Unlike the previous demos of ARMS, this newer one is playable offline and offers 1-2 Players experience, with up to three CPU opponents (out of 10 in the full game, I think). I've tried it and it was okay but am glad I never bought it as I would've regretted it.
You can either use the Joy-Cons for a motion gaming experience or the Pro Controller, for a traditional experience.
Bonus: It comes with some avatars, a couple of digital art posters and access to the full game's menu so players can see what they'll get on the full version.
Game's Description
Featuring a unique multiplayer fighting game that lets you trade blows using extendable weaponised arms, this game includes elements of both boxing and shooting games, plus an all-new cast of characters.
The player holds one Joy-Con in each hand and throws left and right punches at the opponent. Characters can jump and dash, and players can bend their punches by twisting their hands as they swing. One of the biggest features is the ability to equip two types of customisable ARMS per fighter. These ARMS range from standard gloved ARMS to curved weapons like boomerangs. Each arm has a special attribute like fire, ice or electricity that activates when delivering a charge punch.
As players fight through the game, they will rack up in-game currency that can be used in ARM Getter mode to win new ARMS for their fighters. This fast-paced game can be played in 1-v-1 matches or even 2-v-2* for more entertainingly chaotic battles.
