Full-game review access
Making a video, stream or review? Email support@raddadstudio.com with your channel and whether you want to play solo or with a crew. We have a small set of full-game Steam keys available before launch. There is no obligation to cover the game or give it a positive review.
What you can play
The free demo: 10 waves, two zones (Reef and Galleon), four starting characters, solo and co-op. Use Download Demo on the Steam page. No review key is needed for the public demo.
The full game: 20 waves, four regions, 16 characters and Steam Workshop support. Workshop is not included in the demo.
Online setup: Steam invitations or a crew code; one player per computer. Everyone must use the same edition and update. Demo and full-game crews are separate. Client smoothness is still being improved, particularly during Pearl Drop.
Steam Deck: working well in our own hands-on playtests. This is the studio's experience, not a Valve Verified rating or an independent performance benchmark.
