Demon Turf Review Cons:

The graphical style will not be for everyone.
The tutorial level is very slow and kinda boring with not a lot going on or a story unfolding.
Takes a bit of getting used to the style as it can affect the placement of jumps and attacks.
Annoying sound clips that play either randomly in-game or every time you enter a door.
The general jumping around doesn’t feel great.
Can get very difficult.
The pacing feels a bit up and down.
