Beast Tide: Slay to Ascend Demo

This is the free demo of Beast Tide: Slay to Ascend.

Beast Tide: Slay to Ascend is a top-down roguelite survival game set in a world of immortal cultivation. Follow the path of the sword, temper your body, wield talismans, or pursue another discipline. Shape your build with Innate Traits, Cultivation Arts, Dao Foundations, Artifacts, and Divine Arts. Carve through demonic hordes, gather cultivation, and break through each realm until you face the tribulation of ascension!

Many Paths, One Ascent

Command flying swords, shatter enemies with your fists, pierce their ranks with arrows, or summon thunder through talismans. Choose a cultivation discipline and an Innate Trait to lay your foundation. Push your greatest strength to its limit, or find an unexpected way to overcome your weaknesses.

As your journey unfolds, establish a Dao Foundation that turns the way you fight into lasting growth for the run. Combine traits, arts, artifacts, and divine powers: even those who walk the same path may reach very different heights.

Study the Classics. Refine Your Power.

Practice the Eight-Nine Arcane Art to strengthen your vitality and defenses. Study the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon to sustain yourself in battle. Seek the many possible gifts of the Celestial Immortal Formula.

Each level-up brings growth from your chosen Cultivation Art. Will you forge a tougher body or cultivate greater destructive power? Choose one of three offered scriptures and set the course of your ascent.

Unleash Artifacts of Legend

The Heaven-Turning Seal crashes down upon your foes. The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation cuts through their ranks. The Five Fires, Seven Birds Fan sets demons ablaze, while the Heaven-Sweeping Cloak spreads out to bind them.

Choose an Artifact that complements your path and make its power your ally. As the horde closes in, use its reach, timing, and control to open a way through.

Awaken Divine Arts

Manifest the Cosmic Avatar and shake the earth with golden fists. Send Samadhi True Fire sweeping through the horde. Master Myriad Swords Return, gathering flying blades into a living domain of steel. Or invoke the Nine Syllables Mantra and draw upon a randomly chosen empowering word each wave.

A Divine Art changes how you fight. Bring it together with your weapons and cultivation strengths, and grow from a fledgling cultivator into a force that demons must reckon with.

Reach Spirit Transformation. Claim Your Name.

Rise through Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul to reach Spirit Transformation. Now choose a supreme Dao Name of your own, and let it echo through the ages.

Will you become Hellwarden Venerable, or carve another name into legend? Bear it above your character, bring your hard-won power to the final trial, and forge your own tale of ascension.
