Although you can’t actually upgrade your weapon in order to make life easier, you do still level up which unlocks more health or mana points, as well as have the ability to upgrade your cards to provide more support whilst in battle. The gameplay is very simple but it does take a while to get used to, due to the standing still whilst attacking mechanic, but you’ll soon become accustomed to it and easily slaughter anything that moves. You can also use the aforementioned card system to line up a bunch of spells (both offensive and defensive) which can be called upon to help you out as long as you have enough mana. But, you can hold Cross to provide a constant stream of attacks one after another (which is much faster) at the expense of being unable to move. The protagonist auto-attacks as you move around, shooting a projectile if they’re in range but far away, and melee attacking if they get up in your face. However, the game encourages you to kill all the enemies on the floor, wipe out all the bosses, open all chests, and pick up all the items and gold the deceased demons drop during death.
Your objective is to find the staircase and leave the floor your on so that you can proceed. Once you enter a dungeon, you walk around set paths – you can explore the entire area but you can’t leave the track, just like a train.
I love the various mechanics within Book of Demons, it’s all rather simplistic yet strategic at the same time. Not only will you face lowly minion scum, but you’ll also have to man-up against numerous bosses which would love to see your blood splattered against the walls and your body torn into pieces. What started as a simple request for an upset local quickly turns into a massive adventure which takes you through a maze, the catacombs, and even Hell itself! You’ll make your way through procedurally generated dungeons which progressively become harder as the amount of enemies increases along with the unit types and strength. After a little persuading from the delightful barmaid, you agree to help them out and become the exterminator to their pests. You’ve returned to a small town only to find that they are in dire need of help as the dungeons below their peaceful home have become the breeding ground for demons and satanic creatures, beasts who have slaughtered, kidnapped and chased away all but a few of the townsfolk. Book of Demons takes place in the fabled Paperverse, a land inhabited by what can only be described as papercraft people.
