The last ninth playable demo of ZEPHON will be available from July 18th (@ 12 pm CEST) to July 29th (@ 12 pm CEST) on Steam.

This is an early look at an in-development alpha version of the game. As such, there will be bugs, imbalances and missing assets.
The demo includes single player and multiplayer, but is limited to up to four players on a medium-sized map. 5 different leaders are available for selection and 3 NPC factions are present. Research progress is limited to the first 6 tech tiers.
The full version will contain larger maps, advanced game setup options, 8 leaders, over 50 units spread across 10 tiers of research, more terrain features and quests, an end-game grand finale, unlockable game modifiers, achievements, multiple languages as well as full workshop support.
