The demo for Tunic has arrived, providing an isometric 2D Zelda style combat and exploration. Checkout our demo gameplay on PC.

No Xbox demo?

Was only on Steam

No Xbox demo?

 

[Clear]

Lovely aesthetics but I dunno, seems oddly characterless to me.

 

[Kao The Kangaroo]

Yeah, it looks cute, but the demo doesn't show any story behind the game.

 

[ZywyPL]

Absolutely charming.

It's been 84 years. Came out of nowhere. Downloading now.

Looks nice enough, but the music really doesn’t suit the game in my opinion - it sounds like hold music, not a rousing game score.

I myself prefer the subtle ost's. For example BotW. Bombastic shit annoys me to no end.

I’m more comparing this to earlier Zelda games, which all had a rousing score. When you are spending a lot more time in a world, such as BOTW, then a subtle score makes sense. Either way, the score for this game is rancid.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Looks great!

 

[VFXVeteran]

Yea, this looks very cute and relaxing.

 

[GrayDock]

Is this a new one? I can only find the old one (aug 2020).

 

[Mato]

I thought the music is pretty good. I especially liked the forest track which somehow reminded me of DKC2. I do find the volume a little overpowering or maybe it's the long envelope tails and reverb. I'd like for the environmental and gameplay sounds to be more audible. The game plays better than I expected. Apparently this is the original demo that was revealed a while back so I assume everything is improved by now. Hopefully they remove the color burn filter or whatever it is, it looks tired and contrived. Maybe give us the option to tune it. The bloom too. Alas my faith is restored. It's been on my wishlist since it was revealed. I'd pretty much given up but my interest is rekindled.

Where are you downloading it? I saw the limited time demo ended yesterday, unless I'm missing something.

Steam, still shows up for me.

 

[Captain Toad]

Yeah, it looks cute, but the demo doesn't show any story behind the game.

Why would I need a story for this game? I'm excited. I don’t have a PC or Steam anymore. Hopefully, they put out an Xbox demo as well.

 

[Diddy X]

I expect more magic and better sound from a Zelda-like game, feels pretty dull is comparison.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Put me with the group that thinks the music is a little underwhelming. Otherwise I think it will still be an enjoyable game.

 

[justiceiro]

The demo is gone? Can't find it in the steam page. Anyway, the game seems to have been developing, quite nicely, but I noticed a some very serious frame drops. Will keep a eye on it anyway.

 

[Hendrick's]

I feel like this game has been development so long, it no longer looks very good.

There is one guy doing it right?

Can't wait. Please be as good as it looks.

 

[Entroyp]

I love it. Can’t wait for the demo on the 15th.

 

[MrS]

Major Cat Quest vibes. Looks very good imho.

Cat Quest wasn't bad, but I have much higher hopes for this than that. Hopefully, closer to Link's Awakening.

Yeah it was rather simplistic and samey. Hopefully there's a bit more to Tunic than that. Same vibe though. Looks very cool and I'd be day one if I had an Xbox. May well be day one if that xCloud stick launches before Tunic does.

This looks like a high probability game for Switch later on. That's my guess, at least.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Tunic's developers explaiin what to expect in a new demo landing in 2021.

Looks adorable and something special.

 

[RoboFu]

This is kind of what I’ve always imagined a old school Zelda have in 3D to look like.

Did you play Link's Awakening on Switch?

 

[RoboFu]

Did you play Link's Awakening on Switch?

Yeah but that just does capture the 2d/3D aspect as well as the isometric view like this game does to me. It’s like links awakening is too similar to the original look.

 

[Dr Bass]

I think this looks like it has potential. Is there a release date yet or ... still too early?

 

[TLZ]

Looking forward to trying it.

 

[Captain Toad]

Finished the demo on Switch. I like what I've seen so far. I wish the character would move a tad faster.

Also, the enemies don't pause when you're assigning weapons. This caused me issues, as I'd accidentally hit LB, and remove my sword or something and I'd get killed while trying to re-equip it.

Other than those minor complaints, the game is fun. Hopefully, we get a full release date soon.

Edit: Just re-read this post. No idea why I said I played this on Switch. I meant Series X.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

On this fun episode of New Gameplay Today, Reeves, Marcus, and Stadnik take a tour of Tunic, a gorgeous Zelda-inspired action title that features an adorable fox protagonist and a beautifully realized game world.

Tunic Challenges You To Find All Its Secrets And I Can't Wait To Try

Don't be fooled by its cute visuals; Tunic is designed to be challenging both in how you understand its combat and how you comprehend its story.

Tunic still lacks a release date, but already has speedrunners interested

Tunic, the tiny fox adventure which recently gained a great demo on Steam and Xbox, still lacks a release date. Alas, d…

I was totally into the Xbox demo. Can't wait for this one.

I want to know a release date. I thought for sure we would have one by E3 but still nothing. I guess it could get pushed to next year?

Yeah, I think it's just 1 guy. I had no expectations that it's a lock for this year. Would be a hell of a nice surprise though.
