HARMA Steam Next Fest Demo Now Available with 2-Player Online Co-op

Dear Players,

The HARMA Steam Next Fest demo is now available, featuring an all-new 2-player online co-op mode, two difficulty settings, expanded card archetypes, and a range of newly implemented gameplay mechanisms. Developed by a team of dedicated deckbuilding fans, HARMA is scheduled for release in 2026 . This Steam Next Fest build offers an early look at the game’s core systems and progression.

2-Player Online Co-op

For the first time, players can invite a Steam friend and experience HARMA together in 2-player online co-op . Multiplayer introduces adjustments to both difficulty and strategy, creating a different experience from solo play — Y'all know the drill. Please note: The 2-player limit applies only to the Steam Next Fest demo. The full release is planned to support up to 4-player co-op.

Beginner and Advanced Difficulty Trials

The demo includes two difficulty levels:

• Beginner Difficulty — designed for players who are new to deckbuilding games or prefer a more accessible introduction.
• Advanced Difficulty — offering a challenge closer to the mid-to-upper difficulty range planned for the full game.

The full version of HARMA will feature a much broader range of difficulty tiers.

Characters and Card Pools

In this demo, players are able to control the playable character Prince Eden , with access to four card archetypes. Compared with earlier demo builds, now the card pool has been expanded to support a wider variety of builds The Character Talent Tree is also made available in this demo, allowing players to unlock and upgrade passive abilities for each character as they progress. Please note: A lot more cards are in the works and will be available in the full release, alongside with additional playable characters.

New Gameplay Mechanisms for Progression

The Steam Next Fest demo introduces a number of newly implemented systems that were never shown previously, including:

• X/Y Card Upgrades
• Card Shops and Card Fusion
• Altars
• Artifacts
• Relics

Together, these systems form the foundation of HARMA ’s broader deckbuilding and progression experience.
