The paper-like aesthetic fits so well into the world as it is unique and creative. In my opinion the art is my favourite part of this game. Overall all NPCs cover a wide variety of roles and are necessary to progress forward. And lastly the Healer heals the player and brings back the player from death. The Barmaid makes stew from ingredients you find in the dungeon, giving bonuses. The Fortune Teller upgrades cards, recharges item cards, and fuses rune cards. The Sage identifies cards that you earn in the dungeons as well as maintains the bestiary, which holds information on enemies. There are currently four NPCs in town which the player can interact with. A common card does not have any additional bonuses, while magical cards gain one random bonus power, and legendary cards have two magical bonuses and one unique legendary bonus. There are currently three variants of cards: common, magical, and legendary. Spell cards are pretty much active skills like in any other hack’n’slash game, and item cards are limited usage cards that have to be charged by the Fortune Teller by paying gold. It doesn’t actually use Mana so these cards are the easiest to use. Artefacts give passive effects by locking a certain amount of Mana. Instead of stats, skills, and equipment, it uses a card system with three types. The most unique thing about the game and the main reason why this game is unique is the card system. The last, and hardest in my opinion, is the rogue as she does not have the clearing damage of a mage, but relies on tricks and item cards. Mages are harder as they have a need to cast spell cards and Mana is a scare resource that doesn’t recover over time. ![]() The warrior is armoured and beginner friendly as they don’t require many spell cards and rely more on artifact cards. The player can choose up to three classes: warrior, mage, and rogue, each with their own unique play styles and difficulty. There are also options to make the game roguelike, with an active global leaderboard established. Health and Mana do not regenerate and thus playing recklessly will punish the players. You have to plan your actions in advance if you want to proceed. Having this mechanic based around just your mouse, it is impossible to just run in blindly. Holding down the mouse of said enemies attacks faster. Using the mouse you navigate a line through the level and automatically attack enemies. Unlike typical hack’n’slash games, The Bo ok of Demons revolves around a linear style of movement and combat. Their only hope is the player, a wandering hero who can free them from the ultimate evil. Below the holy place are corridors of dark and twisted mazes, where an awakened evil lurks, preying on the livelihood of the town. The plot is set in the Paperverse, underneath a cathedral in a small town. Whereas most hack’n’slash adventure games are chaotic and mechanically driven, having a more tactical and strategic approach to the genre was actually very welcoming. Originally this really irked me, but the more I played the more I came to find the game strangely addicting. While I’ll leave the bigger details for the gameplay section, I’ll say that using pretty much only my mouse to do everything is quite annoying. That’s right, you heard me: lack of control. The plot of the game seemed boring, and the premise of scaling level after level while having a lack of control over what I could do was just bad. When I first started the game I didn’t have a lot of hope for it. I have had the pleasure of playing this game through its early access and I can say for certain that it has potential as it is unique, challenging, and a lot of fun. ![]() It’s the first instalment of an upcoming game series called Return 2 Games, which aims to introduce audiences to a classic style of hardcore gaming. ![]() The B ook of Demons is a hack’n’slash game, reminiscent of titans of the genre like the Diablo franchise or Torchlight, except with a pop up book aesthetic. After two and a half years of testing, The B ook of Demons, developed by Thing Trunk has been officially released.
