Once I figured how to best utilize the dual currency system and escape with my rope as needed, I started to enjoy my time with Demon’s Tier+ much more. While the grind is long and arduous, there’s plenty of replay value within for those that want a challenge to unlock everything it has to offer, including multiple tiers. Highly addictive twin-stick gameplay combined with tough-but-fair roguelike elements make for quite a decent experience overall, one that had me trying “just one more time”.

I will probably go back and complete the third tier just to get my last achievement, but after that there isn’t much of a point in playing since unlocking the legendary character after tier 1 essentially negates all other cool aspects of the game. This might be one of the few times I felt disappointed after becoming overpowered early on in a game. Still, it’s a decent little dungeon crawler that should satisfy a good population of people.

Demon's Tier+ is a solid little throwback, with heart pounding action, fun game mechanics and systems that allow for upgrades to suit the player's style of gaming, and enough intriguing story content to be at least worth one playthrough. There's not enough incentive here to push through later difficulty tiers for anyone but the most ardent of roguelike experts and monotonous gameplay is a big issue that's only amplified by its escape rope system. Still, the core of the game is very good and anyone looking for their next nostalgia trip gaming experience may find themselves satisfied with this old school roguelike.

Don't let the look deceive you. This is a solid game. This is how games should be. In good faith, I cannot give it more points, because it's short and the visuals are sometimes hindering the gameplay (can't see the traps). Still, I had a lot of fun and could not put down the controller. It was made by a single developer and you can buy it for pennies. Give it a try.

Demon's Tier+ is a 16bit Top-Down Dual-Stick Rouge-Lite Action RPG. With Anime styling to the character art, Demon's Tier takes you on a fantasy adventure with a twist. The levels are procedurally generated, and so are the quests. You can play as one of eight characters, each with their own play style. Death means the removal of your earnings and a trip back to the start. You do gain levels, through the collection of gold, and between stages, you can spend it to level your character. Then you can use D-tokens to permanently unlock characters and upgrade gear. Combat is done by avoiding incoming attacks with the Left Stick and "Shooting" with the Right Stick. Each level is random, and you enter, do your mission, and find the exit. You only have five minutes to complete a stage before the reaper appears to destroy you, ha can be avoided, but contact with it hurts you, so escape before it gets you. This title reminds me of a lot of Gauntlet, Everyone throws or shoots something, and there are droves of enemies to defeat. There is also tons of treasure to loot. With Live Local or Split Screen, you can bring a friend along too! The chiptune music fits the game perfectly most of the time. Fans **** dungeon crawl, will find some serious action here!

Despite a lacklustre story, a couple of negligible problems and a disappointing climax, Demon’s Tier+ on Xbox One is still an addictively fun twin-stick, rogue-like experience. The unlockable characters, improved weaponry and a rewarding sense of achievement just ensures you want to dive in again and again.

Demon Tier+ is a fun dungeon crawler with some interesting ideas which worked well for me. This gaming style prevents over-grinding to allow you to breeze through, and the dual currency part of the game is interesting. It has a decent amount of challenge to it to keep it interesting too. I recommend this to dungeon crawler fans, as there is a lot to keep you coming back, aiming to get that much further each time.
