Its action gameplay is solid, its world striking, and it’s all brought to players without most of the F2P garbage that usually stands in the way of a game’s true potential.Forsaken World: Gods and Demons is an fantasy RPG of grand proportions. I don’t know if PlatinumGames has any further mobile titles planned, but it’s certainly built itself a solid foundation for future projects with World of Demons.


It’s certainly fun, but with the amount of grinding you need to do to level up your various weapons and minions, it’s more bite-sized fun rather than sink-your-whole-weekend-into-it fun. While you certainly can do that, building up your rank to unlock more of the serviceable story, it’s probably best to treat the game as if it were still a free-to-play title and back off it if you ever start to feel the gameplay growing tedious. World of Demons is really not the type of game that should be muscled through. I got really good at the game early into my playtime but found it less and less exhilarating the longer I’d play it. You can equip two minions to each of the playable characters, and if you pick up an orb of one of your equipped yokai on the battlefield, you have the opportunity for a unique attack that can deal an absurd amount of damage. When you complete a level, you’ll have a chance of adding any of the yokai you defeat to your permanent stable as a minion, and this includes boss characters. Some are a little more hands-on, such as Ushi-oni, which not only requires perfect placement for maximum effect, but asks you to button mash while also making sure you’re dodging any attacks from opponents not caught up in its fire. For instance, the Kappa, which is the first yokai you’ll encounter, will automatically smack your opponent with a water attack. Defeated yokai will drop orbs that can be picked up and used in battle as a one-time-use special attack.

Unique to World of Demons is its yokai-collecting mechanic. Mix those two together, and you’ll be able to create some devastating combos. The game uses a single action button that can be mashed for light melee attacks, or held down for stronger swings. Like with other Platinum titles, these fights against the waves of exquisitely designed yokai are restricted to a small circle that you’ll hop and dodge around as you chain together attacks to score to coveted “S” rankings. Onimaru’s journey will take him through beautifully cell-shaded linear stages where most fights are telegraphed in advance, so you’re never taken by surprise. Don’t come into World of Demons expecting Nier: Automata on your phone.
