Original Post — Direct link

I'm interested in another ARPG to hold me over while I wait for the next PoE league but really not keen to drop money on an early access game (gj wolcen lol) Checking out the roadmap from the stickied post there's a demo planned but I don't know how far through the plan the devs are.

Is the demo available to try out or do they want the game to be in a better spot before they let everyone check it out?

Heyo!

Thanks for being interested in Last Epoch. :D

So, there's been a few demos we've discussed thus far;

  • There were multiple free demos released between late 2017 and early 2018.
  • We plan to release a new free demo while the game is in Early Access.
  • At release, we'll also have a free trial up to level 20 so folks can try out the game.

The original demos have been retired as they're very significantly outdated by now. We haven't yet released the demo referenced in Phase 1 of our Early Access Forecast, as we're currently working to update our game engine, and having the game and the demo using different versions would complicate our ability to later update the demo if needed.

Unfortunately I don't currently have an ETA to share regarding the demo, but it is still planned.

I noticed in response to /u/tzor7 you mentioned that you'd like to try the game for longer than the 2 hours allowed by Steam's refund policy. The policy that applies to purchases through our own site is somewhat different - if you're interested, you could check out our Last Epoch Order Refunds and Replacements support article for more information.
