    World of Demons proves that Platinum Games' trademark action can flourish on small phone screens. The yokai mechanics are smartly implemented, while boss battles are intense and rife with adrenaline. The camera issues can be annoying, but they're not enough to ruin the thrilling experience onscreen. A Platinum Games title working well on iOS sounds like a long shot, but World of Demons is not only a fun mobile action game, but a solid title regardless of what platform it's on.

    I don't know if PlatinumGames has any further mobile titles planned, but it's certainly built itself a solid foundation for future projects with World of Demons. Its action gameplay is solid, its world striking, and it's all brought to players without most of the F2P garbage that usually stands in the way of a game's true potential.

    This once-forgotten game deserves its redemption arc. [Issue#359, p.121]

    Anyone wanting a basic hack-and-slash game with great graphics for their iOS devices can't go wrong with World of Demons on Apple Arcade, though fans should keep in mind that it falls quite short of PlatinumGames' best efforts.

    WOD is a great IOS game especially being basically $1 on apple arcade and with no need to spend anything. Its artyle is fantastic reminiscentWOD is a great IOS game especially being basically $1 on apple arcade and with no need to spend anything. Its artyle is fantastic reminiscent of okami with great locations, and fantastic painting like areas, enemies and the like. The combat is surprisingly good for an iPad / iOS game, with god combos and assists from the yokai setups and great enemy design and variety in general, letting you get special moves, and dodge and direct well with touch, a great system as expected of platinum. The story is surprisingly solid with the conflict and only really let down by the big cliffhanger ending What was that?! Sayo is best girl. Suprisingly good and underrated/ overlooked.… Full Review »
