Monthly and all-time Leaderboards, 200+ Achievements

Book of Demons is the first installment of Return 2 Games - a series of original mid-core titles, inspired by the early golden days of PC gaming.

Cards and Deckbuilding


It’s not a card game, but items, spells, and skills are all expressed as cards. The strategy lies in adapting your hand to each situation. Cards can be upgraded with runes and you can find many variants with diverse bonuses. Legendaries are the most epic but hard to acquire.

Tailored sessions with Flexiscope


Book of Demons respects your time. It features the Flexiscope engine which allows you to divide the game into sessions of any size. It even learns your pace of gaming and predicts the time to complete the next session.

Unique Mechanics


Simplified movement and fight mechanics is where Book of Demons differs the most from other hack & slash games. There is often not enough time to click-remove all of the obstacles such as monster shields, enemy spells, poison, or knocked cards, so timing, card selection and order of execution are critical.

Hack & Slash in the world of Paperverse


Book of Demons takes place in Paperverse, a world that exists entirely inside a pop-up book.
It’s a tale of good and evil about saving the world from the ultimate devilry. Sounds familiar? Inspired by the dark and gloomy atmosphere of the first Diablo game, Book of Demons is part tribute part parody of hack & slash classics.

Comfort of Gameplay


Many Book of Demons features were designed with gameplay comfort in mind. Points of interest are marked at the top of the screen and get revealed once you get closer. Your character leaves footprints, which can be used to track your way back or notice paths already visited without opening the map.

Challenging Endgame


On average it takes about 10 hours to complete the campaign with a single class, but maxing out a character and mastering all of the higher Freeplay difficulty levels and Quests takes much longer. The Roguelike mode offers another level of challenge with permadeath, restricted healing and even more obstacles to overcome.

Corny Ripoff

-1 Star for the Beatles reference. -1 Star for being a corny Diablo 1 ripoff. -1 Star because it's literally on a rail. -1 Star because it's a mobile game, not a Good Old Game. +1 Star for being free. -1 Star for being a card game that doesn't even need cards.

Got it "free". Still say it stucks.

I got this on Steam from a Humble Bundle monthly subscription. I actually thought that this was a deck building take on Diablo. Instead it's just a card board reskin that adds nothing good to the old formula and old story. It just made everything worse. It's boring, non-responsive, and looks much worse than a 30 year hack and slash. Was this supposed to be Diablo for little children? Don't know. Don't care. It's just really terrible. Looking at nazarko_zipolino's review sounds like an obvious fake shill. Stay away.

Book of Demons is most amazing game ever

Wow! "Book of Demons" is like the most amazing game ever! I played it for, like, a gazillion hours and it was totally awesome! The graphics are so cool, with all the monsters and stuff. And the music? It's like magical! It makes you feel all brave and stuff while you're fighting the bad guys. The game is super easy to play too. You just click on things and your character attacks all by themselves. It's perfect a after hard work day because don't have to remember a bunch of buttons or complicated moves. I just click and have fun! I love how you get to explore all these spooky dungeons with traps and secrets. It's like being a real adventurer! And the monsters? They're scary, but I'm not scared because I'm the hero and I can defeat them all! It's so exciting when I find treasure and get new cards for my character. It makes them even more powerful, and I feel like the coolest hero ever! Oh, and did I mention the game changes depending on how much time I have? It's like magic! If I only have a little time, the game makes the dungeon shorter, so I can finish it before dinner. But if I have more time, it makes the dungeon longer and more exciting. It's like the game knows what I need! It's fun, not too hard, and it has all the cool stuff I love. I give it, like, a million thumbs up!

why didnt change a price as in the Steam

The fact that you raised the prices in the Incentive for your product "allegedly" in support of Ukraine, but did not raise it here. It is only your attempt to hype on the sufferings of Ukraine. How was it there? Gaude, mater Polonia. Yeah, of course Poland should be proud of people like you. Absolutely contempt from Kiev

Boycott this company

What's the chance you'll get the same treatment here as on Steam, where you can have all 7 games - yes, this includes Book of Demons - WITH all the Collector's Content for a measly 70$? And before you ask, Steam has the SAME price for Book of Demons. That means 33,91 more bucks for 7 games and all their nifty stuff! But GoG-customers will be cheated on this price, and will have to pay like 33.91 for EACH of the future games or more! Don't support this buisness behaviour.
