PlatyGuard: Roguelike Swarm Slayer Open Beta Launches in Select Regions

PlatyGuard: Swarm Slayer Kicks Off Open Beta in Select Countries

ChillyRoom has made a decisive move by launching the Open Beta for its new mobile game, PlatyGuard: Swarm Slayer, in several key global markets. This unique Roguelike RPG, known for its dark sci-fi, post-apocalyptic Biopunk setting, is now directly accessible to players on Google Play in countries including the United States (US), Canada (CA), Brazil (BR), the United Kingdom (GB), India (IN), Singapore (SG), Malaysia (MY), Australia (AU), New Zealand (NZ), and the Philippines (PH).

For players outside of these regions, including those in countries such as Thailand, the game is also simultaneously opening for Global Pre-Registration on both Android and Apple platforms.

Open Beta Access and Global Pre-Registration

The Open Beta allows players in the select regions to jump directly into the game. This phase is crucial for testing server stability and gathering real-world combat feedback.

• Open Beta Regions (Direct Play): Players in the US, CA, BR, GB, IN, SG, MY, AU, NZ, and PH can download and play the game immediately via Google Play.
• Global Pre-Registration (Upcoming Launch): For the rest of the world, including countries such as Thailand, pre-registration is available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Pre-registering ensures players receive an immediate notification upon the game’s full launch.
• Launch Rewards: To celebrate this phase, players are being offered a special pre-launch code for 10 Summoning Stones, a valuable resource for starting the game strong.

Core Gameplay and Style

PlatyGuard: Swarm Slayer is a distinctive 2D action roguelike platformer RPG. Players assume the role of a “Platyguard,” a unique duckbill warrior in a world overrun by mutated creatures.

• Rhythmic Combat: The intense combat is built around a rhythm of precise actions:
  • Parry: Mastering split-second parrying to deflect incoming attacks.
  • Counter: Executing powerful counterattacks and combo strings after a successful parry.
  • Guard Break: Breaking enemy defenses to land crushing finishing blows.
• Build Variety: The Roguelike nature ensures that every run is different, offering players the freedom to create highly customized playstyles by mixing and matching over one hundred different skills and items.

The game’s aesthetic, blending gritty dark sci-fi with biopunk elements, provides a visually striking backdrop for the high-stakes, skill-based action.

Our Take: The Biopunk Duckbill Revolution

The fact that this brilliantly weird roguelike has skipped straight to an Open Beta in so many major regions—including key Southeast Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines—shows massive confidence from ChillyRoom. This isn’t a soft test; this is them throwing down the gauntlet and daring players to try and break their beautifully chaotic parry system. The rest of the world, like Thailand, gets to watch the chaos unfold while pre-registering, which is almost as fun. The sheer novelty of a dark sci-fi duckbill warrior should be enough to draw players in, but the high-risk, high-reward parry-and-counter combat is what will keep them hooked until the global launch. Let the duckbill revolution begin!
