Demon Turf: Queens Edition Reviews

fun

While this game has a lot of heart, it has absolutely no sauce. Beebz feels about as flat as she looks, none of her moves or attacks have any feedback or impact. The gameplay is frustrating, demanding you just intuit how hard the next segment is going to be, since it's up to you to place your own checkpoints. I got to world 3 and I just had to stop. I hope the sequel is much better, there's clearly a LOT OF LOVE put into this game. I just wish there was more than that. Also I'm sorry but why do the NPCs look so jarringly different from the rest of the art. What the heck happened there?

Demon Turf is a good game because you play as a shapeshifter

[h1] A platformer that lets you relieve your childhood [/h1] Unlike most indie platformers released nowadays, I really liked this platformer because it has its own unique charm and doesn't seem like a clone of a former great platformer. I love its unique art style. The story is cute—nothing over the top—and it seemed like every level tried to be unique and challenge the player with something new. The difficulty increased step by step, but it never became too frustrating since you could place your own checkpoints. The controls have a fun moveset where you can move faster once you've mastered them. Of course, the game has some rough patches and isn't as polished as AAA games, but if you want to play a 3D platformer that follows its own style, I highly recommend it!

This game would probably be great if it would let me keep my save. After you play the first level for the first time DO NOT press retry. To start off the movement is nice. The spin into a double jump dash is a fun way to go fast. I beat the first level, wanted to go back and try to beat it under the speedrun time because I just played the level so it would be fresh in my mind. Realized I was probably not good enough yet to consistently make the jumps so I quit to go to level 2, and it erased my save. I came back a few hours later. Better speedrun the first level to get it out of the way so I can finally move on. I beat it 13 seconds over the speedrun time. I decided to run through it again, recollect the collectibles I got the first time I played. But I noticed, the level was slightly different. It no longer forced me to take a detour it forced me to take the first time. A detour that cost me time. Growing upset, I decided to put the game down and do something else. That erased my save again... I'm sorry but I don't have it in me to keep replaying the first level.

PSA: This game's joystick deadzone feature reduces your diagonal movement speed the higher it is. I prefer it set to 0. Experiment with it to determine what you prefer. ----- It took me some time to get used to the more slow-paced design of this game. You will be disappointed if you expect to be able to zoom around like you're playing Mario Odyssey or something. The challenge in this title comes from the precision it requires. There are a lot of small platforms, and tall heights that require a lot of patience. Once I understood what the game wanted from me I ended up liking it a lot more than when I first started. I recommend unlocking the "Winged Demon" and "Updraft" abilities ASAP, because they significantly open up your movement options.

[h1] A positive review from me?! [/h1] I'll say how i feel about this game after completing it and getting all its trophies. You should buy it if you like platformers with style and attitude, and overall if you like when a developer puts its heart in a game, it gives the feeling like he is beside you watching you play. BUT the start was pretty rough for me (i usually don't play platformers), but if you stick around it'll be worth it. There are some level problems, but seeing how small the team is i can pass over that. The music is PERFECT, FatBard nailed it. In the end i think [b] you should buy it [/b] . I hope that Demon Tides will at least as good as this (but please Fabraz polish those animations that i saw in the trailer) i would also love more dialogues or interaction with the main characters just to make the world feel more alive. -A fellow forktown resident

For lovers of 3D platformers, this game is wonderful and fun. Anyone who played Mario 64 will feel right at home. The game has very responsive controls, mechanics, and gameplay that are both fun and challenging, with enemies and a map designer. There's also a Workshop available for users to create downloadable maps!

It brings me back to old super mario games, it's really fun. I love the movement and how well you can chain different jumps to create a nice flow during the levels and skip most of the obstacles. If you're into platforms you'll enjoy this one.
