Culdcept The First Demo
Family Friendly Gaming News
Karlstad, Sweden – 4 June, in the year of our Lord 2026
- Clear River Games, a video game publisher specialising in
classic and retro games, in partnership with developers City
Connection and series creators Omiya Soft, announced today that
a demo of Culdcept The First, the return of highly-regarded 1997
SEGAź Saturn title Culdcept The First, is available to download
today!
With its engrossing deck-building gameplay, enchanting fantasy
setting and beautiful artwork, Culdcept The First grew a cult
following upon launch and has long been the envy of digital
board game fans in the West. However Clear River Games and City
Connection are fulfilling those long-awaited wishes by bringing
it to a new audience with Culdcept The First. The new release
will include the original classic with English subtitles, a
first for the game, plus quality of life features.
Entering the Culdra Space universe, players will need to
fine-tune their Book, a 50-card deck, to traverse the map and
strategically wield their cards in battle. Placing a creature is
a claim of territory and using Spell Cards can have monumental
impact from manipulating dice rolls, supporting creatures to
sabotaging rivals. In Culdcept The First players are guided by
the roll of the dice, to their victory or defeat.
Players of the Culdcept The First demo will experience
first-hand the highly tactical nature of the game, and although
progressing across the map is no easy feat, players needn’t go
down without a fight. Those who snatch victory from the jaws of
defeat will be rewarded with a random set of cards based on
ranking which they can integrate into their Book and strengthen
their abilities ready for the next encounter.
While the demo is a work in progress, any cards obtained in the
Culdcept The First demo, which includes one stage of Story Mode
and one map in Battle Mode, can be carried over to the full
Steam version.
Culdcept The First features quality-of-life enhancements
including:
Rewind the game to any point where a Checkpoint was passed at a
Fort or the Castle.
Quick Save & Load* enables gamers to save and load at any time,
independent of the main game's standard save function.
Bonus Pack increases the number of Reward Cards received at the
end of a match. (can be toggled ON/OFF in the options menu).
Reveal Hands is a brand-new feature allowing gamers to
constantly display both their own and their opponent's hand
on-screen—information that was only visible at specific times in
the original version. Reveal Hands can be toggled ON/OFF, and
the display size adjusts automatically depending on the game's
screen layout.
Language Switching allows gamers to play the game in either
Japanese or English.
Culdcept The First will launch on Steam on 30th July and will be
coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
systems soon after.
*The new Quick Save & Load feature cannot be used in the demo.
