It definitely isn’t a strong suit, but to be fair that isn’t why you’re here. Platforming is a feature of this title as you could imagine would be necessary with the 2D prospective. You just have a pretty straightforward action game with adventure and platforming traits. The deep lore that is customary to Souls-likes is lost on this title as well, as nothing with deep complexity will blow your mind from just reading a weapon description. As Blasphemous goes headfirst into the weird first offered by the Souls games, Dark Devotion takes a step back with a story path and characters that are definitely more imaginable than the things you will see in Anor Londo or Lost Izalith. The religious tones presented in this story are very similar to another recent Switch release, Blasphemous, that also creates a spin on the Dark Souls formula.
You are on a pilgrimage, of sorts, and this dark tale spins into a black hole of enemies that are all of a path to stop you in your tracks. You are travelling through an old, decrepit temple and you must get to the very bowels of this gothic beast where you will discovery things beyond your wild dreams. Devotion and sacrifice are the name of the game in your order, and the bigger the sacrifice the closer you get to said god. You are a Templar and it is your duty to put your neck on the line for your god. Does this one hold up to the competition that has been created up until this point? Well - prepare to die. Much like games like Salt & Sanctuary it adds all of the difficulty and slow, plodding action, but goes for a more pixelated graphical style.
Dark Devotion is one such title coming out of the indie space and offers a 2D side-scrolling alternative to the basic action-adventure formula. With all of this said you have a gameplay style that has become iconic to the gaming world, and we are lucky enough to have a ton of examples and fresh takes on the newly minted genre in its short time in existence. It turns out people really like being punished repeatedly in video games to the point of frustration, screaming, crying, etc. The Souls-like category has rapidly expanded due to the amazing success of the Dark Souls series.
