Enter the depths of the ancient city of Angor and prepare for battle. Form a mercenary party of adventurers, sell swords, rogue sorcerers and assassins and enlist with an army of Dwarves trying to retake their ancient homeland. Fight in a brutal campaign against goblins, undead, ratmen and the demon lords they worship.

Demons Rise is a turn-based tactical game where players must lead a party of six heroes through the bowels of an underground city. Battles are intense affairs where the proper use of terrain and cover is as important as the choice of spell or attack.

BATTLES: Fight through 35 grueling campaign levels and another 51 patrol missions.

CHARACTERS: Choose a band of six heroes from 30 playable character classes. Each class has unique strengths, weaknesses and special abilities.

REWARDS: Uncover the treasures of the old kingdom ... find gold or thousands of possible weapons, pieces of armour and artifacts. Equip them to make your heroes stronger or sell them off and buy something more fitting.

EXPERIENCE: As your heroes fight, they gain experience, level up and unlock powerful new spells and abilities.

COVER / TERRAIN: Position is key to victory. Place your heroes behind cover for protection or next to a magical shrine for extra power.

MORALE: Your heroes and their enemies may panic when they see the battle go badly or enter a berserker fury if they see an ally cut down. Form a tight battle line where your stronger heroes can lend courage to the weaker ones and use intimidation as a weapon against your foes.

ABILITIES: Wizards can launch fireballs, cast protective wards or summon powerful monsters to their aid. Illusionists can trick their enemies into switching sides or make them panic without reason. Mighty warriors can make powerful weapon strikes, become berserk or heal themselves during battle. All 30 player classes and many of the enemies you will encounter can perform such abilities and can use them to turn defeat into victory.

Demons Rise is a traditional game with NO IN-APP PURCHASES or unfair "pay to win" mechanics. Victory is earned through courage, strength and tactics and not additional spending.

* Requires an iPad 3, iPhone 5, iPad Mini 2 or higher.

Pros and cons of Demon's Rise app for iPhone and iPad

Demon's Rise app good for

controls r a bit tricky but easy once you adjust them in the settings. Love the game so far. So many characters to try. Graphics r awesome!!!

A great RPG. Really impressive graphics and gameplay. Has elements of XCOM but with the loot and character progression of Diablo. Simply loving it !!!

This is a suburb mix of old school RPG with XCOM tactics like cover. Takes a little while to get used to but its very rewarding once you do. Gameplay and strategy is great. Music is really nice too and suits the dark atmosphere well. Game is too hard though after the first quest. I had to change difficulty to easy in the options menu.

This game really gets its claws in you early and wont let go! Getting new items after each battle and being able to buy new items with your gold keeps you looking for that uber sword or armour. I love the character designs and the environments. The battles can be quite challenging. You never know when you may need to change tactics in order to adjust to the enemy attacks. Nice job Developer!

Looks great and strategy has depth to it. Few bugs to work out post release but devs are making an effort and listening to feedback so five stars for that.

Dont overlook this one! Tons of different heroes to use, very fun game!

Some bad moments

Thank you for this game. The updates are great and the game plays wonderfully. So much fun and enjoyable customization.

Its like warhammer quest with some xcom, but not a fantasy reskin, ie theres a unique morale system and hero synergy combos.

Pure tactical D n D Goodness!! It also has cool spell effects of your device can handle it. Lots of different classes to choose. Very cool!

Its not often that you stumble on a game with this much depth and transparency. It runs remarkably well for a game just released, the devs are active, and the replay potential is substantial. Very easy to recommend, and I cant wait to see how the devs optimize whats here in the coming months!

Only issue is the camera is a bit finicky. Excellent mechanics and tons of depth.

Update: Stole all my gold. Bought item in store using all my gold, $4k, leave store. Item gone, gold gone. What a waste of time!! Nice graphics and a game with good potential. Not as slow as most turned based games. However, balance issues, bad camera control, and a few bugs hold it back (pretty common with newly released games). - 3rd map, party killer (6 verses 11). 4th worse. - Casters and archers, one-shot killed, - Camera controls difficult to control/frustrating. -Bug- After tutorial, no hero control 1st quest. (Fix: exit and reload save). -needs a way to adjust inventory when out of dungeon.
