Why it matters
The Steam release is the Chinese studio's first work on the platform, and the Buff Chain system, where pickups only pay off once matched to a specific action, is the piece SummerClip is betting on to separate the game from a crowded roguelite field.
Buffs only activate once slotted into a Buff Chain, with 9 categories and more than 150 types alongside over 50 equipment types.
SummerClip's roguelite runs on the premise of a working adult who has logged 27 straight days of overtime, buys their 1,000th backlog game, and gets pulled through the screen into it. The playable cast is 7 characters with distinct weapons, among them katana, guns, and giant hammers.
A run covers 4 areas with multiple stages each and a boss at the end of every area, 16 bosses total. Clearing a stage's enemies yields rewards, but Buffs stay dormant until they are placed into a Buff Chain and the matching action, such as a normal attack finisher or a counter, is performed. A trial version is already available, with Japanese voice support announced on September 2.
