Deck Building Game Book of Demons launches on Steam next week

Book of Demons, the upcoming hack and slash for PC and Xbox One, will launch on Steam Early Access on July 28th. Book of Demons is a deck-building hack and slash adventure game, where it’s the player who decides the length of quests. The game is the first instalment of Return 2 Games – a series of original mid-core titles, inspired by the early golden days of PC gaming.

Main game features:
·         Build your own deck of skills – the game supersedes the usual aRPG statfest with a single solution, a card system.
·         Select the length of each quest – adjust the size of each quest to your time, not the other way round.
·         Paper-cut graphics – a dark fantasy hack and slash in the world of Paperverse.
·         Procedurally generated, randomly-populated dungeons.

Further Info:

  • It’s you who decide the length of quests. Book of Demons allows you to set the length of each quest, thanks to our Flexiscope system. It learns your way of playing and always gives you the best experience, making Book of Demons the first truly accessible hack & slash.
  • Build your own deck of devastating skills. Collect powerful skill cards, combine them depending on the enemies you’re facing and assemble your favorite set of devastating powers. Efficiency of each card will greatly depend on the situation you’re in, so be prepared to make constant adjustments.
  • Relive the classic with a good laugh. Book of Demons is a universal tale of good and evil about saving the world from total destruction and ultimate devilry. Sounds familiar? Well, how about retelling the story in a different way, with a humorous twist of a parody?
  • Be a part of a one-of-a-kind adventure. Never explore the same dungeon twice – in Book of Demons every level is a procedurally generated, randomly-populated adventure of its own. You won’t get bored by the diversity of monsters either – there are over 70 kinds of creatures waiting to be slain: lurking scorpions, snake archers, mad goatmen, not-so-sexy succubi… you get the idea.
  • Hack and slash in the world of Paperverse. Book of Demons is indeed a dark fantasy hack and slash, but unlike other action role-playing games, it’s set in the pop-up book world of Paperverse. The paper-cut universe is one of the hallmarks of Return 2 Games – a series of mid-core games, inspired by the early golden days of PC gaming. Book of Demons is the first installment of the Return 2 Games series.
  • Slaying the Archdemon won’t be the end of the story. In Book of Demons, you can master the campaign with 3 different classes (Warrior, Rogue or Mage), revisit your favorite quests in Freeplay mode or rise to the challenge and explore the dungeons on higher difficulty levels (the last one is called Massacre, not without good reason).

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
