Developer Gemdrops has announced a COGEN: Sword of Rewind playable demo is now available for PC and consoles, letting players try out the game ahead of its forthcoming release.
While the COGEN: Sword of Rewind playable demo is now available for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 4 – the Switch demo is curiously delayed and will come sometime later.
Here’s a rundown on the COGEN: Sword of Rewind playable demo:
This demo contains a special stage not available in the full game.
Can you reach the boss and defeat it within the time limit, or will you run out of time and be sent back to the Title screen to start over? The clock’s ticking, and only your skill will see you through!
(Beating the boss also sends you back to the Title screen, but it’s so much more satisfying this way.)
Saved data from the demo will not be carried over to the full version of the game.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
Fight, Die, Rewind
A new kind of Sword ActionStory
The heroine Kohaku wakes up in a factory she’s never seen before. Lying in front of her is a precious sword.
Speaking of its own free will, the sword introduces itself as ExeBreaker. Within ExeBreaker exists the ouroboros system, the power to rewind time up to 3 seconds.
Still unsure of what’s going on, Kohaku follows ExeBreakers lead. Soon she comes upon Cogen City, her home, in complete disarray.
With ExeBreaker in hand, Kohaku fights to unravel the mysteries of what’s left of the altered Cogen City.
Optimize the Action by Rewinding Time when you Die!
The main feature of this game is “Time Reversal (Ouroboros System)”, the power to rewind time up to 3 seconds the instant you die.
Rewind to the perfect moment and continue to as if you had never failed. Use that trial and error to optimize your advance through the game.
COGEN: Sword of Rewind is set to launch across Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PlayStation 4 on January 27th, 2022.
