2/27/22 - New demo build available

A newly rebuilt Walthros: Renewal demo is now available, replacing the older version that was available last year. This demo launches players right into the action starting with the game's third mission, the Blue Shrine expedition. After that, players can explore Beta City, make some friends, play an arcade game, and fight some monsters in the Bayswater Woods.

While shorter than the previous release, this is a more feature-complete demo, featuring both turn based and active battle modes, selectable color options, customizable difficulty settings, additional animations, and improved performance. Players start with a variety of healing and attack items to make their introduction to Walthros a little smoother.
