Digital pack DEMON COLLECTION review

This week I’m reviewing not one, but four games! It’s a digital pack made by indy developer studio “DemonGames” and it’s available for purchase.  I had the pleasure of owning the pack and I’ll be reviewing all the games here.

I’ll be talking about the games then say how to get this awesome pack, so let’s start with the first game.

Demonia

In this side scrolling shooter game you are fighting in an evil cemetery that is the gate to hell and your job is to stop the evil. You only have your gun and one shot to get this mission done. It’s a classic remake that is really hard to play and master!
Everything about this game speaks eerie: The sound effects, the colors and the general atmosphere.

 

Gazzel Quest

This game takes us to ancient Egypt where you assume the role of a mighty warrior named Gazzel who is tired of fighting and wants to live a peaceful life. Much to the anger of the pharaoh who lost his best fighter so he kidnaps his lover “Salama” and puts her under lock and key. Your mission is to collect all five jewels to open the gate and free your true love. Each jewel is guarded by a demon.
It’s very similar to Knightmare yet has a unique vibe to it. For instance you get “hits” before dying while Knightmare is one hit one kill sort of game. Also the number of levels is different, and a lot of little differences for you to discover 😉

 

Knightmare

I’ve dedicated an entire blog post to this master piece, needless to say it’s the Deluxe version that has 5 playable characters including a penguin and a link like character (from the legend of Zelda series!).
Also you get more weapons than the original game like a Ninja Shuriken!
You can read my full review from here of the “Golden version”, 
All cheats work just fine in this version..

Project Xinatra

The last but not least game of the bundle. In fact I think it’s the best game. It’s a side scrolling shooter where you fight aliens as a part of a resistance movement. The graphics and overall mood of the game is very good.

 

Art and manuals

All games are shipped with game art, manuals, maps and hints, adding value to the pack and making it a collector’s item.

Important notice about the cheats

Sadly the level select doesn’t work on the standard version of the game, only the golden version so I uploaded it and it’s available for download. It was discontinued by the developers because it’s sold in a physical disk format in a very limited form. It’s worth mentioning that the package contains some original artwork as well.
However it was available for free before that and versions can be found online if you know what you are looking for. I’ve uploaded a version here.

Knightmare gold 

Even tho the gameplay is similar it has some minor differences, you get a choice of 4 characters to play with including a penguin (I wonder why?).
