Anomaly President is your path to the presidency. But to achieve your dream and get your revenge as bloody as possible you'll need to take down countless gangs and criminals serving the Evil President.
Wield a wide arsenal of powerful anomaly-infused weapons, from the Anomaly Hammer and Octo-Arms to sword, staff, nunchucks, kusarigama, and more.
Anomaly President gives you wild and creative ways to obliterate brainwashed fanatics and powerful henchmen.
Between the battles, you will be tending to your campaign bus and build it room by room to enhance the way you play and lead the revolution.
Dive into mini-games where the real campaigning take place. Dance with your people, gracefully throw presents at them, and give speeches to win over their hearts and minds. This is how you lead a double life and become the Anomaly President.
Thanks to your incredible feedback, you can now lead the anomaly-fueled revolution on the go!
The real journey for Anomaly President begins today. As we enter Early Access, we'll be gathering your feedback across our socials and Discord server to help shape Anomaly President into the best game it can be.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to the second episode of Anomaly President: Road to Early Access, where we share what we've been working on as we get closer to our Early Access launch on August 3, 2026!
Before we dive in, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who played the Anomaly President demo and shared their feedback. More than 27,000 players have downloaded the demo, and seeing that level of support has been incredible for our small team. We genuinely can't thank you enough.
Seriously, thank you! ❤️
In this update, we're giving you a first look at two brand new work-in-progress weapons, the Hammer and Octo-Arms, alongside a brand new boss fight, portal mechanic, lots of new Fluffies, a roster of new enemies, and several new bus rooms coming to Anomaly President before it launches in Early Access this August. (August 3, 2026)
We’re aiming to ensure that eight weapons are available at the start of Early Access to offer you a wide variety of combat options in every run.
Hammer and Octo-Arms are some of the latest weapons joining the full anomaly weapon arsenal. They still require lots of polishing and overall improvements. What do you think?
Here's the full list of weapons alongside your kicks and punches that will be available at the Early Access launch:
Sword
Nunchucks
Claws
Kusarigama
Staff
Hammer (work in progress)
Octo-Arms (work in progress)
Meet the Bigman, one of the strongest henchmen of the Evil President.
His fight animations are still a work in progress, as we're putting a lot of effort into making the fight feel intense to really emphasize his massive size and overwhelming presence. He is called the Bigman, after all.
Here's a sneak peek at some of the animations we're currently working on.
The Evil President's army continues to grow with really weird folks that are either grotesque by nature or altered by Evil President’s anomaly-filled experiments. Among the newest additions are the Viking, and Werewolf with more enemies on the way!
Part of President Raxford's superhero team, Viking (placeholder name) is a force of nature who can easily deflect your attacks and deal massive damage if you are not quick enough.
She is also constantly moving on the battlefield and has a long range dodge, allowing herself to swiftly avoid your attacks.
He is a gentleman, if you don’t press his buttons…of course. Here are some of the work-in-progress animations of the Gentleman.
The campaign bus is the backbone of your journey to the presidency in Anomaly President. It's your mobile base of operations, and every room you unlock directly affects your abilities and playstyle each run.
We're currently working on three brand new rooms: the Dance Room, Gift Room, and Marketing Room.
Here's a quick look at what they do:
Dance Room: Dance Room unlocks the Dancing minigame and lets you win over the hearts of your potential voters with some solid dance moves.
Gift Room: Gift Room unlocks a new minigame that allows you to give presents to the people. It's an essential room if you want to win the hearts of the people.
Marketing Room: Marketing Room unlocks new areas on the campaign map that will create more revenue for your campaign.
If the campaign bus is the backbone of your quest, then the Fluffies are its soul.
These adorable and oppressed creatures are determined to help you defeat the Evil President and make sure your campaign succeeds. No matter the cost.
Here are some of the new Fluffies you'll encounter throughout your journey in Anomaly President.

Hey everyone!
The wait is officially over. We are incredibly excited to announce that the Anomaly President Demo is officially live and playable right now on Steam!
This is a highly focused slice of our core loop. It will give you a first taste of what it’s like to manage a political campaign by day and fight a corrupt administration by night. Here is a quick breakdown of what you’ll be diving into in the demo version of Anomaly President!
Take to the Streets: Explore and battle through the opening region of the game. We’ve put together a specially curated lineup of enemy types just for this demo to test your combat reflexes.
Face the First Boss: Think you're ready for the big leagues? Test your skills and anomaly powers against the Minister of Public Relations and her... "cute" friend. Let's see if you can survive her charm offensive.
Master the Arsenal: Experiment with 4 distinct weapons and get your first look at a slice of our permanent meta-progression tree. Mix, match, find your favorite playstyle, and light the very first sparks of the revolution.
Since we are marching toward our Early Access launch on August 3rd, your feedback during this demo will be incredibly helpful. Please share your opinions on the Anomaly President Demo page or just join our Discord server to let us know what you think of the combat, the campaign bus, and the Fluffies, or anything else!
If you have enjoyed your time in the Anomaly President Demo, and would like to continue taking down an evil establishment today, please hit that Wishlist button on our main store page. It helps us immensely with the Steam algorithm.
Now go grab your weapons, hone your anomaly powers, rescue some Fluffies, and let's win this election!
Hello everyone!
Welcome to the first episode of Road to Early Access, where we share the work-in-progress bits of Anomaly President, a presidential roguelike action game where you gather votes by day and fight brainwashed fanatics by night.
We've been working hard on Anomaly President, and we're so excited to finally pull back the curtain and show you how it's being made.
Backing up your campaign is a team of Fluffies. They're very cute, capable, and they are quite tired of being oppressed by the current evil president.
You'll work with them to upgrade your campaign bus, dive into some base-building, ask for their help during combat, and try to keep your head above water as you juggle your double life.
Look how cute she looks despite being born as a spiky maul that’s about to obliterate the Evil President’s henchmen.
We've been inspired by lots of different themes while working on Fluffies. The ones below are just a glimpse into the number of Fluffies we’ve been designing.
Big cinema fan over here. So making this Fluffy was a no-brainer.
Another no-brainer one is a kamikaze Fluffy, naturally.
We're also working on finisher animations in the boss fights. While there's still internal debate on the one for the Security Minister,
One of the most powerful pawns of the Evil President, Security Minister is incredibly strong; despite being torn into half in this animation.
Here are three iterations we've worked on so far.
This finisher is still a work in progress. We've tested a few different versions but we're keeping our options open. We might even go in a completely new direction based on your feedback, so let us know what you think.
The Abomination is another boss fight currently in development. While there is still plenty of work ahead, we're excited to share an early glimpse of what's to come.
As you can see, The Minister of Public Relations sits so arrogantly on the head of the Abomination during the boss fight. We've explored different options to include her in the finisher as well.
Abomination is a disgusting beast controlled by the Minister of Public Relations. Here’s one of the iterations we’ve made for the Abomination boss fight finisher.
We also have an alternative version where the Minister of Public Relations falls to the ground. It’s pretty cool but there’s still some internal debate on it, with animations still being polished.
Here’s more than a glimpse into the world of Anomaly President, its combat, base-building mechanics, and the lovely Fluffies, definitely check out our trailer above.

Hello everyone,
After months of gathering feedback, introducing new weapons, improving QoL, and gathering feedback, we think it's time to set an Early Access date!
Anomaly President will land on Steam Early Access on August 3, 2026!
To celebrate, we've cooked up a short gameplay trailer that was featured on Future Games Show 2026!
Thanks to your love, support, and honest feedback, Anomaly President is hopefully shaping up to be a really solid roguelike where you gather votes by day, and punch brainwashed fanatics by night.
A massive thank you goes to our players. If you want to do more and take part in this journey, join our Discord server!
