Press release:
Athens, Greece, 24 July 2026 | Indie developer SOTO Game Studio is proud to announce that their debut game, Luminas: Parasite Reign, is officially released into Early Access on Steam. Fight massive enemy waves, defeat unique bosses, unlock powerful treasures, and build synergies through multiple skill paths in this single-player, party-based survivor roguelite.

A Party-Based Bullet Heaven
Welcome to the voxel world of Luminas: Parasite Reign, a party-based roguelite where the key to survival is strategy. Control up to three unique Luminas, magical beings fighting back against the monstrous Parasites corrupting the world of Solaris Land. With waves of enemies, epic boss battles, and evolving abilities, every run is a fight for survival and a chance to grow stronger.

Build Your Dream Team
Each Lumina offers distinct elemental powers that will define your party’s playstyle. There are eight different Luminas to choose from, each with unique spells and playstyles to define your party. Glass Cannon builds, Tank builds, Death/Revive builds, and more are available to fit your unique playstyle. Over twenty parasites are out there dying to devour you, so build the team you know can beat them back!

Evolve, Combine, Progress
Luminas can evolve during your runs and gain extra abilities and stats, and certain Lumina pairs can even combine their abilities to create combos. You can even leverage rule-changing corruptions that expand the roster and up enemy difficulty to introduce fresh new challenges. With so many paths to evolve, combine, learn, and corrupt, each run feels fresh, new, and full of discovery.

Surviving the Storm, Together!
This Early Access launch includes three dynamic maps, eight playable Luminas, and over 90 treasures to discover and combine. Player feedback during Early Access will help shape new modes, Luminas, spells, maps, and bosses as Solaris Land continues to evolve. Are you ready to awaken the power within and stand against the Parasite tide?

Collect 8 different Luminas and optimize each of their individual elemental spell abilities to take your build in the direction of your choice
