What is Dark Devotion?
This 2D pixel-art action RPG follows a Templar searching a fallen temple for its secrets. You fight enemies and bosses, collect weapons and relics, and spend Faith earned in combat to open secret paths and special chests. The temple's four areas have branching routes that do not allow backtracking.
