Demon Skin – Spotlight
Demon Skin is a 2D platformer with hack and slash gameplay. You play as a member of the Order of Wanderers, who has been turned into a demon after a ritual goes wrong. You mission is to go in search of the artifacts that can restore you back to your previous form.
The gameplay is fairly satisfying, if a bit wonky. The platforming is functional, but the hack and slash elements are great to look at. You battle your way through to numerous foes, and the combat is enjoyable. The game ends a bit abruptly in around 4 hours, so we hope a sequel is coming.
Pros:
Fun combat
Looks good
Fun bosses
Cons:
A bit clunky
Ends too soon
Score – 8/10
