Demo version of the co-op metroidvania Anima Flux has recently been updated

In case you missed it, the cooperative metroidvania Anima Flux recently updated its demo version. If you are not familiar with this unique game, we had the opportunity to play it and share the first impressions, which you can read here.

If you’re a fan of thrilling adventures featuring a blend of action and narrative set in a distinctive dystopian world, Anima Flux provides exactly that. The storyline centers around two elite soldiers, and as players, you’ll harness their unique abilities and skills – one shown as a swordsman, the other as archer. Each player will assume control of one soldier, and both characters evolve differently as the game progresses. You will also face challenges posed by dangerous mutants and collaboratively plan strategies in epic boss battles with a friend.

Here's what's new in the demo version:

New Abilities: Characters now have new abilities from the beginning of the game to diversify combat.
- Swordsman: Now has the Stagger Attack - a lunging strike that stuns enemies in front of you. Stunned enemies take double damage from your regular attacks.
- Archer: Rebound Attack now allows you to leap backward while firing an arrow, creating a short-lived decoy that absorbs enemy attacks.
Empowered Special Attacks: Each character now has a gauge to enhance special attacks, which fills by meeting certain conditions.
Improved guide system: Handy guide is now available in the pause menu, providing a clear overview of the basic gameplay mechanics.

Enhanced gameplay experience:

Automatic Aiming: The archer now automatically locks onto the nearest enemy, while manual aiming remains available.
Button Buffer: Attacks, jumps, or dashes are automatically triggered after the previous action, enhancing fluidity in combat.
Gamepad Vibration: Feel the intensity of the battle with the new gamepad vibration options, which provide subtle feedback for minor damage and stronger pulses for heavy blows or character death.
Rage Mode Balancing: Unleash mayhem for extended periods with the rebalanced Rage Mode, which no longer stuns enemies but features a significantly longer duration and removes the previous penalty for early deactivation.

You can play the demo version of this game on Steam.
