Any Demon Gaze fans out there?

When I heard Saviors of Sapphire Wings took place in the same world as Demon Gaze it immediately caught my attention.
Demon Gaze 1 & 2 are probably my favorite dungeon crawlers ever which is saying something since I usually don't like the genre at all. I was wondering if anyone else has played them and liked them as much as I did? The series is super niche so I would be surprised if anyone here has played them much less enjoyed them.

I played Demon Gaze 2. It was decent, but I think I prefer SoSC and the ability to determine my full party and customize my characters more.

I see what you mean. I like doing that as well but I also personally think it adds a little to it's charm. Defeating bosses in order to gain new allies with new skills to help you out gave it a kinda mega man like feel to it which felt like a breath of fresh air from the regular RPG's I had played at the time.

i love dungeon RPG's! Played but didnt beat Demon gaze 2 because i have issues with completing games, i prefer more difficult drpg's tho like stranger in sword city but also havent beaten this because i still have issues with finishing games lol. edit: you like demon gaze you should check out he mary skeltar games, i have a feeling you'd really enjoy that homie.

Oh I have! I've only played the first game (not to completion cause I also suck at finishing things lmao) but I plan to revisit the whole series eventually once I've cleared my backlog a little more. Hopefully that's sooner rather than later

i played both and liked them a lot. 1 was my favorite so far.

i play both but i can't bring myself to finish demon gaze 2....
i like the combat system tho but i prefer more mature/darker than lighthearted/adolescence-like storytelling. demon gaze 2 is too much for me.
so out of all experience games, sosc is the only one who i can say i love it
yomi wo saku hana looks like on the darker side so hype!

I loved Demon Gaze 1 and i'm in the SAME boat as you, i never finished 2 cause it was just not fun for me, i hated the preset party where it turned into a harem and all the women characters were overall better than the men, half and half ok but it was ALL of them and as a gay man i didn't want a harem party. I got like 3/4ths of the way through and was just like, yeah this isn't fun and just stopped. God Demon Gaze 1 was SOOO good though.

DG1 is really good but honestly I really enjoyed DG2 just as much. It fixed a lot of my issues with the first DG and expanded on the battle system more which felt refreshing to me. And while not being able to make your own party members was a little sad having preset ones I don't think is a bad thing either as that gives them more personality and forces you to think on your feet a little more when making teams.
Tho I will admit it was kinda weird how they leaned a little to far into the harem genre and the amount of men they had was abysmal so I could see how you wouldn't enjoy it.
Still, despite that it's still one of my fav Dungeon Crawlers ever made and I really hope they make a 3rd one someday.

I'm still baffled that this is like the only EXP games not released on PC

iirc demon gaze franchise is own by kadokawa games. kadokawa asked experience to create combat system and kadokawa made the story or smth. unlike NIS, kadokawa rarely share their games on pc so i doubt demon gaze ever come to PC.
