Demon Gaze II Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
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…
Though dungeon crawlers usually aren’t for everyone, Demon Gaze II manages to cater to all audiences by offering a low access point for newcomers and a fairly high skill cap for veterans.
Finally, there's a sequel to 2014's highly underrated dungeon crawling masterpiece. Although Demon Gaze II doesn't reinvent the classic formula, does it at least live up to its predecessor?
Demon Gaze II aims for purity in a dungeon crawler, and mostly captures the magic of its forebears. While the dungeons themselves are wholly uninteresting, and some may take exception to the "maintenance" mechanic, Demon Gaze II manages to be a fun, worthwhile experience.
Dungeon crawling may not appeal to everyone since it caters to a particular niche, but Demon Gaze II is quite welcoming even if you have never played the 1st game. The corny and tropey interactions between our characters with some twists to the plot make the game more fun than what one can initially perceive it to be. It’s also worth commending how easy it is for people who are new to this particular genre to get a grasp of it thanks to the features it has implemented. This may be my 1st dungeon crawling game but thanks to this, it certainly will not be my last.
Demon Gaze has made the jump to console for its second entry. While the platform options may have expanded, the Vita roots are still fully evident in this dungeon crawler.

Streamlining facets of the original Demon Gaze lead its sequel to be a little less frustrating but a little more bland.
STORY Demon Gaze II starts off by making you feel like you're playing a novel. There is an intense amount of story laid out right from the start, and you can spend some time clicking through conversations upon conversations that not only teach you about gameplay, but also let you know
