Popular Post GravityQueeen Posted September 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Demon's Tier + Reviewed by GravityQueeen As an indie lover I am eager to find exciting games from small developers, always looking forward to the game that is going to be my new hidden gem. This time I stumbled with the quite recent Demon's Tier + and decided to write my own review because more people should play it. This twin-stick shooter dungeon crawler experience puts you in the role of different class based characters, venturing each time deeper into a village's big hole that is not only engulfing people, but also covering a misterious plot about a king and a demon from the past in its 15 randomly generated layers. If you die doing so, a tombstone will mark the place of your death and hold your precious D-tokens in a Dark Souls fashioned way we all know and love. There are two currencies: gold is collected and used inside dungeons to upgrade your characters attributes and skills; D-tokens are collected inside dungeons but can only be used in the game's hub, a village containing a tavern where you can unlock new heroes, a shop where you can buy potions, keys and ropes that brings you back to the surface without losing your hard earned D-tokens, and a blacksmith where you can craft powerful weapons for your future runs after you have beaten bosses and collected the proper recipees. It is addictive and even though you die here and there, you are always making some progress. In the colorful game's hub you can talk to NPCs, listen to a relaxing song and prepare yourself for the next run In order to advance and open the door to the next layer, you must complete random tasks like defeating all enemies, opening all chests on the current floor, or collecting a special key dropped from mini-bosses that opens a special chest containing useful perks. Each two layers features a huge boss battle: beat it and you get a large amount of gold, D-tokens and, with luck, a recipee for crafting better weapons. Be carefull, though, because the ticking clock foreshadows The Reaper, a powerfull being that hunts the player, should him take too long on the same floor. Besides random perks collected in big chests, if you buy keys in the shop, you will be able to free villagers from cages inside the dungeon, then they will follow your character, giving you an extra bullet: this is in fact the most powerfull upgrade if you can afford 3 keys and increase your shots by that amount. You will need all firepower you can get when facing the game's awesome final boss. The soundtrack is great, especially during boss battles. The 8-bit retro art-style is charming and unique, and so is the roster of beautifully pixalated characters. Once you manage to beat the game, to keep things fresh, Demon's Tier + features harder difficulties in form of Tier 2 and 3, which increases the enemies HP and damage, but when completed, each tier has a different ending and rewards the player with two very powerful unlockable characters: the Valkyrie and the Warrior. The local coop and all these aspects add a high replay value to the game. After I had beaten all tiers, I was still playing with different characters, killing bosses and collecting recipees to increase my arsenal. Trophy hunters will have a blast playing Demon's Tier +, the trophies are fun to get, challenging, fair, straight-forward, and can be achieved quite fast if you, like myself, can not put your controller down until you have conquered all layers and have seen the true ending.
