Unlike the Knight’s focus, Hornet’s heal is a stationary channel that doesn’t pause enemy movement . New players may find the demo’s difficulty spike punishing—the mini-boss demands near-perfect positioning.

9/10 One point off for minor performance hiccups and the sheer pain of waiting for the full release. Where to get the free demo: (Hypothetically) Steam, GOG, or the official Team Cherry site. In reality, no public demo exists yet—but fans are eagerly waiting.

Instead of Soul, you collect thread to heal or throw spinning needle traps. The new crest system (equippable passives) is shown off in the demo: one crest makes parries explode, another turns your dash into a damaging lunge. Every fight feels like a puzzle.
