For the first time a demo of Square Heroes has been released. Demo players are able to create and jump into online matches, so expect an influx of new players! The online modes are a huge part of the game, but we can't give everything away for free. The demo has these limitations:

• 3 out of the 19 Single Player levels.
  
• No Achievements, and hence no stat tweaking hats!
  
• XP Level capped at 5 rather than 30.
  
• 5 default weapons plus 4 weapons to unlock.

• Nuke explosion effect (when you get it, you will see it).
  
• Numerous bug fixes.

Happy Hunting :D

PS: No need to go easy on the demo players. Even though they can't upgrade to the Sticky Bombs, Proximity Mines, Nuke bags and Molotovs, the weapons are balanced enough for them to cause you plenty of grief!
