Dark Devotion

Dark Devotion is a well-crafted 2D souls-like action game. The combat system is solid, and the 2D open world is impressive as well.

The gameplay is decent and death is typically a result of taking risks that don’t pay off (or being screwed over by some last minute negative affliction). Learning how enemy’s behave, following their tells and knowing how to respond is the best way to conquer the game. Just know that it’s going to take a lot of practice and a whole lot of deaths to reach that point. What really sells the game, though, is an exquisite visual design that demands a coffee table art book. Dark Devotion is for those who swatted Quelaag, scoffed at Father Gascoigne, snickered at the Nameless King, and yawned at the entirety of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Dark Devotion is full of imperfections, but it is also full of great ideas. If you like metroidvania games and the Dark Souls feeling, you should give it a try, since it does deliver a challenging but enjoyable adventure.

Hard as hell, Dark Devotion is a roguelike with some touches of Dark Souls and a huge number of curses that will make you enjoy and suffer at the same time. A really hard experience.

While Dark Devotion is in no way a perfect Souls-like or metroidvania, it's definitely a pleasant mix of those two "genres." Some of the design choices at hand can make the experience feel a bit repetitive, and even annoying at times, but, as a whole, this is a pretty solid recommendation for lovers of challenging action-adventures with a dreadful atmosphere.

An enjoyable experience, essentially, especially for all the "devotees" of the reference genre.

Dark Devotion is intriguing, but design problems and cumbersome combat do their best to keep it from reaching its full potential.

Really good game. Most of the complaints come from people who have petty complaints, and didn't play long enough to understand the gameplay loop

Dark Devotion delivers an excellent level of soul-like gameplay. Combat is tough and challenging, as you would expect, but yet easy to progress into. Visuals are amazing and the play with light and darkness is really engaging.

dungeon crawling/platform game where u can't jump nor go back in most of cases

Awkward for a sidescrolled game. There is no JUMP action, WTF ?? And you cannot rebind controls for a gamepad. The story isn't much interesting.

Es de vital importancia parar con el "pixel art" es vago, feo y anticuado. Juegos como Salt and Santuary demuestran que no es necesario. El "pixel art" es un recurso pobre, ensalzado por personas comformistas. Dicho esto, Dark Devotion sufre un retraso de 20 años en mecanicas, graficos y desarrollo. Es lento, pobre y obsoleto, con demasiadas mecanicas tediosas y absurdas. Ni siquiera se puede reorganizar el gamepad, ni tiene un triste inventario... Todo es obsoleto y leeentoooo, a evitar a toda costa.
