About Gone with the Demon
Gone with the Demon is a first-person modern dungeon brawler game in which the player explores a creepy labyrinthine environment, battling vicious demons and possessed enemies who grow stronger every time the player dies in a directional, fluid, solid combat system.
Bidirectional combat system that suits the first-person perspective
Basically, all the attacks in the game come from the left or right side, so the direction of the attack must be determined before dealing with it. Unlike the third-person view, in the first-person view it is easier to know which direction the enemy is attacking from without indicators by seeing the enemy’s movements, making combat more immersive.
Terrifying enemies encouraged by the player’s death
The labyrinthine corridors and rooms are filled with mysterious demons and possessed enemies. Of course, there are gargantuan demon bosses. When you are killed by enemies, they grow stronger. You have to make an offering to a Totem to turn the enemies back to normal or fight against enemies that constantly test you.
A variety of movements with fluid controls that are easy to grasp
The game provides players with a variety of movements like block, dodge, counterattack, guard break, backstabbing, and weapon-specific combos. You will need to make use of all your movements and fight strategically. It's important to work on seeing the enemy’s movement and knowing when to attack or block.
Diverse melee weapons and projectiles
Pipe wrenches, knives, baseball bats, sledgehammers and a lot more tools.
Each weapon has unique stats and a unique move set. Figure out which weapon is more effective to which enemy. Also, you may throw stones and bricks to attract enemies or Molotov cocktails to BURN THEM ALL.
Dangerous or helpful secrets
Look around, find notes and break crates to reveal hidden paths and items. Watch your step to avoid traps. If you discover the traps in advance, you can lead enemies into the traps.
Level-up
Collect Demon Essence and spend it to enhance character abilities and buy items.
Character abilities will determine character personalities and game playstyles.
Supports game controllers with rumble.

I am writing a negative review only to warn that this game was left in early access with the devs apparently abandoning it. The last update was early in 2018, it's the middle of 2019 and no update since then.22 found this helpful
The game isn't bad, but it feels like it's been abandoned. Just to warn you.4 found this helpful
Indie Breakdown with horror flair, not a roguelite but death is punishing and evokes a similar feeling of tension. Story is non-existant and leveling is confusing, otherwise very enjoyable.3 found this helpful

[h1] A Solid Melee Brawler with Rough Edges [/h1] If you're into melee combat games, Gone with the Demons delivers where it counts—even if it stumbles along the way. [h2] GOOD [/h2] [list] [*][b] Satisfying Melee Combat [/b] The core gameplay loop is built around close-quarters combat, and it works. Landing hits feels impactful, and the enemy variety keeps encounters from getting stale. If you're looking for a game where you can get in close and trade blows, this scratches that itch. [*][b] Interesting Premise [/b] The concept behind the game stands out. The demon-infused world and the mechanics tied to it offer something different from the usual hack-and-slash fare. It's clear the developers had a vision, and it shows in the setting and atmosphere. [*][b] Coherent Story [/b] It's a simple setup—save your girlfriend from the big bad—but it's told with clarity. The narrative doesn't overstay its welcome or try to be more than it is. Sometimes straightforward storytelling is all you need to keep things moving.

This game is not bad for a combat game based on the Unity engine. These combat attacks remind me of Condemned: Criminal Origins in a somewhat decent say (The combat on that game is better than this game). Nevertheless this game is great especially for the fact that it's an Early Access game! This game's length is not too short but not too long. All in all this game is great especially if you get this game when it's on sale. I highly recommend this game.1 found this helpful
