Indie developer RuneHeads, known for pushing genre boundaries, has officially released a free playable demo of their upcoming game Journey to the Void, a dark fantasy roguelite deckbuilder with an innovative tower defense twist. Available now on Steam, the demo offers players a taste of the strategic card battles, morally-driven choices, and RPG progression ahead of the game’s full PC launch this summer.
🃏 A Dark Fantasy Deckbuilder with Tactical Depth
In Journey to the Void, the world is crumbling under the weight of elemental corruption. Players must venture into decaying regions, build powerful decks, and face down waves of enemies in grid-based arenas. Choose from infinitely generated heroes, each with unique buffs and nerfs, and dive into battles where every card and decision can shift the tide.
Whether you’re wielding frost against flaming foes or harnessing lightning in a storm-ravaged biome, Journey to the Void challenges you to adapt your strategy in real-time.
