Review

Demon Peak is an adventure, metroidvania, platformer game. Where you need to go through different worlds and learn new skills in order to reach new areas. I love the in game speedrun UI a lot since I watched a bunch of speedruns on the Twitch channel of GamesDoneQuick. This game actually has a good story but, needs some tweaking here and there. But overall the game is quite good!

Pros:
+ I love metroidvania type of games
+ Pixel art style
+ Build in Speedrun timer
+ Good in game music

Cons:
– Quite hard to play at some points
– Quite a few small bugs

7/10 You should really try this game if you are a fan of Metroidvania like games. This game was just 4 euro on sale. I actually enjoyed playing it. It is not the most perfect game ever made but you can kill some time with it and having a good time as well!
