Demon Skin

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 you get to do that all over again because that checkpoint sets you back to where you were in your entirety, not just your location. It is extremely tedious and infuriating. I get that some games are hard, but they have to be fair. There's also a couple of dumb stuff. I had a cool weapon, one that I really really enjoyed. I throw the weapon to a boss and suddenly the weapon is just gone. Vanished. Didn't fall onto the ground like it was supposed to. Same thing happened with a key item btw. It's sad since it's actually a good game with very cool stuff. It just got completely ruined by these insulting checkpoints.

Dogwater in all aspects

Топовая игра.

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 enough depth to feel different. It is slow and methodical, but you can get by button mashing normal enemies. The controls can be frustrating. There is a slight delay, this isn't DMC nor is it as intuitive as Dark Souls. I started with a KB/M but had to switch to a controller later because I could pull off moves quicker. It's a better game with a controller, but still not ideal. Music fits but nothing special. You have to really like combat heavy linear Dark Fantasies with little story to enjoy this. And that bug I experienced pisses me off, but I do look forward to playing again with a controller and hopefully beating it. C+ game, buy on sale if you meet the conditions.

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 linear, but highly rewarding to explore the levels, may it be with new weapons or shards of a gem that increase your combat-ability and change your appearance. Battles with enemies are challenging but not impossible so far, and you're offered a big amount of combat skills and dozens of melee combat weapons to use, some of them offering ranged special attacks. If you beat enough spiders, skeletons, dwarfs, mechs and many more different enemies, you increase in level, being able to use skill points for health, endurance, or strength. I cannot wait to continue on my quest. Full recommendation for this epic hack and slash adventure!

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.
