Demo update and coming events !

Hi there everyone! Hoot here with a few updates concerning both the demo and upcoming events!

Updated Demo

FIrst off, we have recently updated the public demo with a brand new version, in anticipation of the next Steam Next Fest. The list of changes since last September would be too long, but just to list a few:

Larger FOV and better enemy indicators (giving you a better view of what's surrounding you/about to hit you)
Improved visuals and loads of optimization for weaker machines
Tighter character handling (game's pace has been sped up across the board)
All summons available
Revamped encounters with normal and hard mode
New tutorial
Whole bunch of QOL stuff
And of course, buttons/keys rebinding

(However, we did take out level 2 from the demo. Considering the amount of base content available now, we didn't want to potentially spoil players too early and have them discover more on release.) We hope both newcomers and players who have played the previous version will enjoy this recent update! As always, let us know if anything breaks or that you would like to see. We might not be able to fix things immediately, but we're keeping a close eye and will push a patch if needed.

Upcoming events

For those who want to say hello in person and/or try out the game in full, we'll be present at the two following events! Tokyo Game Show: From September 15th to 18th (public days on the 17th and 18th) As well as HeroFest 2022 (in Bern, Switzerland), from October 14th to the 16th We will be showcasing the game on the Switch for both events and just generally hang around and chill, as indie devs do.

Character-action set in ancient Swiss Gaul

Around a hundred years BC, all of Gaul is far from Roman control. In the lands controlled by the Helvetii, a Roman legion was subjugated by young warchief Divico, blessed by an ancient boon brought to him from parts unknown.

However, this victory came at a great cost, as soon the result of the war chief's pact would turn into a curse; an ever spreading rot crawling through his land, and slowly corrupting his mind and heart. Monsters and cultists start appearing throughout the land, and a shadowy figure makes his move, taking advantage of the chaos he helped create.

With the help of the trusted yet reclusive druid Nammeios and the curious half-beast Renart, Divico sets his journey to undo the source of the rot and restore what was lost inside him. Through his own martial prowess and powers conferred by the old gods, the fight ahead promises to be intense.

THREE UNIQUE CHARACTERS

A disgruntled war chief, a snarky fox or a wise druid. Three characters with their unique playstyle and special attacks that will help you dominate the legions of monsters.

Regardless of whatever items or summons you find, you will never be completely helpless in Helvetii. Regardless of power ups, your core moveset will always feel complete from the get-go.

EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER STYLISH ACTION

With a wide variety of abilities and situations, it’s not just about finishing the fight, but doing it in style!

Take your time to master each character with acrobatic combos, using the terrain at your advantage and mercilessly juggling your opponent for the highest ranks, and highest rewards.

THE GIFTS OF THE GODS AT YOUR COMMAND

Lost treasures, ancient burial mounds, curious owl shopkeepers and altars containing the essence of powerful gods await you, scattered across the land.

Harness powerful summons and obtain items that will give you even more options in a fight.

A PRECISE, VISCERAL EXPERIENCE SET IN A CAREFULLY CRAFTED WORLD

With a closed-in camera, carefully detailed 2D environments and an enchanting soundtrack composed by Dale North and sung by Emi Evans, get thrusted into intense combat scenarios that keep you close to the action

THE SECRETS OF THE GAUL

Discover the ancient Celtic world of the Gauls, mixed in with more unique legends from Swiss and Germanic folklore. Journey from yet untamed forests to abandoned villages overtaken by cultists, merciless snowy caps, underground tunnels and beyond...

We have now been working for a while on Helvetii from our humble studio here in Switzerland. Our primary goal is to share our love for precise and intense character action mechanics by making absolutely sure combat is fine-tuned and always enjoyable, mixed with the best art we can provide. This is a project we've been caring a lot for a long time, and we really hope our excitement will reach all the players out there!

We wish to thank anyone who shares our passion and decides to support and believe in us. Let's all do our best!
