Learn the combat loop
Practice applying a Status Ailment, watching for a Signal Skill, switching Heroes, and finishing the chain.
Demo and full release
Does Demo Progress Carry Over?
The safest way to plan around the DragonSword: Awakening demo is to treat it as a separate pre-release build unless the developer or the current Steam listing explicitly confirms transfer.
Current answerDo not assume demo progress carries over.
Use the demo to learn movement, combat, Status Ailments, Signal Skills, and team switching. Do not delay a full-release purchase or restart plan based on an unconfirmed save-transfer promise.
What to keep
Useful progress even if the save does not transfer
Record preferences
Note which control layout, camera settings, sensitivity, and graphics profile feel comfortable.

Avoid assumptions
What may reset
| Item | Safe expectation |
|---|---|
| Story progress | Assume the full release starts its own progression unless transfer is explicitly confirmed. |
| Unlocked Heroes | Do not assume demo access equals the normal full-release unlock route. |
| Materials and currency | Do not spend based on the expectation that demo resources will move over. |
| Settings and control habits | These are useful to carry forward manually. |
