Bloodthief Demo Update: Play the Latest Version Now

Bloodthief demo update, the fast-paced vampire melee runner game is now sharper than ever on Linux and Windows PC. All thanks to the creative mind of solo developer Blargis. Experience fresh thrills at every corner, which you can play for Free on Steam.

Solo dev and YouTuber Blargis – yeah, the same guy whose devlogs have pulled in over 4 million views – just released a major Bloodthief demo update for Steam Next Fest. And if you’ve got a thirst for blood, speed, and medieval mayhem, this is worth sinking your teeth into.

You play as a relentless vampire tearing through haunted castles and grimy dungeons. It's a high-speed, first-person vampire melee runner. The game’s all about hacking, slashing, and sprinting your way to glory. Let’s be real: nothing feels better than vaulting off a wall, slicing through some cursed knight, and drinking their blood mid-air. This boosts your speed like a turbo-charged Dracula.

This isn’t just another dark fantasy romp. Every ounce of blood you collect fuels your powers and your speed. That’s right – the faster you kill, the faster you move. Whether you’re carving your path through hordes or discovering dark shortcuts, Bloodthief keeps the adrenaline pumping around every corner. This is powered by the exciting demo update.

Bloodthief - Official Demo Update Trailer

Now here’s the juicy bit: with the Bloodthief demo update, there’s a whole new level, a new bladed weapon (yes, it’s as brutal as it sounds), and three hidden artifacts you’ll need to find to unlock it. The demo takes about an hour to beat if you're just blasting through. If you're a completionist like me, expect up to 20 hours of exploring every dark corner, unlocking powerups, encountering enemy types, and unravelling the secrets that haunt the walls.

Oh, and Blargis isn’t stopping there. He’s kicking off a gameplay with a Speedrunning Challenge. It runs from June 9, 2025, at 10AM PST to June 16, 2025, at 11:59PM PST. Your mission? Complete a “Full Game Inbounds” run of the demo and post it on Speedrun.com. With this Bloodthief demo update here, if you’re fast enough – and I mean fangs-bared, pixel-perfect fast – you could also win one of five Steam gift cards. These range from $100 to $25.

Even if you don’t top the leaderboard, everyone who submits a valid run gets a custom Discord role and a special in-game badge when the full version launches. That’s some eternal bragging rights right there.

Here’s a taste of what you’re in for:

Speed is survival – wall-running, vaulting, and blood-boosting through levels at breakneck speed.

Combat that hits hard – chop, slash, and kick enemies across the map with a variety of brutal melee weapons.

Secrets behind every stone – discover hidden paths, unlock deadly new abilities, and reveal the chilling lore buried in these cursed halls.

Best part? With the Bloodthief update out now, the demo is fully playable on Linux and Windows PC via Steam, and it’s localized in a bunch of languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.

So what are you waiting for? Fire up Steam, grab the Bloodthief demo update, and show the world you’ve got the fastest fangs in the castle. Or just come for the vampire melee runner chaos – we won't judge. Since you can try for Free on Linux or Windows PC.

Bloodthief preview is fast-paced vampire dungeon action

Bloodthief is a very fast melee dungeon-runner game with an extended Demo coming to Linux and Windows PC. Thanks to the creative genius of developer Blargis, who keeps making gameplay even more unforgettable. Which you can play for Free on Steam. If you haven't sunk your fangs into Bloodthief yet, you're seriously missing out. This ultra-fast, stab-happy vampire action game is tearing through Steam, and it's about to get even bloodier. Starting June 9th, the Bloodthief demo will be part of Steam Next Fest, and you’ll want to clear your schedule. Already hooked on the current Bloodthief demo? Good news: the extended version drops during the Fest, and it’s packing way more heat (and bite). We’re talking a whole new level, a new weapon, and three hidden artifacts you’ll need to find if you want to unlock the good stuff. It’s a vampire’s playground with a nasty edge, and it’s just waiting for you to go full beast mode. For those just joining the bloodbath, Bloodthief is a lightning-fast melee parkour demo that throws you into gritty medieval castles and cursed dungeons. You’re not just running and slicing—you’re feeding, using your enemies' blood to fuel your powers and become an unstoppable nightmare. It’s violent. It’s stylish. And, due to be brutally fun.

Bloodthief - Official Demo Trailer

Developed by YouTuber Blargis — whose devlogs have blown up with over 4 million views — while having already built a loyal speedrunning community. And they’re not just button mashers — these players are shaving seconds, mastering routes, and pushing every corner of the game to its limit. The current Bloodthief demo alone offers about an hour of core gameplay, but if you’re a 100% kind of player? You’re looking at up to 20 hours of secret-hunting, power-chasing, enemy-slicing goodness. What makes this even better? The melee dungeon-runner demo fully supports Linux (alongside Windows PC), so if you're rocking a Linux rig like me, you're all set to rip and tear without compromise. And it’s available in 9 languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese (BR), Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese. Right now, this title is also in the thick of Steam’s Zombies vs. Vampires Fest. So if you needed an excuse to go full vampire, this is it. No sunlight, no garlic — just pure, high-speed bloodlust. Mark your calendars, sharpen those claws, and get ready to feed. The extended Bloodthief demo releases on June 9th during Steam Next Fest. This melee dungeon-runner is gonna be messy—in the best possible way.
