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.

I started up this title with the intent to play a couple minutes to see what the game was like. Before long, it was lunch time! Thank goodness I tried it out on a weekend!

Nice and original hack & slash

Lots of things are pretty new and original in this hack & slash (apart from the design itself) - the use of 'cards' instead of the classic equipment/inventory : they grant more power, protection, shield, potions, etc. but you have to deal with the total number of cards you can take with you. - as you go deeper in the catacombs, you can choose when you play how many 'levels' you want to go down : this way you can only play for 10min or one hour depending on your time. Anyway, this is a hack and slash : click and kill beasts :). And as you have to play with 'cards', do not expect to manage an inventory of hundreds of looted equipment. On the negative side, i can tell that as your path is 'locked' alongside the corridor, your character moves by itself without stopping (or if you click on an ennemy or behind you to go back), and it cannot move elsewhere : you are not really 'free' of your movement. It is quite annoying and difficult to apprehend at the beginning and you're often surrounded with lots of ennemies without any chance to escape. I only play for a few hours, but i like it. Not tested the 'roguelike/permadeath' mode though.

Very nice surprise!

Just finished my first dungeon with warrior. Last time I saw this game it was a demo version and it got my attention. I am glad it grew to such a full product, with lots of content. Also great for sunday players as you can set up a run based on time you have:)

Clickfest

A real cute casual game. something that is not to hard for us older gamers and young children. PG 13 and easy enough to figure out for a young fella or grandpa. Some days I just really don't want a complicated challenge. I have not played on the hardest setting. You don't need the latest PC hardware to run it either.
