Getting a chance to try a game out before you buy it is a nice step to verifying that it is what you are looking for. Developers Rock Square Thunder have put together a demo for their game The Lightbringer to go with the release date announcement trailer from their publisher, Zordix Publishing. This shows confidence in their game and allows players a chance to sample the puzzle-platforming gameplay they will offer.

More specifically, this is a poetic puzzle-platformer that has been fully written and voiced in verse. It will feature old-school gameplay by mixing platforming with light combat, a heartfelt sibling story, with plenty of challenges and collectibles to grab as you venture through the semi-isometric environments with your trusty boomerang.

The Lightbringer is set to release on October 7th for both PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. Their free demo is available on both platforms right now, so let your adventure begin with a sample of what’s to come!
