Ahead of the release of Ys X: Nordics next week, NIS America has announced a demo for the Switch eShop and it's out today. This will be followed by the full game release next week on 25th October 2024.
In this demo, you'll be able to experience the fast-paced fighting action, "powerful offense and defense", elemental attacks with Manaburst, "exhilarating" sailing, and battles on land and sea in both solo and duo modes.
NIS has also mentioned how if you play the demo now, your save data will transfer over to the full game when it's released.
"Step into the shoes of Adol Christin and his unlikely ally, the pirate Karja Balta, in the action-packed demo for Ys X: Nordics! Download now on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC. A milestone entry in the legendary Ys series, Ys X: Nordics offers exhilarating, fast-paced combat, a moving story of unlikely allies, and naval exploration across the vibrant Obelia Gulf."
In our review, we called Ys X: Nordics "great" - awarding it eight out of ten stars and highly recommend it for fans of the series.

Good, good! This way we can clearly see how much it has improved over its predecessors.
Edit: Well, after playing the demo for a while (skipping all cutscenes), I can say the game runs great! Also in town. I'm very surprised, especially after seeing that Ys IX run terribly on Switch, even after the patches...
The game looks real fun, it reminded a lot to Ys VIII. I can't wait to play the whole thing!
I should try one of these modern Ys games.
I’m super psyched for the Switch release of Oath in Felghana.
Must...finish...Ys Seven...first....Must... resist....
Playing through the demo now. The environments and effects look fine but I absolutely love how the character models look with this new engine Falcom has.
I've been playing the demo today and it's a good time, but what's really surprising me is how long it is. I was so sure it was gonna end after the first chapter end screen, but apparently it goes up to Chapter 3? That's like 5-10 hours of content in just the demo!
Its great when a company has so much faith in its product that they release a substantial demo for it.
Love to see it for those on the fence and those who just want to start playing it earlier (always appreciate when you can transfer save data from demos) - personally, I'll just wait for my physical copy although I doubt I'll be able to start it anytime soon, way too many games I'm currently playing and coming these months!
i know john from DF went loco on this, so a good change to try..
It looks good. But I haven't like a Ys game since YS seven. 8 and 9 just are too big a change up for me.
I'm always down for a demo, especially for games and series that I like.
