If you’ve ever wanted to wield a magical sword, a tennis racket, or even a shark in battle, Swordcery might be your next obsession.
Developer Temple Door Games—founded by two cinematic animators who worked on God of War (2018)—has unveiled a brand-new playable demo for Steam Next Fest, giving players an early taste of its fast-paced roguelike action-RPG.
In Swordcery, every blade comes packed with its own magical ability, known as a “Swordcery.” One weapon might let you fling your sword like a boomerang, while another calls down lightning strikes or summons icy swordflakes for protection. Combined with responsive hack-and-slash combat and roguelike progression, the result is a delightfully chaotic adventure where no two runs feel the same.
Players step into the boots of Colt, an unlikely hero tasked with stopping a celestial corruption that’s raining enchanted blades across the kingdom of Armorial. Along the way, they’ll discover new Sword Classes, unlock powerful upgrades, collect relics, and battle through procedurally generated dungeons packed with dangerous foes and towering bosses.
The best part? There’s a sword for every playstyle—and probably a few you’ve never imagined.
The Swordcery demo is available now ahead of Steam Next Fest, giving players a chance to experience its magical mayhem firsthand.
