You can now play for free on Steam the demo of this game visually like few you've seen

As part of the Steam Next Fest, a new proposal has emerged that will blow your mind: Ex Sanguis, a turn-based strategy roguelike that takes influences from the acclaimed series XCOM.

This title not only offers intriguing gameplay but also stands out for its unique visual identity, which apparently fuses minimalist elements with a color palette that emphasizes white and red, with striking splashes of blood that add a visceral touch to the experience.

Minimalism and Blood

The aesthetics of Ex Sanguis have been compared to the vibrant presentation of Superhot, although applied to a strategy environment. The game uses a grid system where players control a squad of soldiers called Stillae. Each unit has unique abilities and is characterized by fluid and choreographed movements, promising a dynamic and engaging combat style.

Despite its promise, the game demo available during the festival does not reveal the full potential of its mechanics. However, it becomes evident that the main focus lies in strategic combat, with a narrative aimed at saving a dying planet but which feels secondary to the intense and stylized action.

The warning of partially destructible environments and enemies designed to maximize the gaming experience reinforces this proposal.

Although there is still no confirmed release date, it has been indicated that Ex Sanguis will be released in early access in the future. For now, players can enjoy the demo for free until the end of the Steam Next Fest, making this title one of the standout surprises among the numerous offerings of the event.
