About Dark Devotion

About this game

Explore the secrets of a mysterious fallen temple and put your Templar faith to the test in Dark Devotion, where no sacrifice is too great in praise of your God. Measure your devotion and your bravery by journeying into the deepest darkness for answers to questions that will challenge your very existence.

Dark Devotion features a richly detailed, immersive narrative that unfolds a somber tale of your Templar religion’s irresistible calling. Every encounter challenges your fortitude, piety, and conviction as you move deeper into your cursed pilgrimage. Spanning four unique worlds, each with their own incredibly detailed environments, you’ll wield dozens of weapons in your quest to discover the Temple’s secret: all the while assailed by dark enemies and devious bosses whose core mission is to destroy your soul and damn you forever.

Throughout Dark Devotion you’ll discover an array of weapons, armors, and relics with which to enhance your character. Each item has its own attributes and statistics and is customizable with mystical runes. It is essential that you maximize your strengths and adapt your inventory to the enemy you’re facing. Choose wisely...

Dark Devotion is a story of perseverance, dedication, and secrets. Every chest you open, every item you encounter holds another piece of the story: be it a letter, weapon, or clue, all will help you on your quest. Whether you find these secrets amongst the shadows or in the dead hand of another character ...well, that all depends.

In the Temple, Faith is your only recourse against the heathen droves. Defeat them to collect Faith and unlock secret paths, special chests, and more. But remember to use your Faith sparingly. Nothing lasts forever.

The Temple yearns to see you dead. Your survival depends on using the right item at the right time to heal your wounds or dispel a curse. Some of these items can be looted, others are scattered throughout the Temple in secret places. Employ them wisely… your life depends on it.

The eye of your God is ever-watchful. Complete an act of bravery or skill, and your God might bless you. But the Temple is also rife with despair and sickness, ready to destroy those who lack courage and temperance. Learn quickly its ways, or suffer.

Salvation is fleeting, so choose your route wisely. Every world in Dark Devotion offers several different paths. Each one is original, but all are interconnected, and the only commonality they share is that there is no turning back.

Completing your quest requires shrewd interpretation of the secrets shrouded within the Temple. It’s easy to get lost, though this might bring you favor...depending on the secret you uncover. Perhaps the Temple will reveal a hidden altar where one’s story can be saved if one honors the Temple appropriately...or perhaps not.

FOR AQUIRED TASTES - DO RESEARCH FIRST!
Verified purchase
Picked this up because I've been on a Metroidvania fix, and this looked like Moon Scars and Blasphemous. But it is a more niche game than those. First and for most - there is no jumping, just climbing ladders and dropping down to lower platforms - so here's a good idea what you're up against. Gameplay is solid, but I still have a hard time trying to adjust using the A button to switch between sword/stance and bow/arrow stance wile Right Trigger attacks.

A wonderful game and by far the best 2D soulslike I've played it. It just gets everything right: the bleak and foreboding atmosphere, the line-up of great and memorable bosses, the interconnected world, the tension of exploring and area for the first time and desperately looking for the next checkpoint... It's all great.

I have a dark devotion to this game. The gameplay makes sense, the art is beautiful, the sounds and music fitting. While this game is hard, having a good run (it's a rogue-like) is incredibly satisfying and rewarding. This is a souls-like, rogue-like - but it does all these things very well, and never feels like it's just trying to fit a niche. Quality game, give it a go.

I had considerable problems with graphic, audio, and control settings. I couldn't use a gamepad at all due to completely misregistered inputs and lockups. This game is not well optimized for the PC. If you are a fan of metroidvanias and like dark vibes, and prefer playing platformers with a keyboard and mouse, this game might be a good fit. Otherwise, don't bother.
