Demon Lord: Just a Block

Demon Lord: Just a Block follows a revived Demon Lord who has been reduced to a block. To reclaim the throne, you fight, build your deck and make choices as you reunite with former subordinates, challenge the usurping Dragon Queen Heyla and uncover the truth behind your sealing. The adventure spans 7 chapters and has 3 endings.

Plan each move

Combat combines action with strategy: enemies move only after you do, giving you time to plan each dodge, parry and counterattack. You can also play quickly once you have mastered the rhythm. The controls use four directions and are designed to be usable with one hand.

Build your deck

You can wield 14 weapons, from greatswords and laser cannons to your own golden skull, each with its own upgrade path. More than 200 ability cards let you assemble builds around lightning, turrets, invincibility, shurikens and other abilities.

Breakable, changing levels

Everything you see can be broken, including environments, enemies, NPCs and treasure chests; you can smash objects, move them and put them to use. Procedurally generated levels bring new hidden rooms and events to each run. The game includes 18 room types.

Bosses and story

Each boss has its own rules and mechanics to learn and overcome. Encounters may involve ideas such as Tetris, card draws, chess or fighting your own doppelganger. The hand-drawn, colorful presentation pairs cute visuals with dark humor in a revenge story that does not take itself too seriously.

Collectibles

The game includes more than 70 enemies and bosses, along with golden skulls, tough bones, stickers, defeat-screen art and other items to collect.
