Labyrinth Of The Demon King

 
Patch Notes (Post-Launch 1.01)May 20, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHi all, as discussed within our initial post-launch update post, a new post-launch patch is now live for Labyrinth of the Demon King. Just to reiterate, the changes in this patch are: Added framerate cap options (and warning popup that some behaviour may be unpredictable at very high frame rates) Disabled torch being unequipped when entering an exterior cell Using the quick equip torch button will now equip the lantern if the player has purchased it Fixed error where placeholder language names were used instead of official translated terms Fixed spelling error in Kings Court Puzzle Fixed issue where status effects would display “{Amout}” instead of the number for stack amounts for certain languages We hope this improves the experience within the Labyrinth of the Demon King. We're working on other reported issues and are still collecting some initial points of feedback, so stay tuned for more. Thank you for all the support so far!A week after launch, my new favorite gungy, Condemned-style horror-brawler has its first patch and the promise of yokai-punching spiked knuckles on the wayMay 19, 2025 - PC GamerSurvival horror dungeon crawler Labyrinth of the Demon King is neck-and-neck with Avowed and Oblivion Remastered as my personal game of the year so far, which I absolutely did not expect when I loaded it up on my Steam Deck before a flight (I ended up playing it all five hours). But even more surprising is that its small development team is already promising new additions just a week after launch...

Thank you all again for your support for during development; it feels unreal that the game is finally releasing.Labyrinth of the Demon King reviewMay 13, 2025 - PC GamerLabyrinth of the Demon King is a cruel, miserable dungeon crawler set in a collapsing feudal Japan. I'm a lowly foot soldier, or ashigaru, seeking to avenge the murder of my lord and his army at the hands of the demon king. As you can imagine, the odds are hopelessly stacked against me. My katana is broken, I tire easily, and the labyrinth I'm forced to navigate is the most depressing and confusing entanglement of narrow halls and non-descript rooms I've visited since the PS1 era. Not to mention that the demon king is openly mocking me with his arcane puzzles and repulsive yokai... Read more.JUST 24 HOURS REMAIN UNTIL LAUNCHMay 12, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone!

We are all working as hard as possible to ensure that the game will be as fantastic as possible for everyone.

With that said, we did want to answer the big burning question - when WILL the game launch? We cannot give specifics yet (at least today...), but are happy to say that the game will be released before summer of this year. We are currently content complete, so we are currently implementing player feedback from the NextFest as well as finalizing internal QA, localization, and testing. We are happy to say we will have final news in April announcing more specific information. Please stay tuned! Once again, we cannot thank everyone enough for their support here.
