Mountain Oni that are both vicious and cunning, Kappa that guard the rivers and waterways, Kitsune that take the shapes of mankind and trick them, and more – all together make an amazing backdrop for a world! !And we are more than just interested in the ideas of some of these Yokai as things just for the player to battle, we want to present a bunch of the Yokai lore as well!) Part 1: Japanese legends notably have a huge amount of lore that’s just ripe for a world, notably – the Yokai. The only real forces now that have any chance against the demons are roaming Demon Hunters… though quite often, they are more interested in payment rather than helping out of kindness… The setting: Demon Legend takes place in a world after the Demon King has mysteriously breached the veil of the world from beyond: humanity has been forced into hiding, and resistance to the Demon invasion has seemingly been futile at best. It features character swapping with a party of four Demon Hunters (originally inspired by Castlevania 3, see the recent Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon for a sort of recent take that’s also been inspiring to us!), fast action and movement originally inspired by Ninja Gaiden and various other games (dashing/backdashing, grappling hooks, combo movement canceling, slides, and most importantly, character movement swapping combinations), and a rich narrative experience. The game: Demon Legend is a retro action platformer set in a Yokai apocalypse, and features many Japanese legends / Yokai, with an effort to remain true to the lore of many of them.

Since the SAGE site is, well, probably down and all, you can grab the demo here too! May as well keep this short though… Demon Legend has a new demo build (and is featured in this years SAGE!) Heyas everyone, what a year its been, wow.
