Hello everyone!
In our latest devlog, we shared the date for our first playtest: October 20th. Today, with that date fast approaching, we’re here to give you more details. To do so, we’ll answer four key questions:
What is a playtest?
It’s similar to what’s commonly known in the gaming world as a “Demo.” The main difference is that a playtest is released before the full game or a major update, with the goal of gathering player feedback. That’s why playtests are usually limited—both in the number of players and the time they’re available.
In our case, this first playtest will be available from October 20th to November 10th, 2025.
How can I play it?
This one’s easy: head over to the Heroes of Anirea Steam page and request access to the playtest by clicking the button.
Once access is granted, you’ll be notified and the Playtest will appear in your Steam library.
What can I expect?
In this playtest, you’ll choose 4 out of 8 available heroes to play through a campaign. For this campaign, we’ve selected the Forest biome so you can get a feel for how the game unfolds.
Throughout the run, you’ll progress through various stages—combat, events, rest areas, shops, and more—generated randomly, so each campaign will be different. You can expect each campaign to last around 20–25 minutes.
We’re planning to release an update during the playtest based on the feedback we receive in the first week. In particular, we’re aiming to give the interface a visual overhaul.
How can I share my feedback?
We’d love to hear your thoughts and chat directly with you to improve the game. We’ve set up feedback channels on our Discord, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you and hear about your experience in the world of Anirea.
We’ll also read all the reviews and ratings you leave on the Steam page, in case you prefer to share your feedback there.
We can’t wait for you to enjoy everything we’ve prepared. Welcome to Anirea.
