A Demo For The Touryst Is Now Available To Download From The Switch eShop

A solid game that could have really been something special if it weren't for a few truly infuriating sections (notably the worm boss that knocks the rocks off the geysers, the part where you have to platform on these shifting blue orbs, and the final boss).

Otherwise it's a great looking title with a chill atmosphere, tricky but fair challenges, and a smattering of side content that ranges from okay to fantastic (I loved the arcade).

Too many games to play before this one so I won't be buying it until there is a big discount (demo or not).

Don't download the demo, just buy the game. It is one of the best things on eshop.

Oh goody! I’ve wanted to try this...

Just downloaded it, my backlog is legendary though..

@SeerCoot Really? Yesterday we didnt have the demo here in the us, and I had to grab it with my EU account.

Been waiting for this one! Bummed it got so overshadowed

Not gonna lie, this game is a bit boring to me. Not quite as packed with content as I had hoped.

This is a really cool game. Nintendo should buy sin'en and give them an f zero or star tropics remake

If only there is a physical release....

glad there's a demo it didn't look very interesting to me but i've heard great things about it so maybe it'll help me understand.

I like this company's games. I loved Art of Balance. I wasn't into the blocky character look. I'm not a fan of that whole minecraft aesthetic thing with the people being blocky but the lighting in this game of course looks great and the description makes it sound super chill to play and mess around. I may consider it.

I've just played the demo and it looks utterly gorgeous and the gameplay kind of had a Fez vibe, a definite purchase for me

The demo is not currently available on the UK eshop. Is like to check this out, so maybe I'll check back later

@YonVonBlett I downloaded it last night from the UK eshop and I wasn't even looking for it, I'd just searched the word demo to see what was available

This is a underrated gem. Such smooth gameplay, gorgeous lighting, controls work nicely, great vibe. IMO Shin’en deserves strong sales for putting out such a polished and charming title.

I really wanted to enjoy this game but it's mostly a collection of mini-games, some of which don't work very well.

Such a fun game, do try it out.. didn't have problems with the bosses (just figure out the trick), did found the bubbles in the Hawaii temple a bit irritating, but one of the few games i really didn't want to stop and finish 100%

seems the old days of demos coming out before the game releashed are long gone, as good as this game is it just seems companys dont have faith on their games when they release demos after its out

@CarpeDiem

alawys think of Magnum when i see him

@YonVonBlett It should be available. I played the demo yesterday with my UK account.
It's a VERY short demo. Literally got to the demo end screen in 5mins.

@carlos82 and in glorious 60 fps. The devs are masters of programming for Nintendo consoles.

@NeoNeoNeo they certainly are and all under 300mb too, it just blows my mind. Even more so when you take into account Fast Rmx which looks and runs better then some efforts on the other consoles

This is clearly a game that I'm going to enjoy, but I just have too many games to to get through at the moment. I'll have a go at free demo though and put it on my pile of shame if it ever goes on sale.

@carlos82 and @Perryg92. Thanks. I was checking on the eshop through my browser. I'll check on the Switch when I'm home.

I downloaded this demo a few days ago.

I beat the demo in about 5 minutes. It didn't really give me a good feel for the game. It felt like it was just the intro and didn't give me much insight to whether I'd enjoy it or not.
Great visual style though!

Wait, is the Magnum P.I. dude's hair flopping around when he walks? That's a great touch!

I will give the demo a spin. This isn't the sort of game I saw coming from Shin'en, so I've been a litte on the fence, but they might win me over yet.
