Moon Watch has a Steam Demo: A survivors-like deck-builder where time is movement from the creators of Backpack Hero.
From Backpack Hero’s “depraved, genre-muddling scientists” comes… it’s hard to explain – inspired by Vampire Survivors, Slay the Spire, and a good dose of SUPERHOT.
Rock Paper Shotgun just called it a “sadistic reversal of the premise”.
In Moon Watch:
Time is movement – think strategically, dodge gingerly, laugh the horde in its face.
Deckbuilding is power – garlic, golden garlic, lightning, turrets, teleports, devastating synergies.
Survival is your goal – outlast hordes of space-undead, slay mighty vampire bosses.
If you joined the earlier demo playtest, good news: now there’s Double. The first Big Demo Update is out on Steam, featuring: Acts One and Two – beat the first boss, then the second BOSSER BOSS. New run rewards – win or lose, earn new cards, challenge runs, funky starter decks. Randomized runs – now with more than one permutation, expect the unexpected! More – abilities, powers, game-twisting relics, and op synergies. Better – tons of fixes and improvements, playtesting is good investing Moon Watch comes to Steam Early Access later this year, but until then – experience tons of new stuff in the Living Demo, so keep an eye out for more updates |
