✦ AI summary

Players acknowledge the game shows potential and effort, with notably good mobility mechanics for a metroidvania, but consistently note unpolished execution across multiple areas. Common complaints include inconsistent art quality, uninspired map design with placeholder-feeling sections, overly aggressive difficulty balancing, unclear objectives, and particularly poor music that detracts from the experience. While some appreciate the foundation and report improved stability in recent updates, most feel the game needs significant refinement before it would warrant a recommendation, especially i

Its on the quality level on which I dont want to downvote a free game, but then again, theoretically (being on Steam) the developer will eventually want to sell this (or somethig like it), so it doesnt get that handicap. -Art is hit and miss (somethings loo amazing, somethings feel bare minimum) - What i've seen of the story is just ok, -Movility is good (surpirising for a free metroidvania). - Map design is a little rough on some areas in that some areas feel well put together and others feel just like place holders for a future more interesting, less blocky rooms. -Simply starting it required to tweak steam setting a bit (but nothing fancy) -The few NPC I found are completely void of character -The music is s**cide inducing (honestly, that was the deciding factor for me, it got to a point i simply COULD NOT go through one more room, it was THAT nausiating). For all these reasons, i will come back to it when i sense the game is complete, but for now, its a no.

I haven't played this game too long and there are already things that i see that could need some touching up, 1- The gravity is REALLY strong for no apparent reason 2- The enemies near the beginning are insanely strong for no reason what so ever 3- There's not really a clear objective on where to go for anything really Would i recommend this game to a friend? No If the touchups were made? Probably? This game has a LOT of potential

Игра "Demon Peak" захватывает с первых минут: яркая атмосфера, динамичный геймплей и захватывающий сюжет. Графика убедительна, а бой с демонами — напряженный и увлекательный. Однако локации иногда повторяются, а квесты — шаблонны. Тем не менее, это отличный выбор для любителей экшена с элементами приключений. Рекомендую!

Definitely enjoyed this game. For a college project, it was great! Found a map bug, but it's easy to fix if you want to. Other than that, everything ran well (I think older reviews talking about bugs should be ignored since they've been fixed).
