Hi, as the title said: is thjere a demo available to test the game before i buy?

Thanks

I'd be interested in that myself. You can never tell with these isometric dungeon romps.

From what i've heard the game is ok but the boulder puzzles is the dealbreaker as the controls are actually worse than Diablo 3 and you make a mistake the quest cannot be completed without backtracking on a save.

it aint that good

Game is very good, the few simple puzzles I've seen so far only require basic hand eye coordination and the controls are more than good enough.. no demo that I know of though.

Buy it on Steam and if you play less than 2 hours and dont like it Steam will issue a refund.

Just remember that it is unlikely that in Steam's two hours limit you will experience the annoying part of the game, the boulder puzzles. I would guess the first one is at about two to three hours in.

Watch Youtube videos for that, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipu0MwGlM-o
My thoughts were: You must be kidding me, it cannot be that annoying as shown in this video.

It is.

I really likle some of the ideas the devs had, although I would not say they learned from the weaknesses of Diablo.

LOL why they thought that would be a good idea is anybodys guess but it would've helped if you could still see the boulder you are trying to control :P

Ok, forgot to add you do need a tiny little bit of intelligence as well as hand to eye coordination, which would have been useful to the guy in the video (and the one posting said video I guess?) in order to realize that switching to demon form f*cking STOPS TIME.

Not sure it's intelligence that is needed. Just read the reviews. Many people are pissed at the boulder puzzles in general it's just that one needed specific timing ;)

Well I ended up buying it anyway, and am really enjoying it so far. When I DO get to the boulders, I hope I can handle them properly.

Dude, the stop time thing is signposted and explained several times, with simple application examples, throughout the starting hours of the game. It's really not hard at all to figure out and it (obviously) trivializes most puzzle timing requirements.

Also according to Steam the reviews after the last patch are very positive, there's only a minority of complainers. Do we need to dumb down every single game to appease them? ;)

Not all boulder puzzles could be solved with the stop time mechanic could they?

[GodSlayer]

in my personal opinion... it is good but lack of rewarding as you progress the game.. go play this if you dont have any games or backlogs..

Personally I don't like time sensitive puzzles.
But the demon form stops time.
That puzzle would be alot easier if you had switched to the demon form a coupla times

[Kmany]

So is this the puzzle all the fuss is about?
Oh good then.. already went past that one a while ago..
