Demo FAQ

Demo Length, Platforms, and Saves

This is a historical demo FAQ: the demo covered a slice of two Story campaigns, not a short hour estimate or the full six-nation game. Steam now marks the PC full game released on 26 Aug 2026; demo facts below remain dated to their original sources.

How Long Is the Demo?

There is no official hour count. “Demo length” here means content range: two seasons × two campaigns. HowLongToBeat pages for older Brigandine games are a different product and should not be read as this demo’s runtime.

After you finish those seasons, the remaining Story nations and Mission Mode belong to the full release. See Factions and Game Modes for the complete Story list.

For current PC, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox, and regional storefront checks, use Platforms and Release Dates. This page keeps the historical demo scope and save-transfer boundary.

Current storefront checkPlatforms and Release Dates — keeps current regional and platform listing links separate from this historical demo record.

Do Demo Saves Carry Over?

No. The Japanese press release says save data cannot be transferred from the demo to the full version. RPG Site reports the same restriction.

Buying decision Use the demo to test the hex battles and the two opening campaigns. Do not plan a continuous save into the 26–27 August release.

After Launch

The full game is now released on Steam. This page keeps the historical demo boundary for buying decisions; it does not turn demo observations into retail-guide claims. If Steam later adds save transfer or a console demo, that needs a new official source.

Steam demo Ver.1.01: settings to recheck

Added 9 Sep 2026; source dated 8 July. Happinet's producer letter lists V-Sync, frame-rate limits (30/60/120/144/unlimited), ally/enemy colors, unit-size options, equipment-screen purchasing, and mouse-edge scrolling.

The letter says these features also apply to the Steam retail release. It does not establish equivalent console options, a new September patch, or a universal startup-crash fix. For a failed launch, use the separate PC troubleshooting checklist.
