Good mornin-afternoo-vening dear viewers and today doing something a little bit

special and I'm actually playing a Kickstarter demo for a game called Dark

Devotion which is a both Souls like and a roguelike at the same time and to

think to think of it it was only a matter of time between a bit before the

two would start being combined since they're both the rope lights have been

returning to popularity recently and souls like the short leg genre is

becoming its own thing it also makes sense for the two to be a couple in such

a manner that devotion is a pixel art 2d approach to this interesting combination

of genres and it's actually the developers are seeking funding through

Kickstarter right now I think there's somewhere around the middle both in

terms of funding n as far as the this is your character by the way both in in

terms of money as well as the time that they still have to do and yeah I'm gonna

we're gonna wait for the intro cinematic sort of thing to finish as you've used

probably seen pixel art looks really nice and it looks pretty good in the

game as well the animations are very fluid the level of detail is okay I

think it could be higher but it's it's above average you you'll you'll see in

the game and it's a really it's quite a challenging motherfucker of a game I

have the have access to the demo and it is a slightly special demo than the one

you'll find on the Kickstarter page because there's the demo there's a demo

on the Kickstarter page as well the only thing is that I

have more bosses in mind which doesn't really mean a lot since the bosses tend

to kill me anyway I have managed to down one of them

barely the thing is and you'll see this when we start playing you don't actually

know which boss you're gonna get at least at least I haven't yet found at

least I haven't yet found how to perfectly tell which is which

so obviously OSS it's says it's souls like you to die quite a bit in this

portal here we'll bring you back to life a couple of things hey kitty kitty

no kneeling is a thing you will talk about as soon these two altars lit up

after I killed the first boss so most some of the features will probably

become more available as you advance to the game

this obviously means it sort of focuses on sword and shield or on nemesis for

200 I tend to use sword and shield a bit more and I think this is the cat's eye

blessing at the beginning of each each game you get some blessings that will

help you like buffs that will help you throughout your game here we kneel and

this is where you can upgrade your your general stats slash damage perforation

damage critical and loot chance critical hit and loot chances maximum stamina and

maximum faith faith is a separate receptor mechanic which you used to open

special doors you'll see what I mean this is the amount of points devotion

basically to a certain degree but so yeah I can do

I have upgraded my stamina a bit and my critical just my slash because I like to

slash a lot you can play the game with a controller I obviously can't because I

do not have a xbox controller and my third party controller just acts weirdly

thankfully the keyboard controls on this one are a bit more user friendly than

they were with the mortal planet blessing pressing F will interact with

various things and thing is around the world everyone has their own sort of

story not really they did they talk to you things I haven't yet gotten into

this particular setting idea is your any sort of a city-wide temple of sorts and

you're fighting stuff so the blessings I have now are a Google from one Idol

which is gives you a bit faster stamina region and cat's-eye less chance to hit

in the right-hand corner you can see the the the main stats these are your

initial weapons pretty much here they kind of suck and you can get a second

set momentarily nothing so initially you can only go through this door but as you

advanced the game a bit and at least as you kill one of the bosses some other

doors will open this one hasn't opened yet

but the sewer grate one will but before we check that out let me show you the

beginning stage sort of say sort of because from what I've noticed the game

has it's it also it's a Souls like but it's

also a roguelike so you can't really learn a stage there's a couple of

screens let's call them like there's a couple of stages between two doors that

will be the same those are static see this thing right here if I walk in it

will damage me so got to do that I cannot tell you how many times I've

gotten hit by that and you need to kneel so you can see what what's in store for

it down let's get in without force fight

you can kinda tell it's a it's a very dodge and hit-and-run in a sort of

affair you can carry four different types of items but there are more types

of items than four so it depends on what you pick what you choose to keep with

you so I was saying about the screens there's a couple of hard-coded let's go

there's a couple of squeeze that will always be the same in the same place

such as this one on the other hand there are several other screens that once you

get out of this one you'll get different screen on different playthroughs you'll

get a different skill that's where the roguelike elements in and usually some

of these stages have two doors that you can go out or in through so in some

circumstances I actually think you'll be visiting the same screen but from a

different direction this is a bonus and this is one of those special doors this

is a simple thing which you need to pray in front of it will take up some of the

faith but the opens access to a lever

see the door open so I could go in there thing is once you go out the door or in

a door you can go back so it's better to spend some time exploring as much of the

level as possible and getting as much of this nice experience and devotion as you

can also it increases your chances of getting some better loot here and there

it opened the door it did not move a platform though so let's see oh it also

has destroy about some of the things around the world are destroyed and

that's what that critical chance stet comes into play

the music is pretty well done for most of the game when you're just

exploring various parts of it it's that I'm guessing at a certain point the more

you explore it will slightly change but it does get much more let's say I'm in a

/ epic when you're fighting bosses or when

there's some special type of events because I've actually found a weird sort

of event at a certain point but only once

like I said roguelike ah damn it yes and that will happen more often than not but

anyway I showed you the start the actual start start yeah 30 devotion not enough

not nearly enough let's get to the old guy who gives you basic stuff hello and

let's check out the store whenever you fall you don't get help

damage get stamina stamina damage I guess this is a place where I found the

earlier I found a slight bug we'll see if it appears again easy guys

yeah they met dilly dallying if this is a farmer so you know here you can see

how many you so basically have two are one and two health and with this a nice

thing it will actually repair your arm I'm gonna wait for it that one to be

destroyed as well and then use it because it repairs your whole armor you

will return number one more shields let's call at least that's what it does

in the demo it must be seen if that's what will happen in the final game as

well this one opened but we definitely see more stuff here so let's explore

that area this sorry excuse for a Wolverine yes that TT was a crit and for

this so healing your this will cure an illness the the longer you spend in the

game not dying you will actually get usually able to get a buff and some sort

of an illness so I'm gonna try to not die as much as possible so you guys can

can see that part of the game as well which is a nice it's it's a nice add-on

this is a interesting to be here let's fire a lot oh no no no no shit okay now

I use the armor repair it

not working and sometimes just don't appreciate the distances properly and I

just got some sort of onion I have pyro phobia knees crying mentor land and I'd

read them the curse or an illness 20% slow chance that's not good so let's

just use this too because you say it says cure you

yeah it should have cured me hmm try it back there what it's again it's a it's a

demo it's to be expected to a certain degree we have a bow now I have a bow

right this is a cool bow a wooden bow alright let's open this up so we have

both leather and one of these things let's open this thing first

and let's spread this thing it will give me a special item that's what these

chests do usually I'll get two items this is a sort of a mine and this is a

torch which I'd only suggest I've tried that yeah it gives you a bit more light

but you stop having the shield which is quite useful especially when dealing

with archers which will surely see soon yeah also I apologize up front the

setter point you will hear me use some very specific words because the game can

be frustrating when you get killed and more or less a stupid fashion okay let's

go let's go back up and through that door I have I don't have any armor

repair thing is yet my health is kind of good but no one and

you can also save progress here and there you'll find both types of shrines

that will actually save your frog save your location and I recently found one

that saved both my location and my be a better and it saved my location and my

gear at the time and once I die again I'll show you that thing as well

but for now go Spike's stamina now I don't like the mischance I'm not gonna

use that although it would give me three live their life points hmm

yeah more life rags no bony cloak see and it there is even the items or dog

that the same name will randomly generate their stats Diablo edge sort of

style or all you know roguelike sort of style so even though these are the same

thing this is totally better it has six percent both slashing perforation and no

miss this one has base this one customer so yeah it would be better if I could

fix it but oh well she just miss that one all swirled so mind as 5% crit 21 a

chance 21 to 33 damage miss for perch in this this one has a

higher maximum then I usually when it comes to RPGs I have a thing I like to

use I like to have the highest minimum damage possible it's just my way of

playing because I like to know that if I'm gonna hit I do as much damage as

possible because as you can see you can also miss quite a bit oh okay so this is

one of the situations where I can't take it because I only have four things I'm

gonna try using my one again again it didn't heal shit does damage me so but I

got armor now at least and I can use a poultice so that full armor and life and

to do here you see what is take this

oh shit damn it shit damn it so that's a trap although

the good thing is that it would these traps damage your enemies as well they

just got another disease or some shit come on goodbye fucking hell

open the prison fine what the fuck first he played using this

weapon for long made me understand it scattered plus tempers I see so haven't

I haven't died and I've used this weapon a lot so now it's slightly better but I

also have internal bleeding

that's so not good let's see this place I have only one of these thingies let's

see

hello rats goodbye rat Oh

Archer shield see that's what the shield is for oh that's nice when it gets a

nice screech archers would definitely better no no no discussion no argument

there damn it come on

chillax okay so because of the disease my stamina

whenever I roll gets really low so I would need to find one of those curing

things maybe choose this one at least door opens Thunder hey not fair

no no I want to go there let's see I can get there any lung fuck yeah as

something that happens in the game as well and you know the thing the the

interesting thing that I realized while playing it because I've been playing it

a couple of hours oh I'm gonna tell you after I get killed by this boss hello

ugly a dome yes sent by the king oh I am as well as you can't relax about

that what can help with that the disease on me this is gonna be extra difficult

plus I don't know the adonus monster I know the boss and he's horns um oh shit

now his puzzle in this picture it's also eats up stamina my way yep

got hit damn it damnit

one thing about archers they also get in melee

let's see if I can use this my thing come on explore now explore now ah damn

it these guys are a bit more difficult than your average thing let's see what

did did they drop anything won't stop hemorrhaging thank you

oh this this guy's gettin yeah well that was one of the bosses I've seen a couple

more I think so now that I'm back here I got like 124 of these things and I have

plus toad now I have hand of God yeah these blessings tend to be random

also I think not sure yet but I think they ran 123 hundredths of my neck

stamina I could do this could do this a bit more damage so thing I realized

while playing this was that I first of all I take it I like the game quite a

bit but I couldn't put my hand my finger on exactly why and then I realized

because it's pixel it's pixel art it's 2d you're this lone character through an

insanely immense huge what looks like a temple or a city it's sort of a prison

you're fighting things that platforms there's traps and then it dawned on me

this is basically what a modern-day Prince of Persia would be I mean at

least the first one Prince of Persia on one so that's that's the main thing that

makes me super to predict as it kind of brings back that those those memories of

me when I was completely cause doubly younger and playing Prince of Persia the

first one so right now I'm showing you one of the places that saved both my

location and my equipment as you can see up there is a healing statue this is a

qdz statue and these are grimoires which gives you this stuff but I don't need it

now and here we have some nice items

grant strength armor and stamina and now we get to see the items I had saved

which aren't that bad this is called gives 14 and 12 % - / and / 4 + 2 Life

Points which is great gift but the sward is pretty cool it's not that good in

damage but it looks cool so now get to see another boss and the thing is since

this place this save is for the boss you can't really do anything wrong along

this path until you defeat the boss but as I've just shown you

you can continue exploring the rest of the game through the other two entryways

and there is at least another one that hasn't opened yet so it's very good the

very well design from that point of that point of view let's see the butcher

Shatterer of fish of the flesh so it's either

he just power up there I have fought the butcher til now kid got killed several

times the bosses in this game have sort of a rage timer like in Wow once they

reach half-life they turn it up a notch and this guy mm-hmm this guy has to get

does death to begin with and then you just fucking ghosts all over the goddamn

place fuck you

yes I got a double hit on that one

did I kill him oh shit nice fall defeated whoa I did not expect

to kill him ooh

now those Nessen expected the good the good way to end Oh to go between the

video actually let see what happens now

okay

no I haven't discovered all of the secrets so that was dark devotion make

sure if you like what you saw here make sure you go to their Kickstarter page

which I will link in the description and get the demo let play the demo and if

you like it seriously consider backing them because I would totally want to

play this game play the entire game maybe I'll stream it or make a

walkthrough or something like that but yeah thanks for watching and see you

next time have a nice day
