The Demon Rush: Legends Corrupt

I really want to like this game. The strange art style, overwrought writing, and action RPG combat definitely appeal. I liked the fighting well enough, the RPG systems seemed interesting, and I laughed when an enemy effortlessly misted another with his palm. It has the hallmarks of a funny-odd indie JRPG. But it is way too disorienting. It's using orthographic projection with a free-roaming camera that constantly collides with objects, and the environments have no shadow maps, so shifting your view is always an ordeal. Interactables aren't clearly designated and their interaction area is finicky, particularly for doors. Combat is far too fast and the default hotkeys are awkward. Messaging for combat abilities is a minor visual effect on the character and a timer with icon in the bottom right. Music is a single track midi song on loop. And I really hated the blonde guy you start with, whose smug self-obsessed South Park-ian attitude immediately drags down the start of the game, especi...

I haven't played a lot of it yet but so far I am enjoying it and plan on playing through the whole story. I think its pretty impressive this was made by one guy and it looks like they have put a lot of effort into it since they have planned expansions for it. So far my favorite alternate game mode is boulderball because it just feels like pure chaos. The combat reminds me of quest 64 which is a huge plus for me. I think the story is fairly interesting and keeps me going with the funny dialogue. I'm pretty excited for the future expansions, to see what naval combat looks like. The fact that there are so many extra modes just makes this a bigger game than it actually is.

Let me say!! I did enjoy my time playing this game. It is, however, a difficult game to recommend. From hard to grasp combat to a somewhat nonsensical autosave feature, this game has a litany of issues. That does not mean, however, that there isn't stuff in the game that's interesting and/or fun. Keep in mind, the following list applies only to the Story mode. I cannot speak for other game modes. Pros: - Game has that classic rpg fun element to it. - Formulaic RPG story (this is a good thing IMO) - Easy to use skill tree. - Fun small comedic moments. - Art and animation style is charming. Gives off the vibes of a 2006 adult swim 3d animated show. Cons: - Combat issues a targetting mechanic ONLY for the NPC's in your party but not for the character you control. - Enemies zip around the battlefield in combat, making actually dealing with them difficult. - Enemy encounters are mostly unavoidable. - There is no clear indication of what is interactable. The page states that "interact...

for a low quality game, it has alot, I reccomend it, a attempt was made, and as weird and chatic and confusing as it is, I cannot deny a huge amount of effort went into it, and that is all I can sk out of a indie game like this
