Welcome to the Demonizer demo! Demonizer was born from a love of pixel-age shmups and female fantasy characters, and aims to capture the twitchy fast close-quarters bullet battles in the arcades at that time. I also thought "What if all those fantasy monsters just got a bad rep for defending themselves from adventurers?" and decided to show the other side of a typical monster hunt. In Level 1 take on the kingdom army invading your homeland. You'll meet the common enemy troops and have a chance to build up your demon party and your power level.
As your power grows you inspire your turned companions to go on the offensive, harvesting more hearts and then engaging the enemy themselves. But they can get hurt doing so, so when things look too hairy, keep them safely in formation with the focus fire button. In Level 2 take the fight back to the kingdom starting with the peasant village and their lord. If you can get here with full power this is the place to let it rip!
Afterwards try Hard or Demonic difficulty if you feel brave. There's also a small silly drunk minigame I made for a game jam. If you enjoyed this demo, look forward to five more levels in the complete game. The target date is Friday, October 30. Hope to see you then.
