Game Source Entertainment have recently confirmed that an enhanced demo for the upcoming action-RPG roguelite game Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade is now available on Steam as part of the Steam Next Fest celebrations.
This new demo, introduced as v2.0, will feature new stages, expanded maps, and an all-new boss battle along with new theme songs for each of the main characters. These theme songs can also be listened to for free on the 7Quark Youtube channel.
Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade is developed by Taiwanese indie game team 7Quark and will see players follow three main characters, each fully voiced by leading Japanese voice actors. These three characters are wielder of the Demon Blade and immortal ninja Shigure (Yoko Hikasa), the Oni Emissary Sara (Ayana Taketatsu), and Demon Samurai and master archer Taketora (Rikiya Koyama). As one might expect each character has unique style and weapons, but each character will embark on a perilous journey to battle malevolent spirits in a violent cycle of life and death.
