Warota: I Live Next to the Demon King’s Castle LOL is now available on Steam Early Access for $24.99, with a 10% launch discount through November 20. Developed by Team Earth Wars and published by One or Eight Inc., the action RPG combines village rebuilding with battles against a troublesome pop-idol Demon King.
The Early Access release includes the first chapter, which the developer estimates represents approximately 25% of the planned content. Version 1.0 is currently scheduled for 2027.
Rebuild Luna Beside a Party-Loving Demon King
You play as a Bounder, reincarnated on Luna and granted the power of creation by a goddess. Unfortunately, your new home has been wrecked by Platina, a Demon King whose idol performances encourage an army of mischievous followers.
Restoring the village means collecting resources, constructing homes, and keeping residents supplied. You can chop trees, mine ore, and hunt for food, then bring those materials home to support construction and prepare meals.
Recruiting neighbors also strengthens your efforts against Platina. Villagers can contribute labor at home or accompany you on quests, making them part of the rebuilding process and the fighting.
Magical Hats Grant Jobs to You and Your Villagers
More than 20 classes provide different abilities, including Farmer, Woodcutter, Warrior, and Mage. Magical hats determine those roles, letting you adapt your abilities to the task ahead.
You can also lend hats to villagers, granting them class abilities before assigning work. Alternatively, bring them into combat to help them grow stronger.
That system connects village management with character development, giving the same recruits uses across gathering, construction, and quests.
Stack Blessings to Defend Your Home
Platina’s concerts stir up her followers, threatening the settlement you’ve built. Tracks include “Heartful-ful-ful Bokko” by Maron-san.
To prepare, you can earn blessings from Goddess Statues scattered across Luna. These let you stack bonuses affecting elemental effects, recovery speed, and power, adjusting your capabilities before defending the village.
Warota supports English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. The Steam Early Access launch discount ends November 20 at 6:59 a.m. PST, with the full release planned for 2027.
