Demon War - Impulse Deals, Reviews, Interview

by Dhruin, 2011-04-07 23:20:48

Soldak sent over a bunch of news mostly related to Din's Curse: Demon War, so I'll collect it all here. First, their three full games are on sale at Impulse for 50% off - this doesn't include the Demon War expansion, but you can grab the Din's Curse main game on sale and then add the expansion.

A site called I-Luv-Games has a review - no score but it all sounds positive:

The experience is unique in that everything, from the towns to the dungeons, characters and side quests, are randomly and dynamically generated every single time you play a new game.  Not only are the dungeons and quests randomly generated, but things that are going on in the world itself are constantly changing and evolving.   The perils you’ll face are different every time you play.  Outside the dungeons and on the surface of the world, townsfolk will rebel, traitors will turn against you, people may die of starvation, while others succumb to treachery.

Another review at Diehard Game Fan with a rating of "Good Game"

The real factor that sets this game apart is it’s dynamically generated gameplay. I know I’ve mentioned this before but it is a strong component of the game that makes it unique and helps make up for some of its presentation flaws. The simpler graphics and sound aren’t anything groundbreaking and does add some charm to the game. I used to be a huge fan of RPGs but as time went on, I found I had less and less time to spend on a lengthy story. Din’s Curse does a pretty good job of taking the RPG style of game play and making it more digestible in byte sized components. The random level system is great for this and the almost “Stage Style” nature of the Towns makes it easy to get into a game for a bit, complete a town, then take a break and come back later for some more. You don’t feel like you’re abandoning your characters and you don’t have to try to remember what you were doing last time you played it. Unlike Diablo, you’re not going to be playing the same two dozen quests every time you start a new game either. Yes there is some repetition and similarities in quests but there’s enough variety to make it less noticeable. Demon War also adds some options to engage Town People in combat so if you really want you can just go completely Chaotic Evil and slaughter everyone instead of saving them.

Finally, Indie Game News has an interview.
