Nintendo have announced the demo for Mii-focused RPG Miitopia is available now.
Players cast their Miis as the characters in this turn-based RPG. The Dark Lord has stolen faces from the people, and slapped them on horrible monsters. Build a party of Warriors, Chefs, Pop Stars, and Cats; as you not only fight together, but grow closer to become a greater force.
The Nintendo Switch version also features new wigs and make-up to add further details to make your Mii look just like the person they are supposed to be. Players also have access to the new customizable Horse ally, who can fight alongside players in battle.
Progress made in the demo will carry over into the full game. It should be noted in the original Miitopia on Nintendo 3DS, players could freely alter the Mii chosen for a particular “role” of an NPC or playable character to no ill effect.
You can find the demo trailer below.
