Soy Boy Games, the indie studio behind cyberspace-themed roguelike, Hex Blast, have gathered their bits and bytes to make a new playable demo, now available on Steam!
The developers are shuffling the pack and mixing up the deckbuilding genre by fusing it with horde survival gameplay. In Hex Blast, you’ll choose from four deceptively adorable robots, using their abilities and your own, overpowered card combos, to absolutely obliterate approaching cyber(space) invaders.
Stack your deck and your computer’s defense with more than 200 cards and “relics,” with some cards being tied to each playable robot. Build beautifully broken strategies that utilize frost, earthquake, and poison status effects and overlap cards on the hex-based grid to maximize their damage and even set up chain reactions.
Clearing out the grid won’t be easy, though, as threats including adware, trojan horses, and more can rapidly multiply, mutate, and attack with unique patterns of their own. In numbers, these hordes can spell game over. Though, with endless replayability and runs that feel different every time, you can learn to outsmart them before they outplay you.
Key Features of Hex Blast
-
Wave After Wave: In horde survival gameplay, waves of cyber enemies will move across the dynamic hex-based grid to attack, mutating and growing in number and strength in order to take you down.
-
Gems Galore: Gather gems in each roguelike run to purchase overclocked computer chips, improving your hand’s firepower and allowing you to unleash even more deckbuilt devastation.
-
Is the Build Broken, Or Just Efficient?: Put your brilliant tactical mind to it, and build strategies and decks that are wonderfully overpowered. Including earthquake builds, ultra-defensive shields or something else entirely, you have the space to try out all manner of combos and ideas.
Hex Blast will be released on PC via Steam in 2025. A playable demo is now available.
Both the full game and demo are fully localized into French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Russian.
