If you’ve been holding off playing Helldivers 2 because you’re fervently hoping they’ll eventually add robot cowboy wizards, then firstly, you are eccentric to the point of deranged, and your mother and I are very worried about you, and secondly, why not play the Far Far West demo instead? It’s a one to four player co-op FPS with robot cowboy wizards out the wazoo. Except that robots don’t have wazoos, I think.

[p]It's time to grab your pals and giddy THE HELL up!!!

[/p][h3]You can now play the Steam Next Fest demo! [/h3][p]

[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]


This is our first public demo, and it's all thanks to your incredible feedback from the playtests! We've made heaps of improvements based on your playthroughs, plus we've added some pretty cool extras just for the fun of it. You can check out the full patch notes here, but in a nutshell:

[h3]Enhanced weapons, new upgrades, reworked spells, and more! [/h3][p]
Fancy reaching new heights? We've made a new grenade that periodically generates shockwaves that push players away.

[/p][p]And we've chucked some fresh flowers on the saloon because it is springtime.
[/p][h3]Would you mind leaving a review? [/h3][p]
We've hit some great milestones on Steam recently (we're currently the 25th highest CCU ever for a playtest via Steamdb! You guys are awesome!) and we'd really love to keep that going. As a small dev team, reviews really help us get noticed, so if you've had a blast with the demo (or playtest!) and would like to help us out, please do let us know how you got on!

[/p][h3]Want to find other players? Join us on Discord! [/h3][p]

If you're a lone wolf, you can venture out into the Far Far West solo, no problem. But, playing with others is CHAOS and really fun, so come join our Discord to form a squad, chat with other cowboys, and just have a jolly good time.

Thanks again for all your support! We hope you have a blast with the demo!!
