The demo consists of the opening portion of the game. It’s been available for the Nintendo Switch for a couple of weeks now and from what I’ve seen you can enjoy at least a couple of hours of the game: a few dungeons to raid, monsties to battle, and weapons to upgrade. The limitations include only one save slot, no multiplayer, and a level max of 11. You can play after reaching level 11, you just won’t accrue any XP. You can also carry your progress over to the main game if you then decide to buy it in full. You’ll get more out of grabbing it than dealing with Steam’s two-hour refund limit. Kudos to Capcom for providing it. If you’re convinced after playing the demo, the full game is £50 / €60 / $60 on Steam. I just said “they should call in Pokemonster Hunter” out loud and the only audience was my cat, who was briefly distracted by her very important cat activities to give this look. Enjoy.
