About the Next Fest Demo
The demo includes the character creator and the first Sword Blossom arc, which focuses on the Engineering department aboard the FHS Justice and their quiet struggle against the Promethean menace and the evil Dr. Cornish. The arc contains seven missions, culminating in an intense battle to protect the FHS Justice and its inhabitants from assimilation. More about the Ship of Heroes story.
Our character creator has been expanded and streamlined. You can spend hours perfecting your character’s looks, or speed through using pre-styled faces and our very popular randomizer options.
Feel free to replay the arc with characters of different archetypes (5 of them) and/or different combinations of primary and secondary powersets, as they provide a different experience. Each set has several powers to choose from. You can create as many as 10 characters.
Every character will be topped up to 100,000 dust, the in-game currency, upon entering the demo, and will earn more for completing the missions. It’s enough to buy plenty of augments, infusions, and anything else you might want. Ship of Heroes' combat mechanics use a combination of powers, custom augments and temporary enhancements called infusions. Infusions can be bought from strategically placed vending machines like this one in the lobby of Engineering.
