One more year, here we are. The Steam Next Fest 2022 is already upon us, which translates into an ideal time to launch to try fabulous demos during the next few days. Innovative projects, established developers and all kinds of works are available.
From June 13 until June 20, there will be access to more than 1,000 demos at no cost or queues of any kind. On the other hand, the studios will be making live gameplays of their games and explaining many details. However, we have made you a good selection of the best that you can play in the Valve store.
UNDETECTED
The name leaves no room for doubt. UNDETECTED It is a espionage work that cannot go unnoticed by the most obvious. Developer Antonio Freyre has created an homage to the Metal Gear saga and is scheduled to release it for all systems in Q4 2022.
Following in the footsteps of the comic-book cutscenes of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the story chronicles the odyssey of the American people as they find themselves displaced to Mexico. There, the rebel group Los Desplazados disappears without a trace and it is up to Tenoch Kaan to go to the Chicxulub Perpetual Energy Station to rescue them.
Overhead perspective, enemies with cone of vision, first person view without being able to move and a endless references that we can find at a glance. In the demo we can test the first bars of the adventure.
Metal: Hellsinger
If you like DOOM, you’re going to have a blast like a pig in the mud. In Metal Hellsinger You have to go into battle against the demonic hordes without any compassion, but keeping in mind one fundamental aspect: the rhythm of the music.
That’s right, we are facing a rhythmic FPS in which we will have to calculate the times to hit and maximize the damage. The tracks come from metal legends like Serj Tankian from system of a DownMatt Heafy from Trivium or Michael Stanne from Dark Tranquility. In addition, if we manage to raise the fury level to the maximum, we will be able to hear the thunderous voices of the singers.
Troy Baker gives voice to the narration of a demo in which we can check the chaos that we can carry out. The most powerful weapons of hell, at our disposal.
Cult of the Lamb
We are now going to talk about Devolver Digital, so you have to put all five senses into any work of the publisher. In this case they support the new work of Massive Monster, which allows us to control a lamb possessed by the hosts of hell.
We are about to be sacrificed, but demonic intervention saves us in exchange for us creating a sect in their honor. We will do it with pleasure and based on blows, with a dynamic gameplay that allows us to recruit faithful for our cause.
In addition, the visual section is a delight, adding the fact that the scenarios are procedurally generated. On August 11 we will enjoy the full version.
Terra Nil
In many management games, war and conflict play an essential role. However, Terra Nil is committed to a totally and absolutely ecological perspective. The demo leaves you wanting much more and can be a really worrying well of hours.
Really nice, here you will have to use all kinds of gadgets such as windmills, water tanks and other futuristic devices capable of generating grass, terraforming, creating furrows or burning everything if necessary. The goal is that nature spreads across a completely barren land.
Also sponsored by Devolver Digital, the work of Free Lives does not have a release date, but with this cover letter it has our full attention.
Escape Academy
We were able to test it a few weeks ago and this time it once again confirms the best possible sensations. Escape Academy is iam8bit’s first title as publisher and the choice has been fabulous. As you can imagine, the idea is run away from all kinds of escape room.
And it is that we will arrive at a school with picturesque teachers who will complicate each stay to get the best of ourselves. Skill is not measured here, but logic challenges along with brain teasers. In the demo we can test the first bars of the work.
On July 14 it will appear before us and in this test we can already try one of its star formats such as multiplayereither locally or online.
blocky dungeon
Another old acquaintance that we highly recommend. Blocky Dungeon is one of those crazy combinations that appear when you least expect it. What would a roguelike RPG game with Tetris look like? Here is the result.
It’s a demo, but we can practically get the most out of a project that first saw the light on itch.io. SquareAnon doesn’t guarantee a release date, saying only that it will appear “when it’s ready.” The truth is can’t do anything but improve with such a solid base.
Do Not Feed The Monkeys 2099
Sequel to the 2018 hit, Do Not Feed The Monkeys 2099 shows us how terrible we can be at people watching. Because yes, the human being is a textbook gossip and we cannot resist good gossip.
In this futuristic version we add a couple of technological instruments that support us when it comes to seeing what the monkeys are doing in their cages. The Primate Watching Club it will prevail economically if we manage to reveal different data of each scenario.
However, it may not be the life we want to have and we can choose other more boring but honorable jobs. You will be able to find out sometime in the fall of 2022.
Anger Foot
The Free Lives studio gives the studio plenty of time to shape some really fun madness. If before we talked about ecology, now we will anthropomorphic reptiles eat our shoes based on good kicks.
In Anger Foot We will find ourselves in what could be said to be a first-person version of Hotline Miami. Destroy absolutely everything with very hard kicks, send the enemies you cross into the air and complete each level in the shortest time possible.
Continuous against the clock in which we will add weapons such as the pistol to the formula and that will make we itch a lot to improve our records. Next year, the full version.
NAIAD
We go to the other side of the shore and never better said. In NAIAD we forget about the shots to live a relaxing adventure, full of color and in which exploration prevails. The only objective is to complete challenges as endearing as bringing a family of ducks together. In a few months it will appear on Steam in its definitive edition.
bonus ball
Agent 64: Spies Never Dies
We’re still waiting for Microsoft to finally release what looks like the GoldenEye 007 remaster, but we can always settle for a high-end replacement. Even emulating the graphics of the Nintendo 64, the demo of Agent 64: Spies Never Dies It is an obvious tribute to one of the most legendary FPS in history.
