About This Demo

Your first steps as a Portal Ranger.

This free demo introduces Portal Beasts, a creature-collecting action RPG. Start with Morphy, learn to catch wild beasts and control your partners in real-time battles. Explore the Academy, Mosswood, Hollowwood and Beast Farm on your way to your first Ranger badge. Play solo or try the separate online co-op campaign with a friend, currently in beta.

Fight as your beasts

Move your beast around the battlefield, aim its attacks and react to incoming threats. Read enemy warnings, manage your moves' cooldowns and time a dash or shield when danger gets close. Your positioning and timing matter alongside your team's strengths.

Catch your next partner

Find wild beasts in their habitats, weaken them in battle, then return to your human trainer and aim the Portal Gun to attempt a capture. Bring up to six partners with you and keep the rest in storage. Your growing Beast Dex helps you get to know the creatures you meet.

Build a team that suits you

Mix beast types, stats and moves to cover different situations. Get close with melee attacks or make space for ranged abilities. Level up your partners, learn new moves and discover evolutions. Revisit learned attacks at the Move Relearner when you want to try a different setup.

Train to become a Portal Ranger

Travel through portals to Mosswood and the candlelit trails of Hollowwood, with a beast companion at your side. Meet local residents, challenge trainers and take on field assignments. Follow clues, help beasts in trouble and investigate the people disturbing their habitats as you work towards your first Ranger badge.

A partner for the journey — online co-op beta

Start a separate campaign for two players, with dialogue that recognises you as a Ranger duo. Explore freely, even in different worlds, and reunite to begin story missions together. Story and trainer battles are double battles, with each player controlling their own beast. Co-op is in beta and may still have bugs or connection issues.

Visit Beast Farm

Take a break from the trail and visit the beasts you keep in storage. Watch them roam around the farm, interact with them and use the computer to change your team before your next adventure.

What is included?

A guided introduction, the town and Academy, two forest areas — Mosswood and Hollowwood — and Beast Farm. Catch wild beasts, challenge trainers, complete field assignments and face your first Ranger exam, solo or in the online co-op beta. Other worlds are not included. This demo is still in development.
