Labyrinth of the Demon King is a challenging first-person dungeon crawler, set against the backdrop of a mythical feudal Japan besieged by demons. As a lone foot soldier, embark on a quest to track down and slay the Demon King who killed your Lord. But will you have the skill, resources and stamina needed to survive through all the horrors this brutal world will throw at you?
"The world is in chaos, and has entered the latter age of the Dharma.
Society is crumbling and war has spread throughout the country.
Disease and famine have killed thousands, and demons walk the very earth itself.
You are an 'Ashigaru', a foot soldier in the service of Lord Takeda Nobumitsu.
Deceived by a powerful demon king, your lord led his army into an ambush. All perished except for you. Against your wishes your lord sacrificed his life to aid your escape from the battle.
You have made a vow to track down the demon who betrayed your lord and end its life.
You take what could possibly be your final breaths on this mortal plane, and prepare yourself to enter…
The Labyrinth of the Demon King!"
Immerse yourself in the foreboding, dark world of the Demon King, a setting inspired by feudal Japan and brought to life in a gorgeous retro-grim art style. Complete with dither filters for that genuine PS1 feel.
Arm yourself with your wits and a select range of weapons, from katanas and naginatas to muskets and bows, as you engage in brutal, challenging combat. Revel in accomplishment and extreme satisfaction as you take down various Yōkai from ancient myth, and other horrific abominations that dwell in the labyrinth.
As you trudge through the dark, twisted corridors of the Labyrinth, explore every nook and cranny for limited resources. Sets of armor and talismans change your fortunes in combat, and important clues help solve puzzles laid out before you by the Demon King.
Engage with other strange characters on your journey. Some offer things you might need, others a simple moment of respite, but be careful who you decide to trust - it could affect your fate.
As a horror title, Labyrinth features blood, gore, and scenes that many users may find discomforting or gross. All violence is presented in a heavily stylized, pixelated/low-poly format. Enemies can be dismembered additionally.

An Eerie Trip to PS1’s Glory Days
Superb gritty retro visuals and creepy atmosphere. It feels overwhelmingly vast and dangerous. Deeply immersive. Gorgeous.

Solid experience!
This is a game I was excited for a long time and I'm happy that it deliver. Combat wise takes some practice but is rewarding, fun to explore and overall satisfying. The only area I felt disappointed however was the final tower. I thought the final tower was going to be a new area that was going to push you to the limits but alas it wasn't. Despite all that, is a short game so is easy to return for more playthroughs with the weapons you find. Fully recommend for old King field fans.

Dungeon Crawling Horror At Its Best
This shoirt but sweet Survival Horror - Dungeon Crawler mashes the genres togther amazingly well. While the game is short you're still getting your moneys worth hands down. The presentation, atmosphere, and gameplay run perfectly in sync to provide an utterly unique experiance!

A Short But Incredible Experience
I really enjoyed everything about this game, but what really stood out to me were the sound design and the visuals. Together they create an eerie audiovisual experience which makes those brief moments of respite feel especially soothing. Personally I am not a big fan of horror games because I get scared too easily, but this ended up being an exception. The game is scary (by virtue of the setting) but its goal is not to scare you (there are no jumpscares for example). The gameplay is a mix of simple, but satisfying combat and puzzle solving as you slowly make your way through the labyrinth. Out of all the King's Field like games I've played I would say I enjoyed the combat of this game more than others, as it feels like a good balance between modern movement styles (no tank controls, sprinting, jumping) while still remaining slow and methodical in its approach. The puzzle solving never felt annoying or obtuse, but still tricky enough to make you think for a bit. Although there is back-tracking involved in the level design, the areas were small enough or included shortcuts, so it never felt tedious. I came away from it wishing there was a bit more to play, but I enjoyed my time with it and will probably return for a repeat playthrough at some point to try out some of the other weapons.

Too damn short
Game started really good. Combat can be a bit clunky but I quickly got used to it. My main complaint is it's WAY too short! I was expecting a whole other tower to get through and was really disappointed when I got face to face with the final boss.
