Catacombs 1: Demon War, developed by SimProse Studios and published by SA Industry, is an unapologetically old-school role-playing game that leans hard into the traditions of classic dungeon crawlers and early computer RPGs. As the opening chapter of a planned trilogy, it sets out to establish a familiar fantasy world rooted in personal loss, creeping evil, and methodical exploration rather than spectacle. From the start, the game makes it clear that it values systems, persistence, and player patience over modern convenience, positioning itself squarely toward fans of retro-inspired design. The story follows a young protagonist from the quiet village of Glendoe whose life is upended by tragedy and the resurfacing of ancient demonic forces beneath the land. Rather than delivering its narrative through cinematic cutscenes or heavy dialogue, Catacombs 1 unfolds its tale slowly through quests, exploration, and environmental context. Much of the early game is grounded in modest objectives—clearing cellars, investigating disturbances, and building basic combat competence—which helps reinforce the sense of starting as an ordinary individual rather than a destined hero.

RPG Maker strikes again! Catacombs 1: Demon War is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker and various character creator kits, coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. This time Andorlea/Warfare/SimProse/whatever other shell account this guy uses to try hide his identity has once more stamped out a painfully generic copy + paste RPG Maker asset flip. It's horribly basic, riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, full of stock copy + pasted RPG Maker assets... no real game development …

Demon War is the first of a 3-chapter RPG/Adventure that puts you into the shoes of a young hero building your strenght and face the betrayal!

wish there was more levles to play

This is the 2nd RPG Maker Game for this Dev! This one is much better Then Cavern of Time! I love the story all together. I love the voice Acting in this game i wish he did that in The Cavern of time This game had more story to it then Cavern of Time! So with that point He improved his story telling of the 2 games. The maping is little good to, but there more improving he can do in the games. At lest it did not cost money to save which is Very good in my eyes. The side missons are very nice little story to them. I love the start of the game where you have all the shops in one place. In Cavern of TIme they are in different locations. I was lvl 7 at the end of the game and it took like 1 hr and 52 mins to beat. At the ending text i had a but where i press SHIFT but it did not go to the next screen. I had to keep pressing Shift and Enter to get it to go to the next screen after i kept press for a little bit. The ending of this game is a good plot twist, and i love how it ended. I can not wait to see his next installment for this story in the next game which i hope is Catacombs 2 soon. This game came out in 2017 and it 2021 and I hope he make the next part of the story asap. Is this g…
