Demoniaca Everlasting Night Review Cons:

Cannot rebind controls.
The game doesn’t actually give you an initial chance to reload a save and instead has you jump straight into a new run.
The controls take a lot of getting used to as the face buttons are punch and kicks, triggers are jump and block.
The game doesn’t actually pause.
Brutal entry to the game with high damage enemies and none of the ineffective attacks explained.
Restarting has you doing the same route over and over and gets very old.
Big knockbacks from enemies.
