Unique time-stopping horde-survival game Moon Watch now has a Steam demo

Don't play this demo if you value having any free time at all. Seriously. Moon Watch is delightfully great and properly brings some unique additions to the now very popular horde-survival genre. From the creators of Backpack Hero, you know it's gonna be good!

Here you're taking on vampires — in space. That's right. You're smashing into their ship above your planet to hopefully take them down for good. Armed with a deck of weapons, and a unique watch fuelled by "high tech nonsense" and vampire blood, time will stop when you stop moving.

It has the frantic feeling of other survivor likes (hi Vampire Survivors), but gives you more room to think and breathe. Your abilities are from your deck of cards, which all cost energy that you build up while moving. So while stopped, you can flick through them and decide what ability to fire. It feels like a glorious fusion of Slay the Spire and Vampire Survivors in the way you progress.

Really interesting mixture of gameplay mechanics in this one, that has thoroughly sucked in my attention something fierce. The demo isn't just a static build either, they're calling it a "Living Demo" as they're going to keep on upgrading it while building upon their unique gameplay.

For anyone who played the previous web demo a highlighted the good news is that there's a lot more to it now with the first two acts, two boss battles, new run rewards, randomised runs and just a whole lot more of everything.

Give it a try from the Steam page. It has Native Linux support.
