After four years of development, Japanese-inspired indie publisher Top Hat Studios and solo dev Jacob R. Hudepohl have released Labyrinth of The Demon King, which is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and GOG. And yes, for those still undecided, the demo is still available for you to check out.
Set in a world authentically inspired by ancient feudal Japanese and Buddhist folklore, Labyrinth of The Demon King combines brutal, hardcore dungeon crawling with survival horror themes to create a visceral, heart-pounding experience. Utilising a grainy low-fi aesthetic (complete with a 4:3 aspect ratio!), the game has the usual inspiration from the likes of Resident Evil and Silent Hill, but also the dungeon-crawling aspects of FromSoftware’s King’s Field.
The story for Labyrinth Of The Demon King centres around Ashigaru, a footsoldier in the service of Lord Takeda Nobumitsu. The world has entered The Latter Age Of The Dharma, with society crumbling, and war, disease and famine having killed thousands. Not to mention that there are demons roaming around.
Deceived by a powerful demon king, Nobumitsu led his army into an ambush, with you being the only survivor. Against your wishes, Nobumitsu sacrificed his life to aid in your escape from the battle. You have made a vow to track down the demon who betrayed your lord and end its life. To do so, you must enter the Labyrinth Of The Demon King.
As mentioned, the game has you venturing into the eponymous Labyrinth, solving puzzles and uncovering secrets. You’ll be faced with a variety of monsters and demons, which will require you to dispatch them with a variety of melee and ranged weapons. You’ll need to be careful, as supplies are limited. Luckily, you’ll be meeting up with potential companions and allies, who have their own reasons for entering the Labyrinth.
