Fighting Game-Inspired Combo RPG “Designated Demigod” Pummels PC and Consoles in 2025

COLUMBUS, OH — May 8, 2024 — Designated Demigod, a turn-based combo RPG about stringing together flashy attacks, developed by AN Productions and published by Armor Games Studios, delivers a Spin Kick on consoles and PC via Steam in 2025.  

Orphaned by a catastrophic explosion at the Mountain Research Center 15 years earlier, protagonist Signy becomes suspicious when tremors re-emerge near her village. Convinced another disaster looms, Signy and her trusted pup Mino set out toward the research center where, unbeknownst to them, scientist Dr. Stelzer has awakened the resentful Mountain God, Auger.

Dance around in delightful combo-heavy combat, toggling between Signy and Mino as you fling foes into the air with Mino’s Nose Launch, unleash Signy’s blazing Firestorm, and deliver a devastating follow-up finisher. Execute intricately timed attacks, layering movesets to land the perfect blow and eliminate Dr. Stelzer’s underlings. Craft spectacular combos alongside your canine companion, with all of the fighting game flashiness in distinctly original turn-based RPG fashion.

Explore a vast overworld ripe with diverse biomes, navigating underground tunnels, scaling beachside cliffs, infiltrating the sinister Research Center, and uncovering the mysteries of the Mirror Temple. Encounter peculiar and memorable NPCs along the way, including Baba, Signy’s caring grandmother, ex-gods, a cursed former warrior, and many more. 

Take on godlike responsibilities as the world rests its hopes unduly upon Signy’s shoulders, and experience the tale of an underdog heroine in an adventure full of perseverance, heart, and determination, all accompanied by gorgeous hand-drawn character art and striking 3D environments.

Designated Demigod is a heartfelt adventure tackling themes of hardship while highlighting the unspoken burdens of becoming the hero,” said Shawn Tanner, Owner and Lead Developer at AN Productions. “I’ve always dreamed of creating a turn-based RPG incorporating fighting game mechanics without the technical barrier associated with the genre, so I hope fans and newcomers of both genres find something to love here.” 

Designated Demigod arrives on PC via Steam and consoles in 2025. For more information, follow Designated Demigod, AN Productions, and Armor Games Studios on Twitter/X, and visit the official game website

Turn-Based Bullet Hell Roguelike Enter the Chronosphere Warps a Demo into Steam’s Endless Replayability Fest

Time may be frozen in the chronospheres, but the demo’s only on Steam for a limited time

MELBOURNE, Australia – May 8, 2024 – Enter the Chronosphere, the psychedelic turn-based bullet hell roguelike developed by Effort Star and published by Joystick Ventures, opens the doors of strategic perception in Steam’s Endless Replayability Fest with the Steam debut of a demo available only from Monday, May 13 to Monday, May 20.

Enter the Chronosphere combines the “think three steps ahead” aspect of turn-based tactics with the intensity of real-time action. Inside the time-consuming, space-corrupting chronospheres, time only advances when undertaking actions. Every attack, step, reload, weapon swap, or conscious wait action moves the clock, so tactical thinking triumphs over honed reflexes.

Enemies come loaded for bear, but thankfully Urtar, the bearzerker of the crew, comes loaded with a powerful Kinetic Surge that can destroy projectiles and send enemies flying. Marcia, seemingly the last human in the universe, can dodge roll to tumble through bullets in clutch moments. Experiment with these two characters in the demo, with more in development.

Wield genre-bending multidimensional weapons including tried and true revolvers straight out of the old West, insectoid stingers capable of yoinking then stabbing foes, face-melting Disintegrators, and so, so many more. Discover passive and active items to accentuate strengths or shore up weaknesses, from bullet-buffing monocles to bullet-negating heel spurs.

Endless Replayability Fest represents the first chance for the global public to play the commercial version of Enter the Chronosphere after a stellar debut at PAX East including multiple mentions as one of the best games of the show. The demo station regularly saw 90-minute lines including multiple repeat attempts to reach the end of the demo’s chronosphere.

“While we were hesitant to share a demo this early, the long lines at PAX have emboldened us. We’re very excited to see how people respond to the demo, especially knowing that it’s just a fraction of what’s to come!” says Rhys Van Der Waerden, Director, Programmer and Producer at Effort Star. “Only 13 people beat the demo at PAX – now let’s see what the rest of the world can do next week!”

Enter the Chronosphere’s new demo will be playable for a limited time throughout the duration of Steam’s Endless Replayability Fest from Monday, May 13 to Monday, May 20 on their official Steam page here. For more information on Enter the Chronosphere, check out developer Effort Star’s official website, follow Effort Star and publisher Joystick Ventures on social media, and join the game’s official Discord.
