Namco Bandai announced today that the Culdcept Saga demo is now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

In the full game, players will be able to trade over 400 monster, equipment and spell cards, play online or locally with up to four player.
The demo is pretty beefy, but full featured. Players are able to play both single and local multiplayer modes using a variety of pre-made decks. No card trading or live multiplayer support has been included.
The full release is scheduled for February 5, 2008 for a suggested retail price of $39.99. Hey, it's about $20 cheaper than a typical Xbox title, so all you CCG and board game fans out there should give it a try.
Press release after the jump.
