![]() ![]() ![]() I feel like I’m barely scratching the surface as to what Demeo really offers, with the wide range of cards, the different enemy types, the environmental hazards, and the collecting of treasure to purchase new cards between floors all playing a big role in how the game plays out. Get a skull, though? It can mean game over if you’re in a sticky situation… “Believe me, there’s nothing more satisfying that rolling a critical hit in the midst of a deadly encounter.” Believe me, there’s nothing more satisfying that rolling a critical hit in the midst of a deadly encounter. It’s a random element that adds an air of unpredictability to your adventures. Roll a skull? You’re going to miss and, if you’re really unlucky, might hit one of your allies too. Roll two swords? That’s a critical hit, which deals a lot more damage. The attack cards I previously mentioned bring with them a value that determines how much damage they deal, so provided you roll the dice and get a sword, you’ll land a successful attack. Then there are the dice rolls, which basically determine just how successful your attacks will be. ![]() It means you have to be careful and strategic when exploring the dungeon, with one wrong move bringing with it a horde of different enemies that can quickly wipe away your health. Have a locked room or obstacle in your way? It’ll be covered by a shadow, with no way to determine what might be lurking there. Players have a determined line of sight that only allows them to see enemies that are ahead of them. Fortunately, they won’t necessarily pursue players until they’re aware of their presence, so it is possible to evade some – sometimes it’s not worth opening a locked room for example, especially since you might not know what is in there. The enemy units are constantly lurking throughout the dungeon, with how you handle them determining how successful your run through Demeo will be. “Demeo is very flexible in its cards, with over sixty available that offer a wide berth of capabilities for players.” It is worth noting that some of these cards are class-specific though, so it’s worth playing around with each of the four until you find the one that suits you. Demeo is very flexible in its cards, with over sixty available that offer a wide berth of capabilities for players. It could be an attacking card that allows them to unleash a vicious strike across multiple tiles, it could be a healing card to recover HP, it could be a trap card to help set up defences across the dungeon, or it could even be a teleport to allow players to zip themselves from one end of the map to the other. ![]() Each player starts off with a set of cards, with each providing different actions. Fortunately, none of it is ever complicated. I know what you’re thinking: cards, enemy units, dice rolls… there’s a lot going on in Demeo. Once a player has taken their turn, it’ll either move on to other players or to the enemy units that are scattered across the dungeon, until eventually it comes around full-circle. If they land on an enemy they can perform an attack where a dice roll deems how successful it is, or if they land on an object in the environment they can interact with it – that could be a treasure chest containing an additional card, a door, or a fountain to heal all characters’ HP. Per turn, players can complete two actions, whether that’s playing one of the ability cards they have in their hand or simply moving their character. Each class brings with them their own specific playstyles, so there’s enough variety to cater for different players. Players are able to pick their hero from four different classes: the knight, the assassin, the wizard, and the ranger. “I know what you’re thinking: cards, enemy units, dice rolls… there’s a lot going on in Demeo.” The goal is to move between floors by defeating the enemy holding the key, until you eventually face off against the dungeon boss on the third floor. Demeo’s gameplay is pretty easy to grasp, with all of the action taking place over a procedurally generated tile-based dungeon. ![]()
