Skystone Games released a limited-time demo of SlashZero, the 3D side-scrolling action roguelike from Streetlamp Studio, on Steam and PS5 from September 4. The demo runs until September 24 in Japan time. A new story trailer debuted during PlayStation's State of Play program.
The demo opens as a limited-time open test from September 4 at 0:15 to September 24 at 0:00 Japan time, and it is playable directly from the Steam and PS5 store pages. Skystone Games positioned the release alongside a new story trailer shown during PlayStation's State of Play broadcast.
SlashZero casts players as Chrono Hackers who dash through parallel worlds on different timelines, combining action skills with strategy to collect key items and clues. The goal is to defeat Yeroso, the lord of the void world. Combat relies on a deep combo system and aerial combos, with parkour-like movement across multi-layered side-scrolling maps.
Builds are customized through Fortune Chips, and players can switch between different Chrono Hackers while setting up over 100 combat builds. Progression includes unlocking Keys of Authority, collecting Blessings of Authority, and analyzing Authority Codes.
