Hooked Gamers Demon War review

[Shadow]

We have another good review of Din's Curse: Demon War over on Hooked Gamers. They gave it an 8.4. Quote: What I particularly enjoy about Din’s Curse is the feeling of constant peril caused by traps in each dungeon and the constantly evolving world which can see any number of events randomly occurring at any time.

Again, a nice read. Good question though; why is there no blood? Some severed limbs and blood splatters would do wonders for immersion.

For the most part we've always aimed towards a teen type of rating. Body parts and too much blood tends to get you knocked up to a mature rating pretty quickly.

Thanks for posting the review

I must say that I was never thrown out of the immersion of the game by thinking "not enough body parts flying, this is not right"

What breaks the immersion of the game more than anything is trying to figure out where the *&^% creature is that is attacking my town, such a little town and sooo hard to find when you'd think in "real life" it'd be obvious which way they are That is one of the situations where i break from game playing and start thinking of the developers (in non elogious terms when a NPC dies due to my incapacity of finding a huge monster in a 4x4 house town... all in all not a big gripe)

If you look at the NPCs in the town, they will generally turn to face the direction there is fighting

this is one of these "doh" moments. Thanks.

Picking my way through these forums reading up I dont think I am always playing the same game - screenshots show things I have never seen (could be mods) and someone mentioned a town armory etc.

Will read and search and experiment - but think I made my life difficult with an archer...

There is a town armory. Talk to the Warmaster then press the "equipment" button. The townsfolk can wear chest armor, gloves, boots, and leggings that are made of either cloth or leather. If you deposit any non-cursed items of that type into the armory box, the Warmaster will give the equipment to an NPC (he keeps the best stuff for himself) and will help protect them in town invasions. If you deposit an item they can't wear or a weapon into the armory, it gets converted to cash and placed in the lottery fund, where hopefully some poverty-stricken townie will win it.

There's also a help site (I created) to help new players. There are sections giving hints (like the townies facing the attacking monsters) and much more. There is a lot of information there to help make playing the game more fun. The site is here:
