Paradox Interactive has released a demo for the strategy title, East India Company, which sets players in the time span of 1650-1660 and offers a preview of the trading action and naval combat.

Players start with access to some ports & fleets, enabling them to immediately compete for the game’s main trading items. In addition, the demo also features two naval battle scenarios, allowing players to jump right in and try out the ocean warfare.

East India Company is now available for purchase via digital distribution channels, with the boxed release available in stores on August 14th.
