EU release played via Steam on a Lenovo Y50-70.
What an utterly fantastic metroidvania. The music and atmosphere of the levels are the first things that capture you and with the wonderful creature and enemy designs, this is a hard game to put down. The jumping does take a bit of time to get used to and you will find yourself dying on multiple occasions at the same point. But Demon Peak lets you experiment, going back to previous levels to get more gold and abiities before moving forward again.
A couple technical hiccups, namely the odd screen-length line of black pixels appearing in one particular point at a level and another experience where I had closed the game but could still hear the music, forcing me to go to the Task Manager and finding it in the background processes. But other than those two minor issues I can't say there were any game-breaking bugs.
Overall, well worth the price of admission and definitely an instant favourite of the pixelated adventure genre.
