39 of 39 · most liked firstOne simple concept in a game... if you use checkpoints and you have some sort of boss fight, even a small one, put a checkpoint just before. Not miles away that oblige to re jump a series of platform, to "rediscover" a secret, to re manage your inventory to re throw some swords against ice blocks to re break them, to finally re recover the weapon you re dropped from your inventory to re break that ice and to reapply points in your skill tree for the level you just re earned... This kind of UX…

Demon Skin ~~~~~~~~~~ Demon Skin is a fantastic new Hack&Slash game that implements a challenging yet interesting combat system. Demon Skin seems to be trying to combine its unique new combat system, lore, and the overall character-arch to put together a fascinating mixture of dark aged souls-like experience. Although the game is very early on in its age, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game deserves to be more popular. The fight system is nice. This system has 3 kind of attacks. Up, middle and down. The defense also works like this, so you need to choose the right move at the right moment. You can also throw your weapon to the enemy. Some weapons have special powers and combos. The levels and monsters are well done. There are bosses, traps. The game is well made but I received 1 crash. But beside that crash the game worked without problem with me. The controls work…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Demon Skin left me with a bittersweet taste... Yes, it has its flaws. Platforming in this game can be very clunky. Yet, the combat system is awesome. And very engaging. Level design is simple, yet engaging. Finished it in 4 hs (tried to do as much as possible, and died quite a lot). However... It ends in a very weird cliffhanger. Almost like they have not finished the game and you played through the prologue. Would love to see this game get expanded, or a sequel. But right now, leaves a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall completely worth the asking price. Not a perfect game, but it has a unique feel and the flaws don't ruin the experience, they just lessen it *slightly*. Mostly it just feels like a solid game that is very clearly in early access. I'm pretty picky and I had no problem playing the game for nearly 5 hours straight and only finally called it quits on a tough boss but will probably go back and kill him one day :') I did receive the product for free under the pretense of covering it on…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would wait for several rounds of bug fixes before purchasing this game. Due to my prior experiences i am now in the habit of testing death screens and lo and behold the first ledge i jump off and the game would not accept my input to continue or quit game. To the devs: do not bother asking me to send you more info. I walked off a ledge and the game stopped working. The end.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, this is a really good atmosphere. I played all evening and was satisfied (but I hope the developer will take into account the feedback and fix the controls) By the way, the combat system is really interesting
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Listen this is actually a decent game. But I don't recommend it in its current state. What's the point of having checkpoints if you're gonna use them in this way? I am not joking when I say this, the checkpoints are horrendous. My experience basically comes down to this: No potions and one hit away from death, fall into a hole on a checkpoint, find a secret, spend some time on my talents, find a chest and open it. Suddenly I have to fight a boss on 1 hit so naturally I die... Guess what? Now…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this game. The game play was fun and very satisfying to kill the enemies. The story seems pretty awesome as well. I died quite a bit but it is meant to be difficult and I am pretty trash at these types of games but it never felt overly punishing so far. It took a bit to get used to the controls like each button controlled either high medium or low swings and once i figured that out it was awesome. Having to press a button to face the other way was also kind annoying but you get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Challenging but enjoyable action platformer with a heavy rpg curve. The combat system is a unique approach, using a stance system which enemies also use in return. The visuals are fantastic, controls could be a bit clunky at times but nothing that overly affected the gameplay. Worth a go!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game, beautiful graphics, everything is atmospheric. I recommend to play. I will try to get through.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most atmospheric games I've ever played! I recommend this game to everyone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good, but too short...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics are beautiful. Interesting battles. You have to think. Different enemies fight in different ways. Striking indiscriminately will not win.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Garbage game. Clunky controls and poorly made. Horrible bosses and platforming. 2/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Punchy combat, entertaining voice acting and story, beautiful art, surprisingly polished and well curated. I personally wasn't a fan of some of the rather trial-and-error platforming/running sections, but other than that I didn't experience problems with the checkpoints or difficulty like some others seem to have.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Demon Skin feels like a mix of the original Prince of Persia & Dark Souls and man is this game brutal! Its quite precise on the jumps and attacks, you have to know what you're doing. Love the huge variety of monsters, awesome weapons & hidden secrets. I am constantly looking for destructible walls or hidden paths to find the next cool weapon. Unusual but interesting combat system. You have to get used to the controls for some time. You have basically 3 attacks, (high, middle and low) which you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →after three hours I just lost interest in playing the game. The game feels sluggish in the wrong way for a game to be sluggish. Think Lords of the Fallen vs Dark Souls 1. Dark Souls 1 your character felt lurchy and heavy but you felt like you always had control. Lord of the Fallen you felt like you were trying to drag an anchor through waist high water. That's what this is like but with the added difficulty of not knowing if your inputs didn't work or are just taking a full 4 seconds to…

unlabelledView post →Ok here's the thing, I recommend with conditions. I got to the last boss in the second to last level, took me a hell of a time to beat it but I could not proceed because of a bug. I backtracked looking for a health potion which activated a checkmark which apparently bugged the game and prevented a needed cinematic from triggering. Why am i recommending? Because I did enjoy myself, but there are flaws. Graphics, art and atmosphere are to my taste. I enjoy this look. Combat is simple, but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Demon Skin truely deserves the term outstanding! I was convinced already, when the intro played, because the devs managed to conjure a great, action-oriented dark fantasy atmosphere. When the game started, I was like WOW, because Demon Skin simply looks awesome! The graphics are full of details, and being only in the second-or-so level now, I already saw a lot of different scenery, every one of them packed with lovely details like ice-frozen yetis. Coming to the gameplay, Demon Skin is very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hidden gem right here boys! Well done all around. Very little to complain about except that there isn't a sequel yet. Some may complain that it is short but that is a relief. I am done with padded out games! Loved everything about it; the secret weapons, the specials, the gore and finishers, the scenery, the shards that upgrade your armor and appearance, the simple upgrade system. Reminded me of Blade of Darkness. Other dev teams should take note. Thanks for this one devs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am going to recommend this game with the caveat that you do not expect it to be a simple hack and slash side scroller. There is an element of puzzle combat, matching the stances of your enemies to block. The system is a bit clunky at first till you begin to understand the intended game play. I was a bit confused, I thought I had to use R stick to switch stances, but just hitting the corresponding attack button (Y for upper, X for middle, and A for lower) it automatically switches the…

unlabelledView post →It's a little hack&slash game, that you may pass them in a few hours fully. It doesn't have some unique mechanics or something memorable. It's just not so bad, but not so good game. However, jumping, climbing and descending is nasty. I don't want to downvote the game, because it's a first project of developers team and it looks good, but I also cannot say, that everyone must-see it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →half an hour was enough to say a big "MEEEEEH". i cant recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This Hack & Slash game is a 2D side-scroller with more platforming than combat, who thought this was a good idea to draw out gameplay?
