Daily Downloads: The Settlers VI beta, Loki demo

Would-be emperors can now take part in a beta event for The Settlers: Rise of an Empire, the latest in Blue Byte's city-building strategy series. Gamers can download the exclusive beta and test out a single-player tutorial mission and play four multiplayer maps in online or LAN play.

The English demo for Cyanide's action role-playing game Loki has also made its premiere, offering players a taste of the hack-and-slash adventure. Watch an opening cinematic and control the hero Kasstedan through the early portion of his story, completing several quests along the way.
