Demonlisher is awesome.

Forget the Steam reviews. Most of them are bitter because this isn’t the game those folks wanted.

It’s basically a Pac-Man clone from 2004, but one of the most unique I’ve played. Better way to put it: Demonlisher is what you get if Hexen became Pac-Man.

You’re a wizard running through different dungeons, collecting souls to save. Meanwhile, demon hordes chase you down, and you have to kill them.

It has all the usual maze-game stuff: power-ups, bonuses. But also a bunch of clever traps.

Not everyone likes the graphics. I do. I spent a ton of my youth playing low-poly 3D shareware from random corners of the web (anyone remember TuCows?). Demonlisher feels like that genuine old-school deal.

I wish more games like this worked on modern PCs and showed up on Steam.

Yeah, Demonlisher is awesome. Sometimes Steam reviews just get it wrong.
