PREPARE FOR GLORY: ‘Demeo Battles’ Brings Turn-Based Tactical Showdowns to PC and VR Starting Today, Coming to PS5 & PS VR2 in 2024

Resolution Games | Stockholm, Sweden – WEBWIRE – Thursday, November 9, 2023

Following the success of 2021’s award-winning cooperative dungeon crawler Demeo, Resolution Games has today released the long-awaited second entry in the Demeo Action Role Playing System. Demeo Battles (TRAILER) is now available on Steam (flatscreen PC or VR) and Meta Quest (VR), and turns Demeo’s turn-based formula on its head, dropping heroes into the arena to compete head-to-head for the first time. Players will see their tactical prowess put to the test in matches that determine whose strategies are sharpest in their quest to dominate the battlefield. Resolution Games has also revealed today that the game will come to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2 in 2024 and to Pico soon.

“When we first envisioned Demeo, it felt as if we’d opened a box filled with possibilities. With today’s launch, we’re beginning to explore those possibilities well beyond the confines of the first game,” said Tommy Palm, founder and CEO of Resolution Games. “While Demeo fans will find plenty of new strategies to discover as they try different mixes of maps, minions, and champions, Demeo Battles has been designed to welcome a much wider range of players into the franchise. With its combination of quick-matches and considered strategy, Demeo Battles is prepared to deliver the thrill of victory (and the agony of defeat) to any fans of turn-based strategy who are looking to test their mettle against the competition.”

Players in Demeo Battles assemble a team of two heroes to take into battle, then choose from a selection of action cards and minions to join them in the arena. While heroes remain under direct player control, minions possess a mind of their own and will seek out opposing heroes and monsters to deal damage – even as The Burn (a deadly flood of lava) creeps in from all sides, intent on doing damage to champions and minions alike. Whether accomplished through might, magic, or monsters, the first team to eliminate both opposing heroes reigns victorious in the Demeo Battles arena.

“Even though this is a competitive game, we knew that what makes Demeo work so well is the spirit of cooperation – and we didn’t want to lose that,” added Palm. “The synergies between heroes is such a key to the magic players feel. To make sure that same energy is carried into Demeo Battles, every match is played by a team of two champions. Whether you’re teaming up with another player for true cooperative play in 2v2 or settling in for the solo control of 1v1, each side will control two characters so you can take advantage of everything their unique combination has to offer.”

Demeo Battles features:

In the immediate weeks following today’s release of Demeo Battles, Resolution Games will be prioritizing game-balancing in a live environment to ensure there’s no shortage of fairplay fun to be had. Following this initial period, Resolution Games will be preparing additional content for Demeo Battles including a ranked mode and additional single-player challenges that will be made available in the coming months.

Demeo Battles is now available for purchase on Steam (flatscreen PC or VR) and Meta Quest (VR) for $19.99. The game is also coming soon to Pico and will arrive on PlayStation 5 and PS VR2 next year. To learn more, follow the game on Twitter and visit demeobattles.com.
