Vaultand inaugurated the Steam Next Fest at the largest video game store in the industry. Right now there are hundreds of demos available for many independent games and they will be available until the event ends on June 22nd. So if a good title catches your attention, you should download its demo to see if it is what you expected.
We will take advantage of the festival five demos of titles that look very good, some of these were present at E3 by publishers who announced them in passing, but now it is their turn to be in the center. Best of all, they all run on a low-end PC or even laptops without dedicated graphics, so there are few excuses not to try them.
Death Trash
It’s indie that we already mentioned among the games to take into account for 2021 is shown for the first time and there are already some content creators broadcasting the demo. It is an isometric action game in a post-apocalyptic environment, the title is about exploring a wasteland full of monsters, we can use firearms, as well as dodge and “loot” enemies. It does not have demanding minimum requirements (2 GB of RAM and 2 GB of storage) and the only bad thing is that it does not have a release date yet.
They Always Run
This Alawar Premium title lets us control a mercenary mutant with three arms who seeks the best rewards for the heads of criminals. If that no longer sounds good to you, keep in mind that it is a 2D action platformer with a pretty cool artistic design. It requires a minimum Nvidia 650 and 8 GB of RAM, so it is one of the most demanding on the list, but also one of the best in the technical section.
Cyber Warrior
Dunke Games presents this hacking simulator which weighs only 200MB. And the visual representation is that of an operating system on a PC that we must hack to build a legal case against another group of cybercriminals. The best thing about the title is its daring proposal, in which the action involves discovering passwords, bypassing firewalls and discovering secrets. It has no minimum requirements to highlight and no release date.
Sable
Shedworks is a study made up of two people who presented Sable in the Summer Game Fest It attracted attention for its cel shading graphics and attention to artistic detail in a desert environment. Sable is an adventure and exploration game where we accompany a protagonist who begins a very particular initiation rite. We can help different people, improve our vehicle and above all explore this world.
Chernobyl Liquidators
This game from Live Motion Games It is intended to represent the Chernobyl tragedy through the eyes of the agents sent by the USSR government to “resolve the situation” at the scene. We will not fight with monsters as usual in the games about Chernobyl, but we will have to help or kill civilians, as well as make tough decisions for or against the government. It is the most demanding game on a technical level so you will need an AMD 260 or GTA 560 at least, but the idea is an AMD RX 580.
Naraka: Bladepoint
This is definitely the most AAA of all the games on the list, we are against a battle royale of up to 60 players in which the weapons are medieval, although without neglecting the touch of fantasy. The giant NetEase publishes this game based on Chinese mythology that will premiere an open beta with this demo that will last until June 22.
It’s game-as-a-service style, so consider AAA features like micropayments, loot boxes, and more. On the other hand, the game looks spectacular, so it is a matter of weighing the pros and cons. Like the previous game, it is advisable to have a GTX 1060 or an RX 580 to play, although the minimum is a 1050.
