A Toast to New Quests
In the ever-evolving landscape of PC gaming, a new contender is stepping into the spotlight with a pint in hand. Brews & Bastards, developed by the innovative minds at Mune Studio, promises a co-op dungeon crawler experience like no other. Set to launch on Steam in Spring 2024, this game blends the thrill of adventure with the camaraderie of a pub crawl, offering an intoxicating mix of magic, mayhem, and a lot of alcohol.
First Sip: Steam Demo Debuts
Ahead of its full release, Brews & Bastards is whetting players’ appetites with a first taste available through a Steam demo. This sneak peek is part of the buzz-building February Steam Next Fest, inviting gamers to pregame before the main event hits PCs—and eventually consoles at a later date.
The Quest: Save the Brew Stone
Players are summoned to the grand Muneshine Tavern, embarking on a noble quest to retrieve the enchanted Brew Stone from a gang of thieving demons. This mission isn’t just about heroics; it’s about securing endless alcohol for the thirsty masses. Whether braving the dungeons solo or with up to three other dubious heroes, adventurers will wield liquor-charged weapons to become legends of the bar.
Challenges: Tipsy Traps and Drunken Demons
The journey through Muneshine Tavern’s cellars, distilleries, and ancient depths is fraught with tipsy monsters, cunning traps, and epic bar games. From shooting cork bullets to hurling Molotovs, players will face off against inebriated imps, goblins, and possessed jelly shots. Epic bosses and tavern games, like giant-sized beer pong and darts, await those brave enough to seek the Brew Stone’s hidden location.
Co-op Play: Better Together
Brews & Bastards shines in its local co-op gameplay, allowing up to four players to join forces. For those spread out across the globe, Steam Remote Play Together brings beerific buddies closer, ensuring the party never has to stop. With a variety of adventurers to choose from, each run through the tavern’s depths offers a fresh mix of challenges and strategies.
Developer’s Toast: A Quest Within the Tavern
Erekose Watson, Co-Creator of Mune Studio, muses on the game’s inception: “We’ve traditionally seen taverns as the start and end of great tales. Brews & Bastards explores what happens when the adventure never leaves the bar.” This game is a love letter to those seeking new adventures with their merry crews, promising endless fun and camaraderie.
Ready Your Mugs
As Brews & Bastards prepares to take over PCs via Steam in Spring 2024, its first demo offers a glimpse of the chaos and camaraderie that await. Gather your crew, ready your weapons, and dive into a dungeon crawler that celebrates the spirit of adventure, one pint at a time.
