About This Game

You run at high speed and attack enemies.
The main point is to enjoy feeling of speed and your own dexterity. For me, just running forward is a pleasure itself.
Moreover there's a gameplay which requires accuracy of your movements.

I am a big fan of the old 90s games, and I tried to reproduce the graphic style of some games of that era. In general, I tried to make levels in the spirit of the first Quake, and to achieve the same feeling of a shotgun. Although this is not the main weapon in my game.
In summing up, you may enjoy the game if you like fast running, feeling of speed and the action games in general.

* A hard to master game with unusual gameplay.
* Fast-paced, it requires good reflexes and dexterity.
* Short, it only takes an hour or two to beat.
* Software-rendered retro style graphics from the '90s.

Peculiar combination of Sonic and Thief mechanics, that's it. Also reminds of jump-pads from Quake 3, which is obviously a nice thing.

A first person run and stab game. Very fast: you run fast and the game ends fast. The levels form circles of varying sizes and you run around them impaling dozens of knights and demonic monsters of some sort with a rusty sword. Very fun.

I played it, and it was ok. I thought it would have replay value beyond its one hour game play period but it just didnt. Im not a speed runner. NOW if the game was say, 5 dollars or less and it markets its self to the speed run community I thought it was make a killing. As for now 8.99 and very little content isn't worth it. But, I did have fun, and I wish I could have more. Sergey if you are reading this please make more of this, or expand it.

Well i didn´t know what i had in my hands until I started playing this game. It is quite interesting and has a unique gameplay style. The game is best described as running in circles with a sword only capable of stabbing your foes. Only important is you speed and monetum so maps are made in various circles. Cool funny and quite challenging but for sure one thing. Short It ends when the games starts to get harder. The story and all those is completely unimportant so for a hour or two fun without replay value you can go for it. it would have been better two add more content or decrease the price. Right those things wont work together. Nevertheless its a good game.

What a weird game. Speed is your friend here. The faster you go, the more your jump-attack does. If you have no momentum, your only attacks are your shotgun (which is weak, ironically) and a pre-set number of heavy attacks with your sword. You get ammo for the shotgun and heavy attack charges by landing good hits on some enemies. What a cool idea though: You're basically a moving weapon by your own momentum. However, the issue here is the gameplay feels incredibly unfinished, there's almost no feedback with enemies and hits really don't feel like they land when you swear they should... It's all incredibly clunky and although it can feel really good to torpedo through 4-5 enemies at once, you can find yourself in a dead stop due to the frustratingly cramped level design and lack of attention on gameplay-enhancing designs and mechanics. Aesthetically this game is really cool. A strange mix of playstation-ey kind of warpy graphics and something like Thief and Quake series. It's really ...

Sergey Bobrov has shown a lot of promise but it seems like almost all of his releases lack polish and feel half-abandoned. Daemonic Runner is a similar case. Cool idea and excellent style (as is the case with all of his games) but lacks polish. Gravity can feel very weird and you frequently find yourself hitting the ceiling which messes up the momentum and flow.

A strange, unique game that plays like the mishappen lovechild of Quake, the medieval practice of jousting and Sonic the Hedgehog. The rather minimal story concerns an astronaut who manages to crash his spaceship on a planet crawling with hostile entities who inexplicably look like medieval knights. Our hero grabs a rusty sword and, having apparently never seen such a weapon before, decides to hold it out in front of him and charge into battle, impaling his enemies by running into them at full speed. The levels are set up to allow this, mainly consisting of large circular pathways with plenty of room to build up a decent speed. It's pretty fun, on top of being filled with a heavy, vaguely oppressive atmosphere, with no music whatsoever and level architecture that recalls the grand gothic halls of Quake, filled with dense rusted metal corridors and bottomless pits. There's a surprising amount of skill involved as well, since keeping up momentum requires a good amount of timing and preci...
