Loopmancer, the cyberpunk-themed roguelite action game from developer eBrain Studio, is slated for a release later this year; and while we wait for an exact release date, the developers have today released a playable demo on Steam as well as a new gameplay trailer:

​

Enter a megacity underworld in the Far East as Xiang Zixu, a private detective investigating the vanishing of a famous reporter. Following a crucial lead, he is murdered, only to awaken in his bed. Xiang discovers that time resets when he dies, bringing him back to his apartment. What the hell is going on!?

Kill, die and enact revenge in an infinite cycle to uncover the connections between your case, your murder and your limitless resurrection. Slice bionic cyborgs, deformed mutants, and street level gangsters. Unlock cybernetic enhancements, high-tech guns, and explosive abilities to perfect the art of slow-motion annihilation.

In LOOPMANCER, players will explore seven massive cyberpunk levels, each with its own unique aesthetic and design. Avoid hidden traps and solve clever puzzles across bustling streets and chilling ghost towns. Every death is an opportunity to revisit one of these intricately designed levels - with different, randomly generated layouts to feed your adrenaline rush.

Make choices and investigate side paths in each level to unlock seven unique endings. Discover how each decision you make affects Xiang and the twisted lives of the people you meet. Do you have what it takes to become a LOOPMANCER?

Loopmancer's free playable demo is now available on Steam and integrates NVIDIA DLSS for performance boosting while the final version of the game will include ray-tracing.

Loopmancer will launch on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store later this year. PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch versions were also previously announced.

Dig the trailer, I'll have to give the demo a go. Nice to see they resisted Epic exclusivity too, assuming it was ever offered to them.
