As I was playing, I was making a mental list of friends I could get to play it with me now that it would be easily available.

Demeo: PC Edition will support cross-play between PC and VR (as well as cross-progression), greatly widening its audience.
What’s most exciting is the potential player base expansion. Image used with permission by copyright holder Had you not told me it was a VR game first, I wouldn’t have detected that from the smoothly implemented PC version. Tossing a die with a mouse flick still feels like rolling, as does slinging an attack card onto the field. Even without physical motion, everything still feels satisfyingly tactile in the PC edition. With a straight PC port, there’s a danger of losing that board game charm, stripping the game down to a standard tactics game. When you’re playing in a headset, you can physically pick up your piece or toss the dice with the flick of a motion controller. The VR version of Demeo is notable for its tactile component. It’s the kind of experience that brought me back to the days of LAN parties where my friends and I would link our computers together to play and chat. If I damaged this one rat, my teammate could get up behind it and finish it off with a backstab next turn. Rather than everyone talking over each other during hectic action, the turn-based nature of Demeo meant that my crew and I could carefully talk through turns between actions. That creates a perfect pace and flow for a multiplayer game.
It plays out like a regular grid-based tactics game where players trade turns, via initiative order, as they move throughout the dungeon. My basic attack card did a little bit of damage, though other cards would let me hit an enemy with a poison arrow or summon an ice elemental. In my party, I took the role of a ranger who could pepper enemies with arrows from afar. Each character class has its own set of cards, which range from healing flasks to special attacks. Like any good dungeon crawler, there’s a load of enemies and piles of loot to get through between points A and B. The ultimate goal is to find a key on each level and the exit it unlocks. Each player gets two actions, which they can use to move through the dungeon or play cards from their hand. Up to four players form an adventuring crew and place their figures on a board. For the uninitiated, Demeo is a dungeon crawler laid out like a board game.
