About This Demo

What you play in this demo

Chest & Blade is a dark fantasy idle RPG where your hero does the fighting. Combat runs on its own; your job is deciding what it wears, what you upgrade and which card you take. This demo covers the game's first four acts and two dungeons, with a level cap of 25.

Pick your class

Warrior — Holds the front with a shield and drops Sword Rain on the whole wave. The sturdiest way to start.

Mage — Stays back while Chain Lightning hops between enemies. Fragile, but every point of Intelligence turns straight into damage.

Barbarian — Closes the distance at a cost: the more damage it takes, the harder it swings.

Build your character, set its look, and try all three classes during the demo.

Systems open in the demo

• Chests and loot — Farm gear from bosses and chests, break it down, forge it again.
  
• Workshop — Crafting, upgrading and enchanting: chase the stat you actually want.
  
• Skill tree — Class-specific actives and passives; you build the skill bar.
  
• Rune tree — Combat, economy and endurance branches.
  
• Augment cards — Every few levels three cards appear; one of them bends your run.
  
• Dungeons — Two dungeons, up to the gate at the end of Act 4.
  
• Quests, achievements and leaderboard — Daily quests and stage times.

Chests pile up while you fight; you come back and crack them all at once:
