About
Welcome to the arena, champions! Demeo Battles is a competitive player-versus-player turn-based strategy game for one-to-four players. Uncover synergies between a cast of mighty champions and battle it out in fierce grid-based action combat.
Demeo Battles is a fast-paced, pick-up-and-play tabletop game designed for newcomers and Demeo veterans alike. Challenge your adversaries across diverse arenas precisely crafted for intense player-versus-player competition. Duke it out in one-versus-one or two-versus-two tactical matches with full cross-play support between flatscreen PC play and compatible virtual reality headsets.
Assemble armies of monstrous minions, choose from a class of heroic champions, and claim victory. Between champions and minions, Demeo Battles offers a wide variety of characters allowing carefully catered playstyles for all. With 89 possible cards to choose from, the strategic possibilities are nearly endless. Will you take a calculated approach, or bestow devastating destruction onto your opponents?
The opposition is not the only threat you face, as The Burn awaits its next victim. The ever-encroaching flood of lava consistently works its way towards the center of the board as players contend for coveted glory. The flames cause immense damage to any player or monster caught in its path. Within the heat of battle, The Burn spells defeat for anyone caught in its destruction.
