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!

I am your beast IS SUPER GOOD

Thoroughly enjoyed this. You may also enjoy severed steel.

Funny thing is i already beat severd steel, It is also a really good game!

Its like crack Its addicting

Wonderful! I don't suppose you've also checked out echopoint nova? the demo got another small update for this next fest

The demo was bloody great! I just wish there was a planed release date!

Severed steels good. But damn does Echopoint Nova feel good with the fps mechanics!

Nice list, definitely gonna download some of these demos.

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

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.

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.

I haven't had a chance to try the demo yet, but Old School Rally looks stellar.

It’s pretty good, I’m looking forward to the full game.

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 🤩

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!

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

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

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

I just finished the caravan demo and it was pretty fun. Ran perfectly ootb

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.
