If you’re on the hunt for a new roguelite shooter to play with your bestie, then look no further than Swapmeat, which just got a confirmed Early Access release date later this month and a new demo for Steam Next Fest. Busy times over at One More Game.

The demo is live now on Steam (Mac, Win) ahead of the upcoming Next Fest event, so you can even try before you buy. Said demo will be available until October 20th, at which point it’ll be shelved ahead of the Early Access launch.

The demo will include the following content:

  • The Tutorial and Solar System 1 (Act 1) – After a short tutorial, you’ll traverse three planets containing a number of random events, a mini-boss, and the final boss of the first act.
  • Level up to Employee Rank 10
  • Unlock all 9 different weapon platforms
  • Unlock and configure the 9 different weapon upgrade grids up until Employee Rank 10
  • Fight over 30 unique enemies with three different tiers of difficulty

Swapmeat will arrive in Early Access on October 21st, and there’s good news for anyone who grabs it during this phase of its development, as they will be getting the Founder’s Edition.

This version includes a second copy of the game (for the bestie I mentioned up top), as well as the B-Sides Soundtrack, and a cosmetics set. I dread to think what a cosmetic set in a game about random body parts will look like, but nevertheless we’re getting one.

Finally, there’s a new trailer below, if you enjoy watching such things, otherwise stay tuned for more on Swapmeat in the weeks ahead.
