Demon Scrolls

For some unknown reason I allowed this game to sit in my library way too long ---- but am very glad I rediscovered it, played it, loved it, and can tell you this is another fantastic game from Wolfs Moon Studios. It is a classic old school rpg that features lots of variety entwined with a good story and is very, very addictive. No fan of this type game should pass up the opportunity to play this game, and I still can't believe I just unintentionally skipped over it and therefore ran late to the party ---- so I can tell you this one gets my highest recommendation.

If you liked the old school Final Fantasy games this will be right up your alley. It does the classic play loop well - explore, fight monsters, rest, upgrade. Unlike many games in this genre the combat and resource management require some thought.

Just beat the game. It was like playing a game from the past in all the ways. You have party members to choose and level/gear up. I would say this game emphasized strategy and tactics over story, There was a small story but it never got in the way. Honestly it was a blast to play through. If you are into old RPGs, I would recommend picking this one up

Another Wolfs Moon Studios game in the book and onto the next! the 8 bit format is interesting, and it can be beautiful. I didn't really love the constant hordes, but made it through them. The dungeons were easily navigated, much appreciated Shane. I was constantly in my menu after each battle to restore and cure party members, but expected with hordes I guess. All in all, I would play this game.

Good game all around. Apart from the music, that will make your ears bleed. Relatively easy, albeit harder than many similar games with a single difficulty setting. Last boss can be an issue, if you are not familiar with the dev's other games. Essentially you need to be able withstand his one attack attack, or you will have to go out and get sturdy enough. Beating the rest of the game is not really indicative to your sturdiness. I knew better, yet I still invested a ridiculous amount of money in increasing Dexterity instead of Health, just so I would be able to run away from encounters. I regret nothing. Surviving with 1hp still counts and that is all you need. It has a somewhat open world, but there is still a linear path you are expected to follow. If you are having serious trouble with an area, you just shouldn't be there. If you struggle, but it's doable, you shouldn't be wasting your time there. This is a chill game you should be playing while listening to music or watching a movie.

This is the 9th game by Wolfs Moon Studios, and if you've played any of Shane's other games you know what to expect: lots of turn-based combat, plenty of dungeon crawling, and tons of awesome loot. This one really grabbed me right from the beginning and hooked me. It's really not super different than his previous games but for some reason I was into this one even more than usual. Demon Scrolls does use 8-bit style graphics, instead of the 16-bit style from previous games, which was a tad jarring at first but quickly forgotten about. As usual there is no map or quest log, but there is a little bit more direction than the previous entry, The Grindstone. You get a little bit of a questline to follow in the beginning then it really opens up and you're free to explore wherever you want or think you can handle. Overall the game was a little tougher than previous games but nothing too bad. Except for the final boss. I really didn't think I was going to ever win that fight, he's over the top ridiculously hard. But I got kind of lucky (eventually) and did beat him. I ended up with about 25 hours, all played on Steam Deck. It did freeze once or twice on me, but overall it played pretty…
