New Autobattler Roguelike ’Guildrun’ Hits 100,000 Steam Wishlists Few Days after Announcement
New autobattler roguelike from Leyline surpasses 10,000 peak concurrent players in first weekend.
Indie game studio Leyline is thrilled to announce that roguelike autobattler Guildrun has surpassed 100,000 wishlists on Steam less than four days after its announcement. Guildrun’s public demo reached more than 10,000 peak concurrent players during its opening weekend, earning a 95% ”Very Positive” rating. The demo is now the top #1 trending demo on Steam, with the full game scheduled to launch on Steam in 2027.
“Of course, we had some projections on how it could go, but this exceeded our wildest expectations. To be honest, we have yet to process what happened. Over the weekend, it was a big surprise seeing thousands of players, the positive reception and many content creators loving our game and posting daily videos on it.
Leyline built Guildrun together with their players. The game was released to a group of alpha testers at the earliest stages of development that evolved into a lively community. Leyline updated their alpha multiple times each week, listening to players and reacting to feedback all the way up to the demo launch last week.
At the creative core of Guildrun is a blend of two highly replayable genres: roguelikes and auto battlers. Players can build a team of unique heroes each run into an unstoppable force as they explore deadly rifts and evolve their builds run after run through traits, items and relics to crush waves of monsters.
