Play Video: Book of Demons - Collector's Content

PC Windows Mac OS Nintendo Switch

Inspired by the dark and gloomy atmosphere of the first Diablo game, Book of Demons is part tribute and part parody of the hack & slash classics.Comfort of Gameplay - Many Book of Demons features were designed with gameplay comfort in mind. Your character leaves footprints, which can be used to track your way back or notice paths already visited without opening the map.Challenging Endgame - On average, it takes about 10 hours to complete the campaign with a single class, but maxing out a character and mastering all of the higher Freeplay difficulty levels and Quests takes much longer. The Roguelike mode offers another level of challenge with permadeath, restricted healing, and even more obstacles to overcome.
