Book of Demons Gameplay - Hack and Slash Nostalgia!

Bringing epic fantasy RPG combat to a world of folded paper is a lot more fun than it sounds, believe me.  Book of Demons is an epic isometric hack and slash with serious replay value thanks to the procedurally generated dungeon system.

Both an excellent parody and fitting tribute to the old diablo games, Book of Demons has some incredibly well thought out features including the flexiscope system that allows you to set the length of each quest based on how long you have to play.

Even if you aren’t blown away by the stunning art design of Book of Demons, you’re bound to be gripped by the fantastic writing and brilliant fast paced gameplay.
