The Devil's Eight

i wish they could've finished this :(

one question: is the game dead? well, I like the demo and I will still keep playing it. mostly in streams I guess.

The game looks amazing, but I could not get past the jumping tutorial since the controls are so clunky, and I think it's because I'm using the keyboard instead of a controller. Whenever I try to switch directions, the character continues for a while in the original direction before turning, and the jumping is not high enough or responsive enough to the keyboard. I would suggest adding better support for people without controllers, or at least an option to skip the tutorial and fail miserably while still having fun.

Please help. It says that I need DX11 10.0 to run the game, and I have DX12, and I don't know what's wrong.

I have tried to play the game and it is not working.

I open the file, and it says I need DX11, but I am running DX12?

The game is very interesting and I really love the idea, but I feel something is off with this game? Like several Times when I'd hit Y right before getting hit, it just wouldn't register, and maybe Limbo has maybe too much HP? After a little while it just kinda felt boring of doing the same rythmic thing over and over. Other than that, the music sounds amazing, the art style is beautiful, the charcter design is great,  and I can't wait to see what else this game can bring to the table.  Keep up the awesome work!

I loved this demo, even if I died horribly every time. Seriously difficult, but doesn't ever feel "cheap" when you lose. Give it a try, or watch my gameplay.

I LOVED This game, was great music, and ragey bits, I cant wait for the actual game to drop, also like how it is controller compatible, not enough games are like that, this music in here though I keep returning back to it, I loved it so much haha its my own weakness, but here is a video on it, I hope you guys find it a bit funny hyuck hyuck worthy haha I am definitely rooting you guys on! keep up the good work!

I really do like what the game could become. My only issues are that there's no boss hp indicator, I can't skip the intro cutscene when fighting Limbo, and I feel like the shield recharge time is a bit slower than it should be. That aside, the game can feel different than what it is. It's a simple game, dodge and counter the enemy, but can you say bullethell? Lust, for me, was a bit of a pain, keeping track of everything, flipping from one enemy to the other, and guarding at the right times. Drove me crazy. Though I did thoroughly enjoy the pre alpha, and I can't wait until the game is finished!

played your game for a bit and it has a lot of potential!! too bad i was playing with a keyboard, because it felt a bit clunky with it. but otherwise, i liked the music and the art style. the simple "counter and dodge" mechanic is quite well too, but i feel that if it's just going to have that it should get... ummm... let's say more "decorated" with the boss. make them a bit more flashier, or maybe, add more lines to get a better backstory on them. that way you can prevent the "oh, i guess i'll just keep repeating this again" feeling once it gets stuck on a pattern, and get people hooked on "what is he going to tell me now?" instead. 

I really enjoyed this game even though I was terrible at it. I really liked the character design and overall gameplay. My only complaints are that you can't see how much health the boss has left and the menu is a bit poorly made. But I understand that this is a pre alpha so everything is subject to change. I would definetly reommend this to a friend and I can't wait for more! 

Have to share my opinion. Game looks great, but the execution and the demo have some critical flaws and it's shame that this is the only representation of the game. 

What's up with the Shield bar? I can only block once anyway. Took me a while (a minute or so) to realize I have to wait till it fills up to use it again (mostly because game doesn't tell me and  introduced me to another feature already).

Player doesn't know how much health the boss has left.

Camera sometimes snaps, looks like gimbal lock.

The menu is confusing, player doesn't know on which button he is if only 2 options are available.

You can't skip the intro with escape/space/enter/start button.

Music got repetitive pretty fast like that.

Really tried to give the game some chances, but the above critics made me give up pretty fast. Again, I feel it's a shame, because the game looks like it has a lot of potential, but kids are spoiled these days and the demo should be smooth as silk.
