Here are the adjustments on the way:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Based on the feedback from the post-play survey of the debut demo released on Nintendo Switch 2, we will be making the following adjustments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Increase in Elliot&#8217;s Movement Speed<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>New Difficulty Levels<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Expanded Convenience Features for Magicite<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Adjustment to Weapon Shortcut Menu Behaviour<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t already played the &#8216;Debut Demo&#8217;, you can access it from the Switch 2 eShop. Here&#8217;s some additional information about what it offers:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This \u2018Debut Demo\u2019 is designed to give you a sense of the exploration and action you\u2019ll experience in the game, so expect plenty of crunchy combat, spooky caves and all kinds of secrets hidden around.<\/p>\n<p>See a crackable wall? Blow it to smithereens with a bomb and you might discover a Secret Treasure Route- a small dungeon you can explore for valuable rewards.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019ll find a Shrine of Life &#8211; these optional challenges put your combat and traversal skills to the test. Perhaps you\u2019ll find valuable loot like magicite or money. Always remember &#8211; this is a game that rewards the curious.<\/p>\n<p>Or, you could follow the quest markers and delve into a deadly swamp, and the Unexplored Ruins beneath. This multi-level dungeon is full of dangers &#8211; so be sure to use everything you\u2019ve learned to find your way through.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We went hands on with The Adventures of Elliot last August.
