[h2]Specific Questions about the demo/prologue:[/h2]
Q: Where can I download the demo?
You can download the demo on the Steam page of The Last Spell https://store.steampowered.com/app/1105670/The_Last_Spell/ and also on the page of the prologue https://store.steampowered.com/app/1437010/The_Last_Spell_Prologue/
Q: What is included in the demo/prologue?
The Last Spell Prologue lets you experience the first five days of the final game. You start with only 3 heroes at your disposal, and their weapons are... not the best ones. But they can still make use of cool skills to get rid of those damned monsters! Build up your defenses, protect your city, and slay the very first hordes of enemies you will encounter in The Last Spell. Be prepared, because there will be many more nights in the final game.
We are still fiddling with a lot of features, so don't be scared if some may seem unbalanced or temporary.
The difficulty of the prologue was specially balanced so that it provides a challenge on a 5 ingame days time frame, so don't be surprised if you finish the 5 days in a pretty bad shape The difficulty in the final game will of course be different.
Q: Is there a difference between the demo and the prologue?
No, the content is exactly the same.
Q: How long does the demo last?
If you manage to survive the 5 nights, we estimate the demo to have about 3 hours of gameplay!

At the start of the demo, there are 3 procedurally generated characters in your team, but you will be able to recruit a fourth one during the demo if you meet certains conditions.

[h2]The future of the game[/h2]
How will the prologue and the final game be different?
The prologue is basically the first 5 nights of the final game. That means that the final game will have more nights. Also, there will be some balancing, and quite a lot of new things will be integrated that are not visible in the demo/prologue. But we can’t say more for now 😉
How can I use the souls?
The souls will be used to unlock some meta game, permanent upgrades. However, the prologue version is too early in development, so the feature is unavailable for now.
What will I be able to buy as permanent upgrades?
Right now, we don’t have more info to share about it, since this feature is currently in development.
How many nights will be in the final game?
We don’t have the final number of the nights to announce right now, except that there will be more than the demo/prologue.
Will I be able to have more than 4 characters in my team?
Yes!
Will there be bosses in the final game?
Yes!
Will there be difficulty features?
Yes, but we can’t say more for now. 😉
Will there be mod support?
Yes, modding is something we want to do in the future!
Will I be able to transfer my save to the final game?
Since many changes will be made between the demo/prologue and the final game, that won’t be possible.
As we said, there might be questions that we haven't answered yet, so please feel free to ask them in the comments and we'll update this post! :)
