Casual roguelike with unusual mechanics
This is not a hack&slash game! Don't expect Diablo! Book of Demons is a casual roguelike dungeon crawler with unique mechanics and gameplay. Pick one of three classes: warrior, rogue (archer) or mage. At all times, a town is available for you to visit and get "geared up". Well, there isn't really any traditional equipment, all the personalization of your character stems from your equiped cards. These cards are placed in what is essentially an action bar where you would expect skills (1-9). The cards actually can be active skills like arrow storm or fiery jump, or they may represent equipment with passive bonuses - boots (floor effects don't harm you), shield (chance to block arrows), health potion etc. These cards are found in the dungeon and can be noticably upgraded. In the style of Diablo 1 (so many references!), there is only one dungeon, aka the cathedral. You move down from floor to floor with the end goal being the demon at the bottom. If you decide to return to town, you can return to any dungeon floor you've already visited (you don't have to re-clear). On a dungeon floor, you move on set pathways that intersect in a 90 degree fashion (all movement is limited to 4 directions) - again: you can only walk on the pathways, meaning there's a very linear movement through corridors. If you look at any gameplay, you will understand. Thanks to this movement mechanic, this game is not too dynamic or frantic like D2. There are many different types of enemies with unique traits that require different approach (also depending on the class you're playing). Some have shields that require precise targeting of shield icon on the enemy, some monsters go berserk if you attack them too fast etc. And there are mini bosses on some floors. This game tries many "new" things at once, and it's very refreshing. But I also feel that from design's perspective, it's missing an identity. That's why I give 4 stars. But I highly recommend anyone interested to try it!
