Two dates
October 19 — Harvest Havoc is part of Steam Next Fest (Oct 19–26).
October 27 — full release.
The free demo is playable right now, no need to wait.
What it is
An auto-fire action roguelike. Your weapons pick their own targets and fire on their own, so the only two things you actually control are where you stand and what you become at every level-up.
7 weapons, 9 passives. Take a weapon and its paired passive both to level 5 and the whole barrage evolves into something else — the Dart becomes Dart Storm, the Piercer becomes Thunder Pierce. Seven evolution paths in total.
6 characters, each with their own starting weapon and talent, and they play nothing alike. Pyro Fist, for instance, runs +25% damage and -20% health, and opens with the Piercer — one spear punches through 4 enemies at level 1 and 8 at level 5. A pure glass cannon.
5 themed arenas: Wheatfield, Frost Plains, Lava Cavern, Desert Oasis, and the Void Arena that unlocks once you've cleared the rest.
And one arena you draw yourself
There's a paint tool in the shop. Whatever you draw becomes the actual ground you fight on. Nine save slots, and you drop straight into a run on it.
This isn't a novelty button — it's the thing testers kept going back to.
Dying isn't wasted
Enemies drop parts. Plant three of them close together and they merge into a companion that fights on its own. Between runs there are permanent stat upgrades and 24 achievements. A run takes 5–20 minutes.
If this sounds like your kind of thing
Add it to your wishlist — you'll get a notification the day it launches. During Next Fest (Oct 19–26) a few thousand games open their demos at the same time, and wishlists are a large part of whether we get seen at all in that window.
