Pragmata: Impressions from the Gamescom 2025 Demo
Even though it didn’t appear at Opening Night Live, the Capcom team brought a dedicated booth for PRAGMATA to Gamescom. Giving attendees of the Cologne event a chance to try the Demo live. Which is exactly what our Kilian got to test.
The demo allowed players to experiment with the mix of Gameplay between hacking, exploration, and action sequences. The main face buttons on the controller are used during the Hacking phase to navigate a grid. The first enemies have 3×3 and 4×4 grids, and you’ll have to watch out for certain boxes that could erase your progress.
All this while watching out for enemy attacks on the duo, involving dodging and counter-attacking. This creates an interesting mix of hacking and real-time combat that builds up some serious tension. The demo wraps up with a Boss Fight against a massive robot to restore power to the Lunar Base. You’ll be dodging missiles and close-range attacks while hacking and destroying its weak points.
