Capturing demons to explore ever deeper sets up a first-person dungeon crawler where every floor hides traps, treasures and battles. Mapping the labyrinths, optimising your team and completing your collection demands long, patient hours. That depth, native to the genre, offers a lifespan dungeon-RPG fans savour.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

An underrated gem
Behind its moe styling hides a demanding old-school dungeon-crawler where you capture demons to build your party and clear trap-laden floors. Too niche and a touch repetitive, it slipped past everyone outside the genre's faithful. If you love mapping with the stylus and tight resource management, it's a generous gateway into the Japanese dungeon.
Is Demon Gaze still worth playing in 2026?
A first person dungeon crawler from Experience, Demon Gaze sends the player to explore labyrinths populated by demons that he can capture and summon to fight at his side, in a demanding turn based system. The demon capturing, the party management and the methodical mapping make up a rich dungeon RPG, served by a colourful art direction and light writing. The difficulty and the repetitive structure target genre fans. For a fan of Japanese DRPGs or someone curious about first person labyrinths, the title keeps a preserved depth and charm.
