Publisher Iceberg Interactive recently announced that a free demo of deck-building strategy game Mahokenshi will be available on Steam PC starting on 22 September.

Developed by Game Source Studio, Mahokenshi is inspired by Japanese history and culture. Yabai! The free demo will be available until September 29, and the full release is currently expected sometime this coming January.

Here’s the official breakdown of the Mahokenshi demo from Iceberg Interactive, followed by the latest trailer:

Mahokenshi’s free Steam demo will allow deckbuilding fans to experience the Celestial Islands from the perspective of the relentless Ayaka of House Ruby and the newly announced Kaito of House Sapphire, a powerful tactician whose playstyle is based on defense, area of effect, and provocation.

The demo will also feature more enemies, a new tutorial, a new mission, a new leveling system, and a new Mahoken tree.

The full game will include two additional characters: stealth master Sota of House Jade and intelligent spellcaster Miskai of House Topaz.

Players will be challenged to build their card decks, evolve their chosen character, and expertly strategize to protect the sanctity of the Celestial Islands from the corruption of a forbidden magic.

Collect over 200 lovingly illustrated cards, defeat formidable foes, and discover treasure and remote locations.

Execute gorgeous fully animated attacks on your journey to restore harmony.

Mahokenshi is currently scheduled to release for PC via Steam in January 2023. The free demo is available from 22 to 29 September.
