Book of Demons Crosses Paper Mario with Diablo

Indie studio Thing Trunk has revealed its humorous poke at the ARPG genre with Book of Demons, a forthcoming title that crosses Paper Mario with Diablo. The game is currently features in a Humble Bundle promotion for $14.99 and will be released later in 2016. To show off what Book of Demons is, the devs have released a game player trailer.

What makes Book of Demons stand out from the rest of fantasy hack & slash games are its many twists in the basic gameplay mechanics, paper cut-out graphics, unprecedented accessibility, and a dark theme intertwined with a fair dose of humor any fan of classic games should enjoy. The character system is built around a card system that supersedes and unifies items, skills, and spells. Current hack & slash games employ countless statistics that change the mechanics by a percentile in a continuous fashion. Book of Demons features multiple discrete player and monster mechanics that can be combined in a virtually infinite number of interesting ways to create near endless replayability.
