Guildrun Demo

Get Started

Head to Download for Steam install steps and demo scope. No promo codes are required currently — add the demo to your library and launch. Verify your PC against System Requirements before first session; Mac and Windows both support the preview build with different minimum specs.

Learn inputs on the Controls page before your first combat wave. Guildrun's hex grid placement uses intuitive mouse-first bindings, but shop shortcuts and speed controls matter once runs accelerate on higher difficulties.

Demo Features & Release Timeline

Save & Resume explains mid-run persistence — critical for twenty-minute sessions split across breaks. Steam FAQ consolidates official Leyline answers. Release Date tracks demo versus full game timeline: demo live now, full launch targeting 2027, wishlist on Steam for notifications.

After setup, jump to the Beginner Guide or read our Demo Review if you want impressions before installing.

First Session Checklist

Before your first run: confirm hardware against system requirements, read controls for placement and shop shortcuts, and skim the beginner guide intro so wave-one decisions are not pure guesswork. Install the demo from the download page — no codes or external launchers required as of July 2026.

During your first run: prioritize learning hex placement and shop timing over winning tier eight. Save mid-run if you need a break — the save and resume page explains what persists. After the run, note which systems confused you and open the matching guide rather than restarting blindly.

After three to five runs: revisit release date for full-game expectations, try the build planner before queueing, and push difficulty one tier at a time. Demo progress teaches mechanics; do not treat demo unlocks as guaranteed full-release transfers until Leyline confirms migration details.
