About ChainStaff

Our planet is under attack from the Star Spores, and they've warped life on Earth into ferocious uber-bugs. Even worse, a nasty alien has made its new home directly attached to your head. But It's not all bad news - your new best friend has provided both the strength to fight back against the mutated horde, and control over a weapon that can tip the balance of the battle in humanity's favor: the ChainStaff.

As you traverse the surreal landscape, you'll encounter your fellow soldiers, stranded in harsh environments. Do you rescue your comrades, or listen to the alien voice in your head and harvest them for upgrades?

If you can persevere and defeat the Star Spores, perhaps you can save everyone…including yourself.

Key Features of the Demo

• Get to grips Learn to harness the ChainStaff’s murderous and varied powers in the Tutorial training grounds before taking the fight back to the invading alien scum
• Beautiful devastation Explore ChainStaff’s first level, Sand Spires, and gawk in awe and horror at once scenic views turned to surreal and otherworldly landscapes
• Dangerous species Shoot, stab and spear your way through several types of mutant fiends and catch a glimpse of what to expect from the many enemy variants the Star Spores will bring to the battlefield at full release
• Bring your best Deploy your flesh-ripping arsenal against the first of the game’s many gargantuan bosses, all of which will require precision use of your weaponry to resist and overcome their dreadful attacks
• Grotesque upgrades Your comrades are stranded across the wasteland of the Sand Spires, helpless to resist the Star Spores on their own. You can choose to send them back to base with a rescue for tech upgrades, or feed the alien beast on your head by devouring their organs to make you more powerful.
