May 19, 2025Labyrinth of the Demon King from developer J.R. Hudepohl harkens back to a simpler survival horror time and recreates most of the right elements that reflect that era and genre. While it’s strong in story, atmosphere, and creepiness, it falls short with its mechanics.

May 13, 2025Labyrinth of the Demon King is a nostalgic and pummelling entry into the survival horror/dungeon crawling genre.

May 19, 2025With modern elements of roguelike games, Labyrinth of the Demon King seeks to emulate the aesthetics and feel of the classic survival horror games from the days of the first Playstation, but fails by only partially appropriating the best of their characteristics, both in the development of a shallow storyline and in the tedious gameplay that lacks purpose.
