Developer Soy Boy Games has announced Hex Blast, a new roguelike deck-builder coming to PC via Steam later in 2025.
There’s a lot going on in the description to this one, but the video itself also looks pretty complicated. While Hex Blast is coming to PC via Steam, there is also going to be some form of playtesting there, while you can grab the alpha demo now, via itch.io. The studio’s previous games include Cowboy 3030, and Kungfu Cowboy.
Check out the announcement trailer, below:
Here’s the key features from the press release:
- Wave After Wave: In horde survival gameplay, waves of cyber enemies will move across the dynamic hex-based grid to attack.
- Status and Strategies: Enemies are smart and move in strategic formations but you can attack smarter, using status effects such as earthquakes, poison, and frost to literally freeze threats in their tracks.
- Gems Galore: Gather gems in each roguelike run in order to improve the hand and unleash even more deckbuilt devastation.
Enter the metaphoric mainframe as the last line of defense against cyber attacks. Build a powerful deck of hex-based cards and take it to the grid to eliminate relentless waves of cyber invaders. Craft combos and get strategic with status effects including frost, earthquake, and poison effects to send these digital dangers packing.
Clearing out the grid won’t be easy, though, as threats including adware, trojan horses, and more can multiply rapidly and attack with unique patterns of their own, and in numbers these hordes can quickly take you down. If you succeed at fighting them off, you’ll be rewarded with gems which can be used to upgrade cards, or add and remove them from your deck, allowing multiple possibilities and endless replayability.
Hex Blast is coming to PC via Steam later in 2025. The alpha demo is available now.
