Many of you asked my opinion about the demo of Stranger Of Paradise, so I decide that today I give it a try and write a short review. Your feedback is welcome!
Note: This is a review of the demo and can drastically change in the final (hehe) product.
Story: There is not much to say right now. The demo doesn't have a real story beside the famous "Chaos" talking and the confrontation with him (or not) at the end. The cringy trash talk from the 3 characters doesn't provide much to the story also...
Gameplay: Players of Nioh will be familiar with the controls and the fighting system. For me, it was pretty overloaded in the beginning and triggering of some skill and especially healing items were too delayed, leading to death.. Luckily i found the another button layout which was better suiting me. The companions were pretty useless and in many situations were just standing around. The only light were the customization and classes.
Graphics: The graphics are probably the biggest letdown for a game that was announced to be released next year. It honestly reminds me of Devil May Cry games from the late PS2 generation. I can just hope that the demo is based on an alpha and a loooot of polish will happen before the full release.
Music: Oh boy! I am a big fan of the FF music. I read feedback from many people how great the music in the demo is. My opinion is.. I didn't like it at all. The music was badly mixed and became tedious pretty quickly (not a good sign for a FF game where you listen to the music for hours)
Verdict: After 2 playthroughs (normal and hard) There are way too many issues for now. It just simply feels like another game that just got a FF skin in the form of few monsters and classes.
Did you have the chance to play the Demo? What is your opinion?
