Developer Yal and publisher Degica are proud to bring last year’s Indie Game Maker Contest winner (1st prize, non-RPG), Daemon Detective: Gaiden, to Steam today for Windows PC. Daemon Detective: Gaiden, or DDG for short, is a retro action platformer that blends some of the most beloved mechanics from games such as Castlevania, Mario Bros. and Ninja Gaiden to create the vibrant and action packed town of New Magma City. Join Yal as he hunts down 120 stolen paintings in a town filled with dangerous creatures.
Dodge the carnage! Whack the daemons! Grab the paintings!
Daemon Detective Gaiden is an action platformer game where your mission doesn’t only consist of beating up everything. Pressing forward in one piece is just the beginning — your mission isn’t complete before you’ve tracked down every single stolen painting! With a whopping 120 of them on the loose, you’re gonna need every single bit of your wits and every single power-up you can carry. Do you have what it takes to become a Daemon Detective?
Features
- Venture through eight distinct, hazardous worlds with unique challenges!
- Unlock the secret areas for even greater challenges – if you have the guts to take them on!
- Four different playable characters with different pros and cons – makes every play through different both in game play and dialogue!
