Our take on Demon Strikes Back
The defining loop connects combat to village recovery: defeated enemies provide souls for rebuilding, and the village’s restored prosperity reveals more skills.
What is Demon Strikes Back?

Fight different enemies and take their weapons, equipment, relics, and souls. Use collected souls to restore a destroyed village, with its recovery opening additional skill choices. Weapons and equipment can carry magical skills and distinct attack moves, while relics grant different character traits.
