Publisher 505 Games and developer Keen Games have joined together for a collaboration that looks like a unique take on the sandbox action-RPG, and you can try it now! Portal Knights is a dungeon crawler with an interesting twist: You're able to travel from gateway to gateway to different worlds, which lets you get a taste for what others sandbox areas feel like. Think Rick and Morty, if Rick's portal gun weren't totally random and dangerous. It's a little like that.

Starting today, you can download a new demo via the Nintendo Switch eShop, which will allow you to try out the upcoming "Adventurer Update," which brings a swath of new characters, items, quests, and additional improvements to the game. Portal Knights is out if you're looking to pick up the entire game, and it'll run you $29.99 for the full thing if you decide the demo is totally for you.

Whether you're playing as as Warrior, Mage, or Ranger, you can explore a wealth of different places while leveling up, gathering resources, casting spells, and crafting tons of different items to help you along the way. You can fly solo or invite up to three friends for a four-player cooperative game where everyone works together (via wireless connection) to eliminate monsters, mine, and take part in plenty of other activities.

Let us know if you pick up the Portal Knights demo and how it's treating you, and if you think you might want to play through the full version at some point. Here's a warning for you: It's pretty addictive.
