Demonic Supremacy

I get a lot of junk thrown at me in my curator. Not always, Crytek sent me a coupon for their Warface game once. But a lot of times its just “Hey, play my game” and its just some kind of bouncy woohoo game or some kind of phone game with mouse support. I end up rejecting a lot of them because of it. Demonic Supremacy caught my eye because the developer note that came with the curator request seemed genuine, like it was typed by hand rather than copy pasted. I looked at the game, watched the trailer, and thought. “Sure, I'll play the first ten level or for an hour and then give my two cents for whatever that's worth.
Demonic Supremacy is a first person arena survival shooter developed by Chilidog Interactive, an independent developer and publisher with little to no info. Their website only shows me what other games they published, but other than that, I can't really get a bead on these guys, I don't know how many people work under the label or where they're even from. But they seem to focus entirely on independent developers, so that's cool.
You play as the Chosen One. Every 3481 years, a demonic tower erupts on the planet and someone is chosen to enter and fight the evil inside, at least that's what I concluded. The picture where you turn into the Demi-demon is kind of funny, because there's this dude floating in the air completely enveloped in flames, and the people in the background just continue walking down the road like “Man, I got work tomorrow.”
The game starts after a mandatory tutorial that shows you the mechanics of the game. It also shows you what weapon does what, which seems pretty pointless, I can kind of figure on my own what a shotgun or a grenade launcher does. There's no real experimentation because of this, and the tutorial is a bit too long for my liking. I would just the option to skip it entirely and let people figure it out on their own if they want to.
The game is inspired by games like Serious Sam and Pain Killer. Each mission has you enter an arena of various sizes and shapes with your job of staying alive and killing the demons that spawn in. There are bosses in the game to spruce things up a bit, but for almost 50 levels you're just kind of shooting demons or pushing them away with your demon roar.
Each demon killed drops coins that you can use for power ups for the next mission, sometimes power ups show up during the mission, but this is more rare. I just summed up the entire game, you run around, shoot, complete the mission, and then move on.
You know how there are some indie games that look like one of those games you see in the background of a TV show? Well, this isn't even that, this is like a game you see in an early season of the show “Reboot” from the 90s.
Please stop reminding me that I'm old, game.
Its not a bad game, it tells you what its about on the store page, so you know what you're getting into. Its just not something I would want to play from start to finish. If you're looking for a cheap time killer, then you have about 6 hours of content to go through.
But they sent me this game specifically to tell them what I think. So--
First, I would get rid of the motion blur effect on the dash, and maybe extend it for a bit. As it is, it works, but it looks and feels like it doesn't. I would get rid of the spring key as well and just have that be your default running speed, its tied to a stamina system, but all it does from what I could tell is remove your ability to dash when its empty, so you're still running at sprinting speed even without stamina.
I would give the demon roar more utility and range, if that's possible. The first boss will unscrew pillars from the ground and chuck them at you. I died thinking I could launch that back at him with my demon roar. Its completely on me, yeah, but its an idea.
Like I said earlier, make the tutorial optional. Also, the game kind of deleted my save file and I don't know why, so that's why I'm writing this review so early.
I'm not seeing this game competing with other games in the genre. But if you just want to support a small developer, then there are worse ways to do it. The music is also pretty good, there's one song that sounds like something from the War of the Worlds CD, but I don't know what the song is called.
Demonic Supremacy gets a “I don't know how to score this, I never had to do this before” out of 10.
I like the loading screen art. That's my fun fact for this review.

First off this is not your typical shooter it's an arcade type, if you are bored and looking to past the time it's fun to play for an hour or two. It has the old school doom vibe to it not a bad game but something that you will play off and on and not all the time.

It's like Serious Sam and Doom Guy had a baby and BOOM! It's a Demonic Supremacy! Really good gameplay, visuals, and Music! Reminiscent of Doom music and I vibe with it! 10/10

Retro FPS + 50 lvls + heavy metal = Monster packed lvls with non stop shooting. Challenging with multiple weapons but limited ammo for each stage. You can also dash to avoid being hit.

Difficulty definitely has some random spikes but overall a solid arena-style shooter!

The music is enough for me. 8/10

It's pretty good for $6.99, nice game.
