About

Players will assume the role of a samurai leading an army of yokai minions as they embark on a mission against evil. The game is set in a beautiful environment inspired by traditional Japanese artwork with gorgeous stages pulled from ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Along the way, they’ll meet samurai allies and a menagerie of yokai, each with their own techniques and combo possibilities. Players will expand their arsenal of abilities to conquer all foes that stand before them, ultimately facing the fearsome Shuten Doji, lord of all oni. Sharpen your steel as this samurai tale is about to begin.

    World of Demons proves that Platinum Games' trademark action can flourish on small phone screens. The yokai mechanics are smartly implemented, while boss battles are intense and rife with adrenaline. The camera issues can be annoying, but they're not enough to ruin the thrilling experience onscreen.

    Anyone wanting a basic hack-and-slash game with great graphics for their iOS devices can't go wrong with World of Demons on Apple Arcade, though fans should keep in mind that it falls quite short of PlatinumGames' best efforts.

    Los estilos de combate de los protagonistas y la necesaria estrategia a la hora de gestionar elementos (armas, yokais) para hacer frente a los enemigos hacen que el juego gane en opciones y profundidad con el paso de las horas. Es verdad que para una experiencia completa haciendo frente a dos dificultades superiores puede acabar quedándose corto a nivel jugable, como también es cierto que algunas decisiones con las secundarias y el bloqueo por niveles son discutibles. Pero la experiencia entra por los ojos y te atrapa con una fórmula que ya es marca registrada. Y ahora, bien planteada para móviles.

    Un arcade muy divertido, que va al grano y ofrece acción directa sin complicaciones, pero que sabe añadir complejidad si la buscamos. Eso sí, recomendamos esperar a una actualización para solucionar los problemas de la cámara.

    Unterm Strich ist das noch gute Unterhaltung, aber für Platinum Games war dieser Ausflug in die Welt von iOS scheinbar nur eine Fingerübung, die man nicht großartig polieren muss. Schade, da war mehr drin!
