Broken Arrow - Demo available now!

[Alberto]

The Steam Next Fest has begun and you can now play the first demo for Broken Arrow. It will be available for a week.

You can do so simply by visiting the Broken Arrow steam page and clicking on the Download demo green button.

What the demo contains

In the Broken Arrow demo mission, players will be tasked to infiltrate a platoon of U.S. Marines Force Recon to destroy critical coastal defenses on the Baltic shore.

Clearing the sky of enemy planes, and escorting their landing craft and hovercraft to the shore, waves of powerful M1A1 Abrams and armored vehicles can be unleashed to dominate the battlefield. The mission will see American troops fight block for block in intense close-quarter infantry battles against airdropped enemy paratroopers. Forces can be resupplied with heavy-lift helicopters from a carrier group offshore. Prospective commanders need to take care and repel the assault of a full tank company with the combined arms help of helicopters and planes.

What the demo does not contain

A number of major features are not yet in the current build. You cannot presently play as Russia, there is no Editor, there is a very limited selection of available troops, no customisation of units or deck building.

In addition, there are some features which are not final:
- Optimisation is far from complete
- Not all visuals and audio effects are final
- Unit balances will be refined as the game enters beta

I only played for a few minutes, but I think WARNO is going to have some real competition. I think this game pulls lots of Red Dragon players and WARNO. The scale and LoS is far superior to WARNO for starters, the interface is really clean and found it very enjoyable.

i was really waiting for this, but the demo just is not fun. so restrictive. sounds dont sound too bad tho, not as good as what was shown before which is disappointing. effects are great, but need polish. but the mission for the demo is just not fun and not a great way to try the game. feels more frustrating then anything. the amount of scout cars that just flat out destroy anything i send made me alt f4 so fast too. they show up, destroy, then ♥♥♥♥ off. its like they know specifically when i send units out. so there isnt a way to counter it cause im stuck with infantry with no other support. all and all, i see potential. but the demo in my opinion is frustrating and restrictive. not a good way to show off the game gotta say.

The Demo is crashing while loading the mission.

No crash for me and very stable and smooth on ultra settings. But yes hardware is getting hot.

Good day to everyone here.
First of all, thanks for this absolutely fantastic game, I'm really excited about the future release.
However, I've found a couple of bugs:

1. When I boarded two full marines squad to the CH-53 and ordered the heli to fly, it wasn't flying, and just held on the point. The heli was fully functioning, I mean that it was able to change the attitude, disembark one or both of the squads, but it wasn't fly from one island to another.
2. I was unable to choose the "Ultra" Visual effect count as the "High" and "Ultra" buttons were covered under the bottom board of my screen. I've used a 1920*1080 resolution (recommended for my monitor). Please note that I've seen these two covered buttons when I've tried to scroll the list, but it wasn't possible to click on any of these buttons.

Hopes that this will help you to improve the game. Good luck to you!

It's a known bug we didn't have time to fix in time for the demo sorry.
It's lkined to embarkment animation.
As a work around press back to base button when it happen and the helicopter will disappear without having to reach the spawn point.
