Steam free download has major God Of War vibes

You can sample an upcoming action hack-and-slash game for free that not only has Soulsborne vibes but also a hint of God of War.

Ever since God of War graced us with its presence in 2005 on the PlayStation 2, it has been one of the pillars of the hack-and-slash genre, alongside the likes of Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Dynasty Warriors and more.

However, when the series had somewhat of a soft reboot in 2018, although Santa Monica Studio retained plenty of that high-octane action gameplay that fans loved, God of War evolved with a more cinematic presentation and an over-the-shoulder camera perspective.

So, if you’re after some of that old-school hack-and-slash gameplay but with the added difficulty inspired by the likes of Dark Souls and Bloodborne, then look no further than Burning Sword: Death Sun.

“Burning Sword: Death Sun immerses players into an ancient martial world, where Zhang Yìxian, a top-ranked sword master, seeks to avenge his fallen master in a seamless blend of challenging soul-like gameplay and fluid hack-and-slash action, creating a uniquely captivating experience unlike any other,” reads the description of the game on Steam.

If Burning Sword: Death Sun looks like your kind of game, then you’re in luck, because you can download and play its free demo via Steam right now.

Burning Sword: Death Sun does not have a concrete release date at the time of writing but it is scheduled to launch at some point this year.

You can even take part in its beta to provide valuable feedback to the developers of Nomadic Games, to help shape its final version come release.

Only a PC release for Burning Sword: Death Sun has been confirmed but hopefully, it will launch on consoles eventually, should it prove to be a success on PC.
