Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector demo coming during Next Fest

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming demo of Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector. Having had the pleasure of immersing myself in the original game, I can confidently say that this sequel is shaping up to be a masterpiece.


Developer “Age of Conan: Unchained” has revealed that a limited-time demo for “Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector” will be included in the Steam gaming event, Steam Next Fest.

During the timeframe of October 14th to October 21st, Steam Next Fest is taking place. If you’re interested in giving Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector a spin, make sure to snag its demo within that window. The developer notes that the sequel reinforces the RPG elements from the original game. In the demo, players will delve into Hexport, the game’s initial setting, where they can investigate their ship, meet their crew, and take on their first two contracts.


 

In a fascinating twist, the long-awaited follow-up to last year’s critically acclaimed RPG, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, immerses players into the Starward Belt, a gritty yet captivating collection of dwellings nestled amid an asteroid belt brimming with hidden mysteries, compelling narratives, and inhabitants struggling to survive.

As an artificially created being resembling a human mind, you’re in a body that isn’t truly yours. You’re evading the corporation responsible for your creation, along with a group aiming to manipulate you. Your mission is to seize control of a spaceship, assemble a crew and allies, and undertake demanding tasks while working towards creating your own destiny.

As a seasoned gamer, I immerse myself in an intriguing world where I decide my character’s class, fine-tune my abilities, and gather a motley crew for an unforgettable tabletop gaming experience. The fate that lies ahead is not written; it depends on the whim of a dice roll as I grapple with challenging decisions in this intricate universe. Embracing the acclaimed mechanics of Citizen, I’m ready to redefine my destiny and carve out my own path.

Here’s some of the key features for the game from the Steam page:

  • Contracts offer a new kind of focussed, tactical gameplay to the Citizen Sleeper experience. You’ll need to prepare carefully and choose the right approach for these multi-cycle, high-risk, high-reward jobs, but you’ll also have to react and adapt to both the roll of the dice and the twists and turns of each task.
  • Nothing in the Belt ever runs smooth, including your artificial body. Citizen Sleeper’s revolutionary dice system returns, revised for the sequel. Manage your stress or take damage to your dice. Deal with glitches as they accrue in your system. Push yourself to get lucky and make this cycle count.
  • Each character class now has a unique “Push” ability, upgradable and customisable, that can help you turn the tide of a difficult job or send you into a dangerous spiral depending on how and when you choose to use it. Reroll your dice to change your fate, or focus a single die to bet everything on a big success. Each class offers different tactical possibilities.
  • Player choice is a massive part of the Citizen Sleeper experience, and the sequel deepens this with new skill checks that allow you to express your class and character in scenes, as well as branching storylines that will ask you to make hard choices. The future of your character is up to you.

Citizen Sleeper 2 is coming in 2025.
