In a market saturated with deckbuilders and roguelikes, it takes something special to stand out. Enter Hex Blast, the newest creation from indie studio Soy Boy Games, now available as a free playable demo on Steam. This pixel-punching roguelike isn’t just about cards—it’s about obliterating waves of corrupted cyber foes in a grid-based battlefield that fuses deckbuilding strategy with the relentless pressure of horde survival.
Hex Blast is scheduled to launch on PC via Steam in 2025, but if you want a taste of its chaotic charm, the demo is live now—and it’s an absolute blast.
What Is Hex Blast?
Imagine if Slay the Spire crashed headfirst into Vampire Survivors, then got digitized in a neon-drenched cyberspace. That’s the energy behind Hex Blast.
Players choose from four adorable yet deadly robot avatars, each with unique abilities and synergies. You’ll stack your deck with more than 200 cards and relics, combining effects like earthquakes, frost, poison, and chain reactions on a dynamic hex grid. The goal? Outlast and outgun mutating waves of malware, from trojans to adware, each with unpredictable movement and attack patterns.
Key Features That Make Hex Blast a Must-Play
🧠 Tactical Deckbuilding Meets Real-Time Pressure
With every run, you’ll collect cards that allow you to build broken (in the best way) combos. Want to freeze the entire grid and shatter it in one move? Go for it. Prefer a slow-burning poison strategy or a wall of indestructible shields? That’s possible, too.
⚔️ Survive the Horde
This isn’t a passive card game. Enemies swarm in waves, evolving and adapting as they move across the grid. Your strategy needs to evolve just as fast—or you’ll be overrun.
💎 Collect, Upgrade, Dominate
Earn gems in each roguelike run to unlock overclocked computer chips that supercharge your build. Between relic synergies and robot-specific cards, every playthrough feels fresh and just broken enough to keep you coming back.
🌐 Global Accessibility
Hex Blast isn’t just for English-speaking players. The demo and full game are fully localized in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Russian, ensuring fans around the world can join the fight.
The Hex Blast demo isn’t just a teaser—it’s a complete experience that offers hours of experimentation and chaotic fun. Whether you’re a deckbuilding purist or just want to watch malware get crushed by a poison-fueled robot frog, this one’s worth your time.
