A demo for Ever Oasis will launch for 3DS via the Nintendo eShop today in North America at 12:00 p.m. PT / 3:00 p.m. ET, Nintendo announced during its E3 2017 Treehouse live stream.
Here’s an overview of the game, via Nintendo:
Adventure in the desert. Grow your oasis.
The desert’s last safe haven is a lone oasis you call home. So draw a line in the sand and fight to protect it with the help of the water spirit Esna. The larger your oasis becomes, the more visitors that will arrive. Complete a variety of quests to recruit new villagers, each with their own unique weapons and skills. As you rotate between three party members, battle against Chaos threatening peace in the desert in real-time combat. Then forage for materials in puzzle-filled dungeons, which are used to grow new shops and even gear!
