How it feels

A 16-bit inspired action-platformer that feels like a classic Metroidvania, with tight combat, spell upgrades, and methodical exploration through varied environments.

What players say

Players praise Demons of Asteborg as an authentic Genesis-era throwback with gorgeous pixel art and chiptune music, but many say it drags down the experience with frustrating collision detection and repetitive platforming. The ending catches players off guard with an abrupt, easy final boss fight.
