Jan. 2025

The truth is that game is not for everyone. It takes a lot from souls-like games, builds over it with faith system. The RPG system does not involve leveling, just couple perks that can be bought with 'souls' and gear. Combat is more forgiving than in souls titles (mainly because of instant dodge-roll and animation cancel, no damage block). Nontherless it is quite more difficult than ds3, with brutal and unforgiving enemies, bosses and levels. It is also rewarding because of it's difficulty. Game can be really steep in the begining, but it gets better with every beaten boss (maybe with exception to Jezebel). It is also not very linear, can easily get lost in labyrinth of rooms. I really suggest this game for every souls-like fan, that can invest a bit of a patience in starting levels.

Really like the style, concept and just how the gameplay - it feels heavy, grim and knightly. Kind of a mix between Souls, Salt&Sanctuary, Blasphemous, etc. Very much of my type. Great job.

Dec. 2024

Overall experience: Game is turn out great than I think. a lot of thing to do and to unlock, include secret here and there to be discover. Fan of metroidvania game with a bit of roguelite element should not miss this gem. Good Part: control are tight enough (Play with M+KB). didn't experience any bug yet (30+ hr playtime). try to solve secret kinda fun tbh. a lot variety of items that useful along the journey. Downside: a bit hard to go for 100 % achievements due to some RNG element. can't backtracking at all you have to start a new run only. can't jump... nothing more to say here. :(

Nov. 2024

Dark Devotion is an unconventional souls game that’s somewhat hamstrung by some questionable rogue-like mechanics. But it’s definitely well made and interesting enough to appeal to a certain style of souls player. Some reviewers claim that this is a roguelike which is a genre a lot of people are sick of in the indie space. But this is not really true in that the levels are not procedurally generated. The game does have a roguelike structure in that you need to do more runs in order to unlock better abilities and better weapons. The game starts out extremely punishing with your character being very weak as well. So you have to be patient to progress further to get more powerful. The dreary atmosphere and the focus on traditional dungeoneering with traps and shadows is excellent. Also if your like me and wants souls games to go back to more deliberate and strategic combat, this game will be for you bc it really is about patience and using the right windows to attack decisively.

June 2024

It was tough to start playing Dark Devotion, recall that after trying it for the first time, did not like combat at all and left game for a while. But after revisiting it, yeah, game is quite good. Dark aesthetics with good portion of horror and disgusting stuff seems to become a staple of subgenre of roguevania. Though sometimes it's so dark you wish you'd have taken that stupid light consumable from last room, but there are only 4 consumable slots, and that thing is one of most useless ones, except such specific situations. Audio adds a bit to the general vibe, but wouldn't call it extraordinary, neither music not game sounds - they are just fitting. Pixel graphics are fine, less detailed than some other titles in some regards, a bit better in others - as with audio - they are fitting and not much more. To be honest might not be up to the task to talk about plot, main idea of being templar and going through cathedral that was built upon old religions ruins is easy to understand, however lots of details and most importantly ending are evasive to me. Either both good and bad endings leave a lot to be desired in my understanding or as mentioned understanding is not enough. Gameplay is fairly standard - side-scroller, mainly melee, low survivability that allows to weather less than 10 hits from weakest enemies even with best equipment, rolls and jumps to dodge dangers, lots of traps and environmental hazards, small chance to find better gear or weapons during run, mostly consumables, bunch of ways to get through to the end, map separated into thematic areas which consist of "rooms", some very rare encounters of friendly npcs, bunch of bosses that you have to go through no matter which route is chosen, secrets and permanent power ups to collect etc.
