Demon Tides is an incredibly sharp 3D platformer that follows Beebz and her crew across the vast oceans of Ragnar’s Rock. You can explore the open seas at your leasure, completing unique challenges at every structure and uncovering the myriad of secrets that have been hidden there, with some of the smoothest movement I’ve seen in a while from the genre.
Who am I?
I am a former game journalist, current game developer who wants to put a spotlight on indie games and the people who make them. I run a newsletter called Indie Dispatch which is sent out Japanese Friday evenings with 5 games I’ve found that I think you should check out for the weekend. We also have some developer interviews coming up too!
I played the prequel (at least it looks like it’s tied to this game) called Demon Turf. The animation was really interesting and the world building was cool, but the platforming itself was only okay and some of the boss battles just felt broken. Hopefully they learned from that game to make this one even better!
I never played the prequel but heard this is a lot more polished so maybe it has what you are looking for. If you do jump in let me know how it goes!
