Demeo Battles

I agree with others that this game should have been included in the original Demeo game and feels, at most, like DLC. However, if you played and liked the original Demeo, then you'll probably like this. In short, this is a series of skirmish maps, with 2 heroes and their minions versus a like set of enemies. At the beginning of each match, you may get to select your heroes, minions, and cards--or not, depending on the map. Matches are short, about 10-20 minutes at most, since the map gets slowly consumed by fire as the rounds progress. It's an interesting concept that guarantees that the action keeps moving and that there are no stalemates. I like it. If you like turn-based games that include fantasy themes and tactical combat, this is a good one. If you've played Demeo (which I recommend), then this is somewhat more of the same. The AI is pretty decent, and there are enough heroes, maps, cards, monsters, etc. for hours of play. However, do wait for a discount.

You have to WIN roughly 120 games just to get all the base Demeo characters unlocked. Ranked = Just play Elementals and run around until, really fun and balanced matchmaking having no objective :D Seems like this mode should have been added to the base Demeo. 120 wins to unlock all the base characters. 120 wins to unlock all the characters you have already played with the last game for hours. There are some design choices... The reviews make it pretty clear what the Dev team should do, but I guess they want this project to "die" on the hill they created. See it all the time, sad stuff.

Demeo Battles, developed and published by Resolution Games, takes the tabletop-inspired foundation of its predecessor and reshapes it into a competitive, fast-paced strategy experience. Instead of cooperative dungeon crawling, the focus here is direct confrontation—small-scale tactical skirmishes where positioning, timing, and resource management determine the outcome. It retains the spirit of a board game brought to life, but reorients that identity toward head-to-head play, resulting in something that feels both familiar and distinctly more immediate. The core gameplay revolves around turn-based battles played on compact maps, where each player commands a team of heroes supported by a deck of cards. Every turn is governed by a limited number of action points, forcing players to carefully consider whether to move, attack, summon units, or play abilities. While the rules are easy to understand, the interactions between mechanics create a surprising level of depth. Terrain, line of sight, and unit placement all play a critical role, and even a single misstep can shift the balance of a match. The addition of minions and environmental hazards adds further complexity, ensuring that en…

Good game I love it

First round, after the tutorial. And might as well play any of the other grab the loot, dodge the obvious traps, and let us play fortnight, slowly

Similar review to my other ones, I'm a huge fan of the series and have all 3 games. if you like strategy style board games, rpgs, dungeon crawllers, demeo games are for you
