A demo-y taster of Ubisoft Blue Byte's city-building strategy game The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom can now be found in 2.56GB download over on FileShack.

The demo contains the map 'River Town' with victory point multiplayer, singleplayer vs. AI and free play modes, as well as a tutorial to get players up to speed on what's new.

Also included Ubisoft's controversial new DRM scheme--found in the full version too--that requires players be online at all times, so you can scope it out yourself.

The Settlers 7 will be released for PC and Mac tomorrow in North America.

  In a way it is good; it lets you demo the DRM as well, since it is such a controversial issue. : PHeeNIxx

    ^^^ this is the correct answer. It's why old game demos of Starforce games also had Starforce on them. : Schnapple
    - Would you not be giving them a preview of your DRM at the same time? : mobab
- Perhaps it's only available for a limited time. : Pulveri
