Demon's Mirror Reviews
Demon's Mirror is a seriously clever Roguelike deck builder that blends cards and gems to create a wonderful if slightly overwhelming game.
Demon's Mirror is a wonderfully refreshing take on the whole deckbuilding genre, and well worth a look if you want something that genuinely feels new. If you've never played one of these before, however, then it's probably going to feel pretty tough to begin with, but it'll be worth it.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by Demon’s Mirror. Whether you’re a hardcore deck-builder fan, or just a casual gamer looking for a fun experience, this game will not disappoint. The combat mechanics are immensely diverse and one could easily sink hours upon hours replaying runs. The game also comes with masterful art direction that is just clean and beautiful all around. Demon’s Mirror is a bit short, but it never overextends itself, which ultimately leaves the player wanting more. Be-Rad Entertainment has done a great job with this game and has certainly set itself up to expand upon it.
Demon's Mirror is a hell of a good time. The way it combines deckbuilding and the grid battle system had me hooked from my very first run and it's so easy to learn. With an array of different cards to discover and modify, its inclusion of three characters with three different playstyles creates alot opportunity to play how you want. Even though the enemies can be repetitive and I found runs super quick to complete, Demon's Mirror may just be one of 2024's moore exciting new deckbuilders.
Taking the best parts of a card battler and classic 'match three' board busters, Demon's Mirror manages to create something familiar but still fiercely unique and unquantifiably vast.
Demon's Mirror is a good roguelike deckbuilder, though be prepared to keep in mind all sorts of complex mechanics and attacks coming your way, lest your run comes to an untimely end.
Demon’s Mirror blends roguelike deckbuilding with chain-three puzzle mechanics for a fresh twist, but its steep learning curve and reliance on RNG can hinder new players.

Ultimately, I found Demon’s Mirror to be a compelling and addictive experience – even if it could be a bit tough in places. Its clever blend of deck building and match-three mechanics feels refreshing and unique for the genre, which does it a lot of favours given how oversaturated it can be. Demon’s Mirror does enough to stand out though, and despite the occasional stressful moments, it has that “just one more try” appeal that kept me coming back for more.
Demon’s Mirror didn’t vibe with me, and while I appreciate the effort to mix up these two gameplay styles, the friction between the two left me annoyed and drained.
