Dark Devotion is a two-dimensional action game by French team Hibernian Workshop. Production takes us to the gloomy fantasy land, ruled by omnipotent church. Players control the warrior trained by the religious order, sent on a mission to purify the cursed temple. During the game we deal mainly with exploration, solving puzzles and most of all fighting.
Dark Devotion, released on PC, PS4 and XONE, is an action game enriched with RPG elements. The production was developed by the French studio Hibernian Workshop.
The action of Dark Devotion is set in dark fantasy land, where the Church rules over the whole humanity through terror. We play the role of a young warrior of one of the religious orders, sent with the mission to explore a gloomy temple controlled by demonic forces, which for centuries has been a place where daredevils can prove the strength of their faith and show that they are worthy of salvation.
At first glance, Dark Devotion may look like a platformer, however, it is a 2D action game with RPG elements. Our character cannot jump. Instead, we can only move to the right or left side of the screen and use ladders. We spend most of our time on exploration, avoiding traps, solving puzzles and, most importantly, on combat.
The combat system is relatively simple, but the clashes themselves aren't easy, meaning that death of the character isn't rare. Our hero can fight with a variety of melee weapons (including swords, axes, and scythes) and a bow, perform dodges and use a shield to block enemy attacks. Over time, we also learn a few spells. All movements are performed relatively slowly, so you have to find the right moment to attack and predict the moves of your enemies.
Faith plays an important role in the game. It is represented by a special bar, which we fill up by killing enemies. We spend it during prayers that activate magical objects, such as locks in some doors or statues healing us from infections. Character development is realized mainly through different armors and weapons. We can upgrade them at by the blacksmith, whose headquarters is located in one of the few safe places in the temple.

Game Ratings for Dark Devotion Video Game.
PlayStation Universe: 8 / 10 by Seb Hawden
Dark Devotion has parts that are inspired by great titles of the last few years. It's part Dark Souls, part Dead Cells but it does have a few things that will separate it from the titles that inspire it. Yes, it is not as good as either of those titles but we are talking about two of the best titles in their respected genres. It is, however, rewarding, well made and well worth your time and effort.
Screen Rant: 4 / 5 by Phillip Tinner
Dark Devotion is an innovative indie that is excellent in all but one area.
GamingTrend: 75 / 100 by Codi Spence
Dark Devotion is a 2D action game that focuses on combat and exploration. With a variety of weapons and items, foes, and branching pathways, you'll have plenty to fight with and experience. Some enemies, especially certain bosses, are frustrating and may have you considering throwing your controller. Even so, succeeding feels rewarding.
