it a souls-like, but they seem to call anything a souls-like these days. It's simply another action-adventure game, only with a supermodel protagonist.
