![]() It is an ‘arcade’ of the old, direct and accessible. ![]() The main novelty is the inclusion of yokai , creatures extracted from Japanese folklore that we can invoke during the game . World of Demons is athird-person hack and slash that, in essence, is quite simple compared to other games from the Japanese studio. Basically, we have a button to attack and another to dodge, and if we dodge at the right time we will perform a special attack, in a similar way to what is seen in other of its titles. PlatinumGames has earned the title of masters of action thanks to games that have become fundamental pillars of this genre. From Vanquish to Bayonetta , going through The Wonderful 101 or Madworld (and removing some poorer titles), his track record is enviable, and the expectation that has raised his first title exclusively for Apple devices, World of Demons , is understandable . WORLD OF DEMONS ART FULLOverall, though, World of Demons is highly enjoyable, challenging, and downright creepy, at times, with its ghoulish cast of characters you'll fight with and against.PlatinumGames debuts in Apple Arcade with a very fun and entertaining game, full of action and with good ideas, but also with some errors. While there's an incredible amount of depth in the number of yokai, the upgradeable options and environments to explore, a lot of the gameplay is "rinse and repeat." Also, while there are many chapters, each with several outdoor locations, there's a lot of invisible barriers that make it look like you can walk somewhere, but you're blocked, inexplicably. The production is quite something for an Apple Arcade title. The game's cel-shaded art style is inspired by classic Japanese paintings, which is beautiful, and complimented by high-quality Japanese classical music. What's more, there are several dozen supernatural foes in total, which you can view in the Yokai Compendium (available from the main menu), including some very unusual ones that are downright creepy-looking. Eventually, you'll also cycle between samurai, each with different stats in battle. You'll also choose your load-out carefully, "enhance" your weapons and yokai (using gold and gems in the Enhance tab), study the patterns of your foes (such as when they are more vulnerable, which is your cue to strike), and earn Trophies as a reward for your hard work. While it's one on one when you first start the game, it doesn't take long to encounter large groups of nasty-looking monsters waiting to take you down. At the heart of this game is combat, which is smartly designed and smoothly executed, focusing on the timing of your offensive and defensive moves, along with when to summon creatures to inflict damage against those you're facing off against. World of Demons is well worth your time, especially because you don't have to worry about any microtransactions as you build your army of yokai to help fight the good fight. ![]() This is a really fun - and challenging - supernatural hack-and-slash that different than what else is available on Apple Arcade. Visually, World of Demons is inspired by traditional Japanese brush artwork, with stages pulled from ukiyo-e woodblock prints (an art form which flourished primarily between the 17th through 19th centuries). WORLD OF DEMONS ART UPGRADEPlus, you can find coins and gems in chests, pots, and other areas, and use them to upgrade your weapons and yokai. Players will be able to level up and choose various weapons, allies, and other items in a loud-out screen, of sorts, which adds a role-playing game-like element. Combat's played out in real-time, and you'll attempt to chain moves together to create combat attacks, evade their counter strikes, and tap on an orb in the bottom right of the screen to unleash the wrath from a fallen foe, now on your side, when it's time to call up some help from your growing army of yokai monsters. As you travel from area to area, you'll initiate combat sequences with demons big and small, including huge boss fighters, and must use your sword and other weapons, and nimble moves, to inflict as much damage as possible - before they can do the same. Tied to Japanese folklore, you'll recruit allies along the way, and even summon creatures you've defeated to help tackle tougher foes. ![]() Players assume the role of Onimaru, a young and brave samurai who embarks on on a supernatural journey to face off against the evil Shuten Doji, lord of all Oni. WORLD OF DEMONS is a single-player samurai action game playable through the Apple Arcade subscription service. ![]()
