Live until March 10, Tempest Rising’s Steam Next Fest demo features the first two missions from each of the game’s two single-player campaigns. In a battle-scarred, alternate-history 1997 where the Cuban Missile Crisis went nuclear, you’ll experience fast, fluid and hard-hitting RTS warfare as both the Global Defense Forces (GDF) and Tempest Dynasty (DYN) factions, each with their own unique units and strategies. Players can also face off against the AI in the demo’s PvE skirmish mode, which features three maps.
