Daemon-vs-Demon

This game involves fighting demons – malignant spirits that want to kill your hero. You play a daemon, which is also a supernatur­al spirit, only he’s benevolent rather than bad to the bone. In

Daemon-vs-Demon, misfortune has led our hero into the depths of hell and now he has to slay rogue demons in a bid to return to the world of the living.

The game’s world is dingy and rain-soaked. Demons can strike from the shadows, taking you by surprise and quickly injuring you before you have a chance to react. Interestin­gly, your daemon character can take the form of vanquished enemies and remain unnoticed as he travels around the map. Each transforma­tion lasts for dozens of seconds and once you become yourself, packs of demons attack you from all the sides. The goal of the Daemon-vs-Demon is to find the exit from each level, which can be a tricky task even without the presence of those bothersome demons. The game is based on the Godot engine, and if you remember the amusing MouseBoat game from LXF219, you’ll notice some resemblanc­es between the two. Daemon-vs-Demon features rough, pixel-like graphics and plays as a retro platformer. It won Game Off 2017, Github’s fifth annual game jam celebratin­g open source, so we strongly recommend trying this game because it has a lot of style and frantic intrigue to offer. You don’t need to compile anything – just download the Linux version from https://securas. itch.io/daemon-vs-demon and run the single executable file that’s within it.
