I Thought Dune Awakening Was Brutal… Then I Played This

Wishlist Lysward on Steam and check out the free demo using the link below https://bit.ly/Lysward-SiNKiLLeR This video is sponsored by Snowcastle Games. #sponsored Wishlist Lysward on Steam and check out the free demo using the link above. The public demo update goes live on October 15. Dune Awakening with magic? That was my first thought going into Lysward — then the desert started cooking me alive. In this gameplay first look, I explore the world of Umbra, where surviving means hopping between scraps of shade, finding water and sheltering from storms. There are dangerous creatures to deal with, strange powers to uncover, and a new third-person death camera that makes those fatal mistakes a whole lot more entertaining. I also explore research and crafting, using sponge moss to carry water, baking bricks in the sun, and getting an early look at base building. I’m playing an early-access preview build with some features coming further down the line. Most of what’s shown will be playable from October 15, but some features — including parts of the building preview — may differ from the public demo. Would you give this a go? Let me know which mechanic interests you most — and whether you’d survive longer against those dogs than I did.
