We were excited to see the announcement of Mouseward, a new N64-inspired adventure title from developer Finite Reflection Studios, late last year. Since then, there hasn’t been much news to report on this classic 3D adventure game. But now a demo has launched on Steam to give us a taste of what to expect from Mouseward.
In a nostalgic throwback to retro, platformer classics, players’ll take on the role of a small but mighty Royal Mouse Guard. They’ll go on a grand adventure that far outmatches their size as they gather up the celestial fragments that have covered the world, warping it and reviving the dead.
Key features of Mouseward:
Challenging Soulslike Combat: Engage in deliberate, stamina-based combat where every move matters. Learn the patterns of a bestiary of corrupted foes, master your parries and dodges, and choose the perfect moment to strike. Death is a lesson, not an end.
Vast Collectathon Worlds: Hunt for scattered star fragments, unlock powerful new abilities, and open secret paths in sprawling, non-linear levels packed with fearsome foes.
Customize Your Mouse Guard: Discover a variety of weapons, armor sets, and arcane abilities. Will you be a stoic knight with a sword and shield, a nimble archer who strikes from the shadows, or a powerful mage wielding the very power of the stars?
A Somber, Quirky Cast: Encounter a memorable cast of woodland critters, both friend and foe. Unravel their stories in a world that balances whimsical charm with an undercurrent of melancholy.
