About the game

A dark fantasy roguelike where you play as the Devil! Lead famous evil geniuses through events and turn-based fights to spread terror and corruption. Create synergies between your disciples, use your evil powers and take revenge on those miserable Demon Hunters.

The value story

43 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 70 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 83 percent. On the same math Darkest Dungeon® II ($12.39, scores 37) and Iratus: Lord of the Dead ($2.99, scores 66) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

It's fun but very difficult. There is limited meta-progression that carries over between runs so it is more roguelike than roguelite. The soundtrack and voice-acting are top notch.

OVERALL: 5/10 This is one of those ANNOYING AF games that exist on the very edge of greatness... with all the right ingredients for genre domination... and then inexplicably the devs decided to call it a day while standing mere feet away from the finish line. What an absolute godddam waste of everybody's time and talent. The game has phenomenal art direction, music, voice acting, and character design. They totally...
