About the Game

“The Dark Heart of Balor” is a dark fantasy hack and slash side scroller, where you play the demon possessed Hunter. Archdemon Balor has opened the Gate of Hell into the human realm and hordes of demons and monsters have flooded into man’s world destroying everything in their path. You must protect those who are still alive and ultimately destroy Balor to close the Gate. Your quest will take you across the continent of Eridun into dark crypts, demon infested wilds, and demonic rifts in the fabric of the world. It will be full of deadly traps, ambushes, and puzzles. The diabolic foes in your way will test your combat skills and newly found arcane powers. Will you become strong enough to put an end to Balor’s reign of terror? The fate of the world depends on you, Hunter.

Very cool game. I am pretty sure I got it on sale, but so far I think the full price is very fair. Pros: Outstanding graphics. My 1060 3gb does great on high settings, drops from 60 fps to about average 45 on max settings. Still looks great on medium settings. I wish more side scrolling hack and slash games looked like this...don't get me wrong, I like the pixel aesthetic too and it will always have its place. Movement and attack mechanics feel good. Effects are sharp without being too saturated and distracting. Enemy designs are generally simple but varied and satisfying to beat. So far, has nice pacing. Havent gotten into it much to say anything about the story or boss variety yet. It is still early access, so I am looking forward to seeing what sort of updates are coming. Cons: Not much yet to complain about as I am less than an hour in, but one big thing stands out. You have three basic attack buttons. X is your regular attack. Y is a fast combo attack, and B is a slower b...

Wow, this game is excellent, why isn´t it more known or commented ? Early Access and all, the polished Act 1 alone was totally worth of my buying it, and to me deserves and A game score ! (Act 2 & 3 pending). Kudos to the devs !

I really love the combat in this game. The game features a variety of skeletal enemies that provide a good challenge to the player as a sword and shield hero who also inherits demonic powers that adds an extra layer of depth to the gameplay. The puzzles and platforming elements also help to break up the action and keep things interesting. Overall, I highly recommend this game to fans of side scrolling games. The variety of enemies and powers, along with the inclusion of puzzles and platforming, make for a highly enjoyable and satisfying experience.

i can say it's a good platformer, bit easy tho but overall gameplay enjoyed me. i'll be waiting for the Act2. Game feels almost complete, didn't see any game-killing bug or anything. Only thing bothered me is how big character and the other graphic elements on the screen, it would be nice if the graphics little more smaller. Most of the time i'm going down to sub floors without seeing anything. And this game needs dark-tone music according it's atmosphere. I loved the game supports 32:9 screen ratio btw.
