Neverland Entertainment, CreSpirit, and GemaYue announced a closed playtest for TEVI will be held, allowing players to try out a demo of the new bullet hell Metroidvania game. A newly published gameplay trailer also shows what players can expect from the playtest.
TEVI incorporates elements from GemaYue’s previous “Bunnyvania” title Rabi-Ribi while introducing new gameplay mechanics. Players will explore a vast pixel art world as Tevi, a protagonist with deadly fighting prowess. She’s able to make use of fast-paced movement and various moves with her dagger to quickly take out enemies. After “Breaking” enemies, she’s able to extend her combos and deal even more damage. TEVI’s combat and world is bolstered by character designs from RWBY illustrator Ein Lee and an original soundtrack by composers Triodust (OPUS) and 3R2 (Hatsune Miku, Dusk Diver 2).
TEVI Closed Playtest Demo Announced
After reading our TEVI preview, eager players will soon be able to try out the game in an upcoming closed playtest on Steam. In the closed playtest, players may experience a portion of the full game’s world and exhilarating boss combat. The demo runtime is expected to be roughly two to three hours, and 3,000 players will be selected to participate.
TEVI closed playtest demo sign-ups are now available at the official website until July 16. Activation keys will be delivered between July 18 and July 20. The playtest demo period will run from July 21 to August 1, giving players roughly one month to try out the demo and experience all of the exciting content it has to offer.
“We’re thrilled to give fans who have eagerly awaited an in-depth look at TEVI the chance to do so with this new gameplay video and upcoming playtest,” said David, CEO of CreSpirit, “It has been an honor to collaborate with so many talented creators on TEVI, and we’ll continue working hard as development progresses to deliver a fantastical bullet hell Metroidvania.”
