***

You are no hero … no prancing knight or scholarly wizard but a champion of the dark gods. As their chosen, you have command of legions of barbarians, beastmen and demons. Wield unholy strength, necromancy and hellfire to bring ruin to the civilized realms. Honor your gods on the bloody fields of battle in a quest for power and ascension.

Demon’s Rise 2 is a turn-based, tactical RPG set in a brutal and unforgiving fantasy world. Taking place amidst a horrific war in the cold north, the campaign will see your party fight innumerable enemies, huge monsters and powerful sorcerers. Victory will require the tactical use of terrain, morale, formations and magic. Build an increasingly powerful war band, command demonic allies, and crush those that stand against you.

•	Tactical Choices: Use terrain effects, cover and line of sight to gain an edge over your enemies. Employ spells to hinder powerful enemies, area effect damage to clear the field of lesser foes and buffs to strengthen your allies.
  
•	Build Your Party: Choose from 24 diverse character classes to build your war band. Your warriors will improve with every victory, becoming stronger and unlocking new powers and skills. Acts of courage and savagery on the battlefield will bring favor from your gods, which can mean the difference between glory and defeat.

•	Collect Gear: Equip your warriors with powerful weapons, arcane objects, runic armor and legendary artifacts. There are thousands of items to find and collect, each with their own stat effects and background lore.

•	Campaign: Fight through a lengthy campaign and numerous side quests that span more than 80 hours of play time. No level caps and the ability to replay levels at a harder difficulty add to the longevity.

•	Engaging Lore: Immerse yourself in the history of Tarren, the world of Demon’s Rise. A land of broken empires and shattered kingdoms where armies of humans, demons and other races fight for bitter survival.

### 2/5 — Updates

*2025-01-08, version 3.0*

Will this game get anymore content updates….or not? There is still a 25th character class that has not made it over to this port yet.

### 5/5 — Great game but…

*2023-08-12, version 3.0*

I love this very good game but the iPhone 11 Notch hinders the visualization of the items in the store, there could be an option in the game to change the side of the screen orientation! Other than that, the game is great!

### 1/5 — The worst

*2022-11-22, version 3.0*

Slow stupid and wrong for iPhone. 
Plus it’s all about being evil. 
I hate it and want my money back

### 2/5 — There’s a problem

*2021-07-06, version 3.0*

The game crashes every time it tries to load the sixth campaign level.

### 1/5 — Crashes on startup

*2020-12-22, version 3.0*

Shuts down at 90% load time

### 5/5 — Very good

*2020-04-08, version 2.1*

For those who likes rpg, it is a good game. If could have PVP and more diferent adventures,  and a litle bit more faster. The shop could be more organized.

With you guys launch another one please let me know.

### 5/5 — Best RPG I’ve played on iOS

*2019-12-14, version 2.1*

Plays like XCOM transposed to a fantasy world. Tense strategic turn-based battles, amazing graphics and an atmospheric soundtrack. Every battle brings fresh challenges - it never feels repetitive. It really is my favourite RPG on iOS, pretty impressive achievement for an indie developer.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this. It is a waste.

*2019-03-12, version 2.1*

I’ll never get back the few hours I wasted on Wavelight Games. The developers should be ashamed of themselves. I’m a fool for buying this.

### 4/5 — Можно обнову?👌

*2019-01-13, version 2.1*

Чтоб можно было биться со своими сохранениями (команд по шесть персонажей разных, СВОИХ (важно подметить) сохранений)? 
А в целом игра интересная, но однообразная. После прохождения компании, нечего делать. А проходить одну и туже компанию с разным набором героев не интересно!
Другое дело играть в режиме с рандомной генерацией героев, выставляемой по уровню сложности. 
Или хотя бы сделали мультиплеер, в который ни кто бы не играл, но хоть какое-то развитие, после прохождения КОРОТКОЙ компании.
Люблю и целую человека, который придумал TBR со стороны хаоса (порядок уже надоел и я давно хотел попробовать себя в роле плохиша)) ), но вышеперечисленные «недочеты», не дают мне возможности поставить 5 из 5 😞😞. 

Но все равно, спасибо!!! 
😊😍🥰❤️👍🏻✨👌💜

### 5/5 — Way underrated

*2018-08-01, version 2.1*

These demon rise games beat almost every other tbs game. Freemium, one time, and one time with in app purchases.

If you min/max you will have to raise the difficulty as your party gets incredibly strong once you’ve got ability point generation and damage for auto attackers. 

But the story is ok. The champions are great and you know what you’re getting.

You’ll get about 10 hours out of this if you grind, which is not necessary for normal difficulty. But it’s a good 10 hours with replay ability. It’s not FF tactics but there’s only one game in the App Store that is, that’s more expensive and most of us have already owned it twice.

Highly recommend and will keep looking for Demons Rise 3 or other titles. I know there’s a new one and I didn’t fancy the way it looked, but having playing this again I’m going to take another look
