Pixels are under attack — and it’s time to scramble your defences. Tokyo-based studio One or Eight INC. has announced that the free PixelHeroScramble Plus Demo launches on Steam October 7 at 12:00 PM JST (that’s October 6, 8:00 PM PDT — late tonight for UK players).

Stop the Surge — Strategic Pixel Tower Defence

PixelHeroScramble Plus is a vibrant fixed-route tower defence adventure where you deploy, upgrade, and swap units to hold back waves of pixel-perfect foes. The demo lets you play through the opening area — roughly 1–2 hours of gameplay — right up to the first major boss.

What you’ll find in the demo:

• Tactical deployment — position over 60 unlockable unit types across the battlefield
• EX Skills — unleash game-changing abilities at critical moments
• Emergency items — turn the tide when the pressure mounts
• Three difficulty levels — Normal, Hard, and Challenge for seasoned strategists
• Carryover progress — your demo save transfers to the full game
• Full English, Japanese, and Chinese language support

What’s Next — Full Release & Steam Next Fest

The demo also serves as a preview for Steam Next Fest (October 19–26), giving you two chances to play ahead of the full game’s launch on November 30 (PC) / December 1 (Switch).
