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).
