Dungeon RPG Hammerwatch now has a demo
Hammerwatch, the indie cooperative dungeon crawler with a sweet Gauntlet vibe and mod support, has just released a public demo of the game. The demo consists of the entirety of Act 1, 3 of the 4 classes, and multiplayer. Oh, by the way, that multiplayer is playable locally, over LAN, and online! So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the game's Steam Greenlight page, download the demo, and try it out for yourself. Hammerwatch is one of our indie games to look out for this year, so I can only hope that it lives up to its awesome potential. If you do in fact like it, don't forget to give it a good ole thumbs up on Steam Greenlight. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
