(Although there are monsters to be fought don’t expect to be frightened by them.)Ĭards are collected to help battle through the game, there are coins to collect and to be fair the levels did get harder but not enough to really stop progress. The gameplay was simple, the sound suited the game and the graphics were dark in keeping with the dungeon theme.
This was a game that was very repetitive and yet I enjoyed it. Subscribe to Pocket Gamer on Oksana Ryan (iPad Pro) Sadly they didn’t utilize the potential in the card system, instead the developers decided to dress up the regular skills, consumables and passives as cards which work very similarly to any other hack ’n’ slash RPG’s with the exception here you drop them if you die, so you have to get back to your grave to return them to your inventory. This setting comes in handy because the combat system and the controls are far from enjoyable: due to the player’s limited movement capabilities and uncomfortable gesture recognition you will often run into enemies rather than attacking and would start attacking into the direction of the other finger rather than activating the card you tried to activate. The game offers you 3 game modes to choose from, ranging from casual to almost permadeath rogue-like and each of these can be played in SUPERHOT mode. To my surprise, the dialogues of the townsfolk are also voice acted but they explain some mechanics and help in world-building rather than expanding the barely existent story. Visually it has a very interesting cardboard-like design, which gave me a pop-up book feeling. Zsombor Gálicz (iPad Pro)īook of Demons is a Diablo clone with an isometric view and fast-paced gameplay, but it has some unique twists on the formula as well. There is always something to do and so much to complete. I would recommend the game I enjoyed it and had fun with it, even though I’m no expert at these but found it enjoyable even when I was getting killed. The game I found to be very engrossing and before I know it an hour or so had passed.
I have to admit I’m a novice at this type of game so took my time reading through the tutorials which weren’t long-winded. The graphics are excellent and the game runs smoothly and I encountered no issues at all. You then get to pick the difficulty of the game from casual, normal or roguelike. You start off going through a short intro then into creating your character, choose a class to start with - you have to unlock the others. A great game that's really fun to play yet challenging with 3 different levels of challenge to start: casual, normal – where I started – and expert. If you die you leave all your belongings behind in order to go back and pick up later and you unlock different styles of warriors to play as later in the game as well. It's a great game that ramps up the difficulty as you go and I definitely want to see this one to completion. The gameplay was built for a mobile platform, tap to attack and touch to move but sometimes, when the action ramps up, you end up moving into your opponents when instead you want to attack them and really that's the only minor frustration I have. Great looking cardboard cut out presentations, good voice acting but the story just meh (been there done that). Chad Jones (iPad Mini 4)ĭiablo clone built for the mobile platform. I found it very addictive and will be playing this one for a long time. Although extended play will reveal the dungeons all look the same for many levels. Graphically and aurally this game is a class act. It can get confusing when there are a lot of monsters on screen as you frantically tap on your enemies, Combat is simple, consisting of touching a monster when it becomes visible. Unlike Diablo, your character's movement is limited to a fixed track in the dungeon and your manoeuvrability is limited. The conceit is that you are playing a book so all the characters and monsters look like they belong in a pop-up book. Cursed town, town folk that help you out, dungeons to crawl for loot it’s all here and so familiar. Not to beat around the bush but Book of Demons is a Diablo clone. Here's what they said: Robert Maines (iPad Pro) So we got our App Army to play the game and see if they agreed. Campbell Bird absolutely loved the game when he reviewed it for our sister site 148 Apps. Book of Demons is a procedurally generated dungeon crawler, in the Diablo mould.
