Frequently Asked Questions
Guildrun questions answered
Is there a free demo?
Yes. The standalone Guildrun Demo is free on Steam and released on July 16, 2026. It is a separate demo app, so use the demo page rather than relying only on the full-game wishlist page.
Where can I play Guildrun?
The current demo is available through Steam for Windows and macOS. Steam is the best place to confirm the live download, supported operating systems, and current system requirements.
Is Guildrun multiplayer or PvP?
The current demo is a single-player PvE experience with no matchmaking queue or PvP ladder. Combat resolves after placement, while you solve each run through board choices, economy, and build pivots.
How many heroes are in the demo?
The official Steam description lists 25 heroes, 180 specializations, 75 specialization paths, 300+ relics, and 100+ items in the demo pool. Unlocks and available choices expand across runs.
What are Shards used for?
Shards are the run resource used to improve your roster and make offers matter. Spend them on useful heroes, ranks, rerolls, relics, and items that support the engine your current run is actually offering.
How does the difficulty system work?
Guildrun has eight difficulty levels, followed by Endless-style scaling. Each successful clear opens a harder challenge with additional pressure, so learn the normal loop before committing to SS, SSS, Red Rift, or deep Endless runs.
When is the full game releasing?
Steam currently lists the full game release as To be announced. Earlier developer material mentioned a 2027 target, but that is not a confirmed launch date; check the official Steam page for the latest status.
Which languages does Steam list?
Steam currently lists English, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Spanish for interface support. The Steam language table is the source to check when support changes.
Can I save a run and return later?
The official feature description says you can think without a combat timer, save mid-run, and return later. That supports the game's slower planning loop, especially when a shop or boss requires a careful pivot.
Where to go next
Start with the beginner guide if you are installing the demo, then use builds, heroes, classes, relics, and patch notes when you need deeper decisions.
