Hello, fellow fighters! Maicha here.
I've received valuable feedback from seasoned players and developers at GDC and have been focusing on integrating and refining these insights ever since. But I still need to gather broader feedback beyond offline events, so I’m organizing a closed beta test starting May 23. If you're interested in trying out the game early and contributing to improving it, please sign up using the survey link below. For more details, refer to the survey or join our Discord for direct updates.

Since the closed beta build is bound to have bugs and issues, it isn't suitable for large-scale testing. Which is why I’m also releasing a new demo alongside this test for more players to enjoy. This demo incorporates long-awaited changes from previous versions, introduces a new boss, and, notably, your progress will carry over to the Early Access release. We eagerly await your feedback on the new demo.
Last but not least, I truly appreciate the love for Spirit X Strike from character action games enthusiasts around the world. So in this updated demo, I’ve added French and Portuguese localizations as the first step to reach more international players. More languages are on the way, too. Thank you for your patience as I work on implementing them.
Here are the FAQs on the closed beta testing recruitment:
Q: What content is available in this test?
A: The test includes all five chapters of the Early Access version, with 3 difficulties available (excluding the highest difficulty).
Q: Can I share videos or screenshots from the test?
A: We appreciate your love for Spirit X Strike, but no spoilers for others who aren’t able to play the game early. Please do not share any content from the test publicly.
Q: How should I report bugs or provide feedback?
A: All testers will be invited to our private playtest channel in the Spirit X Strike Discord server. All the bug reports and feedback should be posted there, or the feedback survey after the test is completed.
As the EA version nears completion, I’m working as hard as I can to bring my vision to life. Expect more frequent updates through dev blogs, and don't forget to add the game to your wishlist while you’re reading them if you haven’t already.
