Game overview
What SlashZero is, who publishes it, and how the loop works
SlashZero is a 3D anime-style side-scrolling action roguelike from Streetlamp Studio, published by Skystone Games. You play a Timehacker leaping across shattered timelines to hunt HIEROS-I, the Lord of the Void. Combat mixes ground strings, aerial juggles, and parkour vaults, then layers Blessings, Temporal Fragments, and Upgrade Chips onto each run. The full game is scheduled for Spring 2027 on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and PlayStation 5. A time-limited demo on Steam and PS5 runs from 3 September through 23 September 2026 and wipes save data when it ends. Start with the getting started guide, then check the demo window, the Timehacker roster, and the character tier list.

Lock in combat inputs
Streetlamp recommends a controller. The controls guide explains basic strings, aerial launches, dash-cancels, specials, and ultimates so you stop eating chip damage.

Build around Blessings
Authorities such as True Self of Flame and Law of Thunder reshape your kit mid-run. Use the build primer and the build tier list to stack synergies instead of random icons.
