What’s happening at Next Fest

Wyldheart is a co-op action RPG from Wayfinder Studios, published by Curve Games, and ranks among the 20 most-played Next Fest demos in the latest snapshot. It is set in the fallen kingdom of Caerwyn.

What makes the game stand out

The Steam listing describes bite-sized campaigns where players investigate rumors, explore ruins and shape a character from the ground up. That structure could make a large fantasy setting easier to enjoy in shorter sessions with friends.

Who may want to try it

Players who like developing a character alongside friends may be interested in its co-op campaign format. The demo offers an early way to see whether its smaller adventures still feel connected to a larger world.

Playable demo: Yes — Play the Wyldheart demo on Steam. Choose the demo download button on the Steam page.

Rowan, Single-Player & RPG Contributor

Hello, Rowan here, I generally play a lot of single player RPGs specifically games with fast paced action and a distinct story line like Exp33 or Elden Ring. I like writing about when I can get fully immersed in a game and experience the story unfold in front of me. Or that my choices carry weight on what happens. Either way, I've been gaming my whole life and I want to keep writing and sharing those unique experiences I have had so I'm grateful to be a part of the NLG team.
