Better late than never, but did you hear that Champion Shift is now available on Steam? What do you mean, you’ve never even heard of it? Would it help if I said it’s one of the better games to play on the Steam Deck if you like rogue-likes?

It may persuade you further if you enjoy playing legendary heroes who can morph into cars. Just think: Ghengis Khan transforming into a Ford Fiesta… ok, perhaps not those examples, but the ones in SRG Studios will fit the bill.

Rather than repeat what I’ve already said about Champion Shift, how about reading through the new list of features?

  • Play as the infamous outlaw, Jesse James, the latest addition to the legendary cast of playable characters that currently include Athena, Gilgamesh, Tomoe Gozen, Sun Wukong, and Vejigante.
  • Collect sixteen ancient and powerful Relics that provide permanent stat boosts through the new Relic system – special quests for each stage.
  • Discover six new Celestial Gifts, expanding the original arsenal of upgradable abilities to include the Wings of Quetzalcoatl, Enki’s Protection, the mighty sword of the legendary paladin Roland, Durendal, and more.
  • Battle through seven more stages, bringing fifteen total unique maps to the game. These new areas can be found on each biome tied to the Relic system.
  • Take on a new Boss, TR-3Y, and see if you have what it takes to take down this new Dominion creation.
  • Encounter four new stage missions, as they bring new mechanics and challenges to each map encounter.
  • Select the next destination and customize game difficulty, unlocking permanent access to any completed biomes and stages, as well as new difficulty levels.
  • Gather fragments and put together Summon companions, Dominion machines that will aid you in battle.
  • Enjoy two new original musical scores for the Alpine and Volcano biomes, with night and day variations, as well as updated music for the final boss encounter.
  • Access additional languages for the game, now supporting English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, French, Italian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and Russian.

Champion Shift is available now on Steam, released from the shackles of Early Access and waiting to get played. By you.
