Arc System Works has announced that a new demo for action adventure game DAMON and BABY will be available starting March 19. The new DAMON and BABY demo will be available indefinitely, and the developers promise to make improvements based on player feedback from the Steam Next Fest demo.
According to Arc System Works, an issue where play data rolls back significantly after experiencing a game over will be fixed, and the retry mechanics in boss battles will be improved. Item drops will be more efficient for the player, and there will be improved responsiveness while switching weapons. There will also be a feature that lets players sell items from the Portal Chest at the shop.
