As of today, the Pixel Frontier: Tactics Demo version is available to play, ahead of the game's participation in Steam Next Fest, starting next week.
The Demo features significantly reduced content in comparison to the full version, but should give players a sense of how the game plays, and whether or they will enjoy the full version.
For players trying the Pixel Frontier: Tactics Demo, there are a few features worth mentioning to help you learn the basics of what is quite a complex game;
Tutorial - There is an in-game tutorial, found in the main menu, which will explain the basics of how combat works and get you started with the game.
Tutorial Messages - As you play short tutorial messages will give you more information about various topics of the game, these are designed to give you useful information at a rate that is not overwhelming.
The '?' Button - In many in game screens you'll find a '?' button in the bottom left. Hover over this button to display a description of all important elements on screen. This is the best way to figure out what is going on if you don't know what everything on your screen means.
Encyclopedia - The game has an in game Encyclopedia, which is ideal if you want to learn more about a specific topic or mechanic. You can also look up specific information about Heroes and Enemies in the Encyclopedia.
Video Tutorial - You can find a Video Tutorial below if you prefer, the tutorial is by no means comprehensive, but should give you enough information to get started.
