Dark Devotion

A magnificent combination of souls-like 2D gameplay and roguelite elements. The level design is solid and features an interesting system of “curses” and “diseases,” as well as traps everywhere: it doesn't force you to dive headfirst into the adventure, but rather encourages you to proceed with caution, just the way I like it The game creates an oppressive and mysterious world with highly detailed pixel art and excellent lighting that captures the essence of dark fantasy, and the soundtrack perfectly complements its somber tone. Combat is intense and strategic, as it revolves around managing your stamina, which is extremely limited. Therefore, every attack, block, or dodge must be carefully calculated. And mastering the rhythm of combat is key to survival. For me, the boss battles were one of the game’s biggest draws. Many are designed with unique and complex attack patterns. And of course, since they’re usually the highlight of the game, they always offer a great challenge and a sense of satisfaction when you defeat them. In fact, there’s an item that lets you skip bosses you’ve already defeated, and I never felt the urge to use it lol The only thing that really frustrated me about this game is that it has the worst controls I’ve ever seen in a 2D platformer: the default button layout is very awkward, and you can’t change it, since there’s no option to remap the controls in this game. And now that I’ve finished it, I have to get used to the normal controls of a 2D game again lol But even so, I’d say it’s worth it for all the great things it offers and for the good discount. If you’re looking for a tactical challenge and are drawn to a dark and oppressive atmosphere, Dark Devotion could turn out to be a memorable and rewarding game.

This is primarily a roguelike game. The Soulslike and metroidvania elements are just flavor.

Depois de 4 horas jogadas e 2 bosses mortos, pude experimentar meu segundo soulslike em 2D, sendo este mais humilde que Blasphemous. Enfim, é um jogo simples e confuso. Não entendia muito bem para onde ir, então acabei simplesmente explorando e encontrando alguns lugares pelo caminho. No jogo, você não pula; apenas desvia para um lado ou para o outro. Os inimigos são injustos, porém previsíveis. As armas têm seu charme e sua essência. Destaque para as colossais, que são LENTAS, mas VALEM CADA SEGUNDO DE LENDINHÃO.

Отличный крепкий Souls-like, со своими отличительными механиками и нюансами. Хороший проработанный пиксель-арт и выдержанная мрачная темная атмосфера.

Its a great game if you are into dungeon crawling. I will go ahead and highlight some cons 1. The initial controls suck and I mean suck. Tried on numerous occassions to change button binds to no avail. Fortunately, was able to pull a controller configuration from the community. Then I only had to change 2 buttons to get what I needed. 2. The map sucks. If only they drew lines in the map to tell you how many floors, the map would have been awesome. Fortunately, the indication that show you what room you are is equivalent to a row. If you move the player position marker from top to bottom, while taking the marker size, you will accurately predict how many floors there are in a given room 3. You can't back track. Its hard enough that if you die on a room, you loose everything. They made it so its impossible to get back to the spawn area and can't carry good equipment you get in a good run to certain bosses. Pros: 1. Its difficult but slow for you to think before entering a fight 2. It was cheap when I bought it 3. The bosses are well thought out 4. A forge system that allows you to get weapons and consumables. Unfortunately, the armor suck. You have to go on a good run to get good gear. 5. Can be addictive once you know the mechanics Overall, buy it if its cheap. I intend to upload my controller configuration. It should be benefitial to many. cheers

Офигенный 2D соулслайк мне очень понравился, смог получить достижение мессия с первого раза, думал финальный босс вызовет трудности, но рунный меч никого не щадит, 10 внезапных тёмных ассасинов из 10

Ele é um jogo pra quer tem paciência e gosta de um bom desafio. Combate lento e preciso. Foi uma jogatina bem divertida e frustrante em muitos momentos. Mas valeu super a pena, pois é muito recompensador cada chefe derrotado ou nova área descoberta. E ainda tem o visual dos chefes q são maravilhosos!
