Warning: do not trust the demo. The actual game is much worse. Just finished the campaign, and I deeply regret that I wasted my time on this game. The core gimmick is nice, but the game clearly was never touched by an experienced (or at least sane) game designer, and as a result it gets progressively more boring the deeper you go. Every single game design decision that distinguishes it from any other diablo clone aims to make the game worse and kill all the fun. You know what would be fun? * Being able to run forward and kill things. So to make the game worse, devs implemented every single mistake from other games, including: some enemies that are invulnerable for like 5 seconds after each hit, all elites are invulnerable between phases (for no reason), enemies are invulnerable while they use skills (all of them, even trash mobs), there are tons of mobs that can't be killed while other mobs are alive, etc. Basically you are supposed to stare at the screen and ask yourself "is there ...

After literally thousands of hours spent in Action isometric RPG's (and others) like Diablo (mostly - like 3k+ h easily :P) , Path of Exile, Titan Quest, Champions of Norath (and Return to arms) - and so on - been there, love it, seen'em - kill'em all. This one however didn't attract me with graphic at all, yet I thought - let's give it a chance - sometimes those smaller productions have great climate - mood going along with us on adventures. And It happened! Great - just great at it's soothing and deeply relaxing yet perfectly paced at it's difficult march through the hell spawns :D Now some feedback for developers; - I played on standard difficulty for good couple of hours without dying once on rather fast route through the enemies (all 100% clear) - quite satisfying with the loot - especially how rarely better items drops - great! yet to this rather calming game I would either put some dis-balanced combat more often forcing us to retreat or push forward instead of clearing the r...

I've tried hard to like Book of Demons, but I found it difficult to look past the game's flaws. Pros: + The game concept is unique! + The controls are simple and effective + Clever ideas for mechanics keep things interesting (such as adjustable dungeon sizes) Cons: - The whole "on-rails" mechanic where you move along a set path tends to be far more annoying than anything else. While it functions fine, it feels incredibly limiting and makes moving through the map very time consuming. -- Avoiding projectiles works fine if you can move perpendicularly. If you can't move to the sides you're incredilby likely to be hit without any real chance at dodging. - Despite the trailer implying the game has a "Darkest Dungeon" style grim and morbid atmosphere... this game has a lot of jokes for kids. For example, in the opening cutscene we see Satan holding a rubber ducky. There's a lot of potty humor that feels to me out of place, as if the team behind this game is trying to appeal to younger kids...

Maybe I played this game wrong, but I managed to complete the campaign with nothing other than a single hero power. I just hammered one spell over and over for 11 hours and that was it. I guess I'd have to play over and over and over to see what else the game might have to offer, but one play-through felt like enough.

I like the concept but unfortunately the game just isn't very fun. It is extremely repetitive, which is fine if the gameplay is fun. But it's not, movement is very slow and clunky and most of the mechanics are more annoying than anything else. Most mechanics aren't challenging or fun, they just slow the game down in various annoying ways.

Stop me if you've heard this one: The armies of Hell lurk beneath a little town. Your job, as either a warrior, rogue or mage, is to go in through the church and descend a bunch of randomly-generated levels, mowing down hordes of monsters along the way, until you get to Hell and destroy the big demon in charge. It all looks so innocent at first. Turns out, the "book" part is literal. Everything from the introduction to the environments to the characters to the flame effects on the ground are rendered in the same cutesy, pop-up book style, like they're made out of cardboard. Along with the tongue-in-cheek humor, it aims to set a light, whimsical mood. Very disarming. You'd never suspect that underneath beats the ravenous heart of a monster, seeking to devour your life. "Oh come on," the game says with an inviting smile that never quite reaches its eyes. "We're just having a little fun here, that's all. What's the problem?" You can't deny their generosity. They shower you...

The game comes with built in advertisements. When you boot the game it first asks "Do you want to play this game or one of our other games? Oh you don't have our other games? Would you like to add them to your wishlist?" After playing for about half an hour it again asks you if you want to buy their other games or add them to your wishlist. I didn't pay money for the game just to have it show me ads. The entire game has the feel of a phone game or a tablet game. Save your money and find a game that is designed for steam.

This is a game that comes from the mind of a mobile developer. One of its selling points is the option to have a short play session—an issue that often is crucial for mobile, but hardly relevant for a PC gamer. The control scheme also feels like it was made for a touch screen. There are many mini-games that boil down to grabbing things floating on the screen. To heal poison, you have to click the bottom left with your cursor, even though normally you keep it to the center of the screen—an idea that would be handy of the game was controlled with your fingers via a mobile device, but doesn't translate well to PC. A lot of its other elements feel clunky as well. While you can instantly teleport to the end of a dungeon when it's 100% clear, looking for that one pesky pile of gold you've missed means backtracking—excruciatngly slow backtracking. And pray that your final enemy isn't a gargoyle or a ghost: both can hide and must attack first... or ignore you, making you run past them a...

Surprisingly nice, charming and quite easy to play hack and slay with good controller support and a rewarding and motivating card system. The graphic is unique, might be not everyones cup of tea but i like it a lot and it let me come back again and again. You can choose your own gameplay time, 8 min or 16 min or you want 46 min? A great feature. Overall a relaxing experience with just the right difficulty to keep you going! High five Thing Trunk for this awesome experience!
