The production is quite something for an Apple Arcade title. The game's cel-shaded art style is inspired by classic Japanese paintings, which is beautiful, and complimented by high-quality Japanese classical music. What's more, there are several dozen supernatural foes in total, which you can view in the Yokai Compendium (available from the main menu), including some very unusual ones that are downright creepy-looking. Eventually, you'll also cycle between samurai, each with different stats in battle. You'll also choose your load-out carefully, "enhance" your weapons and yokai (using gold and gems in the Enhance tab), study the patterns of your foes (such as when they are more vulnerable, which is your cue to strike), and earn Trophies as a reward for your hard work. While it's one on one when you first start the game, it doesn't take long to encounter large groups of nasty-looking monsters waiting to take you down. At the heart of this game is combat, which is smartly designed and smoothly executed, focusing on the timing of your offensive and defensive moves, along with when to summon creatures to inflict damage against those you're facing off against. World of Demons is well worth your time, especially because you don't have to worry about any microtransactions as you build your army of yokai to help fight the good fight. This is a really fun - and challenging - supernatural hack-and-slash that different than what else is available on Apple Arcade. Visually, World of Demons is inspired by traditional Japanese brush artwork, with stages pulled from ukiyo-e woodblock prints (an art form which flourished primarily between the 17th through 19th centuries). Plus, you can find coins and gems in chests, pots, and other areas, and use them to upgrade your weapons and yokai. Players will be able to level up and choose various weapons, allies, and other items in a loud-out screen, of sorts, which adds a role-playing game-like element. Combat's played out in real-time, and you'll attempt to chain moves together to create combat attacks, evade their counter strikes, and tap on an orb in the bottom right of the screen to unleash the wrath from a fallen foe, now on your side, when it's time to call up some help from your growing army of yokai monsters. As you travel from area to area, you'll initiate combat sequences with demons big and small, including huge boss fighters, and must use your sword and other weapons, and nimble moves, to inflict as much damage as possible - before they can do the same. Tied to Japanese folklore, you'll recruit allies along the way, and even summon creatures you've defeated to help tackle tougher foes. Players assume the role of Onimaru, a young and brave samurai who embarks on on a supernatural journey to face off against the evil Shuten Doji, lord of all Oni. WORLD OF DEMONS is a single-player samurai action game playable through the Apple Arcade subscription service. The game also has some mild profanity ("ass," "hell," "damn") and one image of a character drinking saki and another smoking a pipe. One yokai creature has an eyeball where his anus would be. There are some potentially frightening images, too, such as serpent-like boss characters, with huge fangs and scales, as well as giant skulls burning with fire, and more. While there's no blood or gore, fighting against these creatures is the core gameplay, as well as enlisting help from allies and summoning creatures you've defeated to help, too. It focuses heavily on samurai fighting against several dozen yokai, which are supernatural creatures ripped from Japanese folklore.
