The Hades-like game where a cat is your greatest enemy, and your only hope.
Chinese indie studio Cube of Cube and publisher AnotherIndie have unleashed the demo for their upcoming action roguelite Blade of Wiz during Steam Next Fest. You play as Sera, an exiled knight bound to a spectral cat – the very spirit that cursed her with immortality and now serves as her only companion in a doomed city.
The demo offers approximately 30 minutes of core gameplay per run – but with 20+ weapons, 12 cat transformation skills, 50 customization crests, and 108 total power-ups to discover across attempts, it delivers hours of experimentation as you refine your build with each new run.
Nobody wants a Hades-like game that doesn’t feel right to play. So the developers made sure Blade of Wiz delivers the kind of responsive, snappy combat that keeps you coming back for one more run.
About Blade of Wiz
Blade of Wiz is an action roguelite set in a cursed city. Players control Sera, a disgraced knight bound to a spectral black cat. Combat blends responsive hack-and-slash mechanics with a unique dual-soul system: players directly control Sera’s swordplay while commanding the cat spirit to unleash magical abilities. Presented in vibrant anime-inspired pixel art, Blade of Wiz explores the fragile bond between a warrior and the creature that damned her – and may yet save her.
Key Features (Demo)
- Responsive Action Hack and Slash: Precision is the foundation. Sera’s controls are tight and responsive across melee, ranged, and magic combat styles, with dodge mechanics and positioning that reward skill over button-mashing.
- Spectral Cat Transformations: Equip two of 12 unique abilities that transform the cat into devastating forms: giant claws, crushing walls, void rifts, and more. Each changes how you approach combat.
- Deep Build Variety: 20+ weapons, 50 crests, 6 elemental systems, and 108 blessings ensure no two runs play the same. Experiment with synergies, discover broken combos, adapt to each challenge.
- Roguelite Progression: Death sends you back to camp, where new upgrades await. Plan your route through the imperial city, balancing risk and reward as the city grows more hostile.
- Anime-inspired: Vibrant pixel art brings elemental effects and cat transformations to life, with story beats told through dynamic comic panels that frame Sera and the cat’s uneasy bond.
- Demo vs. Full Game: The Next Fest demo is a vertical slice of the full experience. The complete game promises 10+ hours across three chapters, additional weapons and abilities, new characters, and a deeper exploration of the curse binding Sera and the cat spirit.
