Demon Skin

Game World Navigator Magazine
Demon Skin feels more like a vertical slice of a great game than a product of its own. It’s short, it’s not polished enough, but the core gameplay is solid. Hopefully, the studio will get a bigger budget next time – there’s a lot of potential here. [Issue#253, p.51]
After about six hours with Demon Skin, I think I’m done. Overall it’s just too simplistic, and it felt like I was repeating content far too soon. Sure, there are are new enemies and new areas, but ultimately it feels like a samey sort of ride that has players constantly jumping over spikes, battling similar monsters and leveling up basic stats. There’s just not enough new content, story or ideas here that make me want to continue the push to the end.
A half-baked game with an interesting concept.

Demon Skin has its drawbacks. The platformer in this game can be very awkward. However, the combat system is amazing. And very attractive. The level design is simple but fun. I completed it in 5 hours.

A great game, albeit short, completely unfairly included in the list of the worst games of 2021. Even according to the estimates of local players, she is a solid middling, she was unfairly buried by local game critics.

Garbage, don't try it. It is waste of time. Simple mechanic unoptimized content. It is totally not worth your time.

Demon Skin cherry-picks mechanics from your favourite games and presents them in a deliciously gory fruit salad.

Demon Skin isn’t a bad game, but it is ropey and certainly needed more work where the animations and menus are concerned.

Demon Skin is a game that tries; it shows potential but fails due to missed opportunities and a lack of refinement. The combat is decent – though it can suffer from movement issues and unfair AI - and the game features good environments, but everything else proves to be a letdown. The story is incomprehensible, with no buildup, engagement or payoff, and the level design features far too many annoying, inexplicable, and often cheap instakill traps. It's not impossible to find some good aspects, but they're fighting a tidal wave of nitpicks and negatives.

Demon Skin definitely needed a lot more work. It’s a buggy mess and a number of features mentioned in the help section or announcement trailers are just straight up missing. At its core, it has a plot they seem to be trying to do something original with, and a combat system that makes blocking more engaging. They could have done so much more, but at the end of the day I cannot recommend getting this.

Good game, I advise you to play, enough for a couple of evenings. There is a rather unusual combat mechanic, which is not clear at first, but then you get used to it and it is played much better. I also want to highlight the atmosphere of the game, it is good, the music complements, the backgrounds are excellent, especially where the gnomes are. Enemies are difficult, sometimes very difficult.

It's an amazing fresh hack-n-slash project that offers pretty complex but at the same time captivating combat system. It also has brilliant thoroughly polished graphics and unique lore. Alltogheter these elements blend into a deep exciting experience. Very good game.

Hello everyone, this game is definitely worth your attention, it has excellent graphics, a great plot, an interesting combat system, nice music and just excellent voice acting of the characters. The complexity of this game lies precisely in the combat system and traps that will come across on your way. Feel free to take the game.

This is a bit baggy game which unfortunately becomes quite boring after an hour of playing. Locations look great, but animations are pure. The storyline is quite primitive.
