Demon Gaze II

Jan 1, 1970

Demon Gaze II is only one or two tiny steps away from breaking away from its genre trappings to be a game that is so good that people who don’t usually like the dungeon crawlers should give it a play. The developer has done a great job in making the game more accessible (while still leaving plenty of ultra-difficult stuff there for the really committed), and the art direction for the characters and monsters is so vivid and vibrant that you can’t help but admire them. There’s even an intriguing plot in there, but the slight difficulty that the developer has with pushing through and doing something really meaningful with it, and then linking the plot to the exploration of the world itself means that Demon Gaze II remains, principally, a genre piece that will only really appeal to existing fans of dungeon crawlers.

Forget the big number 'II' on the title; Demon Gaze II is very much a standalone title that tones down some of Experience Inc.'s more complex systems to create a dungeon RPG that's both accessible for newcomers with some devilishly challenging endgame content once you think you've mastered the experience. Pros - Simplified mechanics while retaining that signature Experience Inc.

As far as sequels go, Demon Gaze II hits the mark as it manages to improve on almost every aspect of the original game. The Dungeon Crawler genre is not the easiest type of game to get into, but Demon Gaze II deserves some credit for not only being a well-polished title for veterans of the genre, but also being pretty approachable for newcomers as well. If you had a chance to see Richards review of this game on the Vita last week, you have a pretty good idea of what to expect here with the PS4 iteration.

Strange, gorgeous and arrestingly charming, Demon Gaze II may not be a game for everyone. However, if you have a soft spot for classical 'crawlers like Wizardry or Dungeon Master, this’ll likely scratch that itch, and it'll do so with a tonne of spunky Japanese verve and charisma, to boot.

Even though it isn't as captivating as the first game, Demon Gaze II offers an engaging campaign that dungeon crawler fans are sure to appreciate. I just hope Demon Gaze III takes a few more risks.
