How it feels
A slow, deliberate, and oppressive side-scrolling pilgrimage where every step and swing of the blade tests your faith and survival.

What players say
Players are split on Dark Devotion. Some enjoy the challenge and unique blessing and curse system, while others find it frustrating and janky. The game is best described as a roguelike with soulslike and metroidvania elements, but many say it doesn't excel at any of them, with no backtracking and a fixed map that undermines the roguelike feel.
