Here’s a rundown on the game:
What is Demon Gaze EXTRA?
Since its release in Japan in 2013 and overseas in 2014, the original dungeon RPG DEMON GAZE was an instant hit.
The game takes place in the Misrid region in the west, a land now desolate and cursed due to a terrible tragedy that occurred long ago. After losing his memory and waking up at the Dragon Inn, the protagonist becomes a bounty hunter using the Demon Gaze, an eye that controls Demons. As a Demon Gazer, he is uniquely capable of taking on the Demons that dwell in the region’s labyrinths.
With its innovative system, engrossing storyline and thrilling challenges, DEMON GAZE EXTRA retains its original flavor while adding enhanced graphics and a number of new elements for an even greater gameplay experience.
This gem is guaranteed to delight past Demon Gazers, as well as new fans of dungeon RPGs!
In EXTRA, a Wide Variety of Labyrinths (Dungeons) Awaits!
The game takes place in the Misrid region, where there are many unique labyrinths above ground, underground, and even underwater. Remastered graphics give dungeon-crawling a more realistic feel!
The Dragon Inn: Bounty Hunter HQ
When the hero returns from a labyrinth, he is greeted at the Dragon Inn by a group of characters, all with unique personalities. The atmosphere here is cheerful, fun, and sometimes even serious.
Use the Demon Gaze to hunt down android-like lifeforms known as Demons!
Demons are android-like creatures that suddenly appeared in Misrid, and when they unleash their true power, they reveal even more vicious abilities.
If you defeat these masters of the labyrinths, you will gain abilities unique to each Demon’s personality. You can also use the Open Demon command to summon them to participate in battle.All-New Gameplay Enhancements and Add-Ons!
