Slice and dice in the Last Spartan: Glory over Madness demo – Available Now

Steam Next Fest is one of the most exciting events for all with a rollout of new and exciting demos to try out for the upcoming slate of games. One of the more intriguing demos dropping today is for the dice, deck builder, and rogue-like adventure Last Spartan: Glory over Madness. Play as the iconic Leonidus in a 2.5D view which is all I needed to hear in order to give this a shot. Links as well as more information on what to expect from Bad Spiele Studio’s latest project are down below!

Step into the sandals of legendary Spartan King Leonidas in the Steam Next Fest demo for the upcoming dice/deck-building rogue-like Last Spartan: Glory over Madness. Available today, the demo offers brave warriors the chance to become the legendary Spartan king and explore a twisted world that sees Lovecraft and Ancient Greece come together in epic fashion.

Last Spartan: Glory Over Madness marches players toward a perilous battle through ancient Greece, where every maddening turn-based encounter requires a roll of the dice. Relying on lady luck is no good in Last Spartan, as players will need to imbue each die with powerful faces collected during each run, whilst forming allegiances with a pantheon of infamous Greek Gods. Unlock Ares, Hera, Apollo, Hephaestus, and six more gods, each providing a unique class to play as and distinct active and passive abilities. Develop different strategies for dealing with the many foes you encounter all in the name of sanity and glory!

Perfectly blending the beloved mythos of Greece with the haunting fiction of Lovecraft to create unspeakable enemies and environments, fellow Spartans must choose their dice faces wisely as they progress through a story-driven campaign set in a stylised 2.5D world. Every decision you make as King Leonidas will lead to rewards, blessings, and curses that could lead to eternal glory or suffering. Fresh horrors and unexpected encounters await at every turn, do you have what it takes to achieve glory and stave off the madness?

“No one has retold the story of the 300 army and King Leonidas like this in a video game before,” comments Ankit Dhillon, Founder and CEO of Bad Spiele Studio. “I wanted to combine the rich mythology of ancient Greek history and Lovecraftian lore with the legend of the famous Spartan Army, but with a dark and maddening twist. We also wanted to change up the traditional deck-building mechanic to extend to dice instead of cards, creating endless possibilities and outcomes for any type of player. We believe we have created something truly new and exciting that players can get their teeth into from today!”

Let’s roll:

• Explore Ancient Greece in a Unique 2.5D view, and see the madness and horrors up close as you make your choices!

• Battle and explore a dark, randomly generated world full of new enemies and random encounters on every playthrough.

• Collect 300 new and powerful artefacts, granting you permanent stats/abilities for the rest of your roguelike run.

• Choose your ally god from a pool of 10+ Greek gods. All offer different active and passive abilities, allowing for different builds, playstyles, and strategies.

• Discover a massive pool of over 300 unique enemies, encounters, dice faces, and artefacts scattered across the ever-changing world. Each playthrough promises a fresh set of challenges and opportunities.

Battle for sanity, face unspeakable monstrosities, and navigate a world teetering on the brink of madness in Last Spartan, available now on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest. Follow Bad Spiele Studio on TikTok, Instagram, and Discord to keep up with all the latest Last Spartan news.
