Demon's Gate

Game Details:

"Demon's Gate" adopts a third-person overhead perspective and features a dialogue vocabulary of over 70,000 words to support in-depth character interactions. Players will explore, converse, battle, and advance through quests on the demon-invaded continent of Hestor. The game system includes recruiting multiple companions, tactical switching, three magic systems (elemental, healing, etc.), and triggering side events through conversations. Its map is vast, the story is grand, and the atmosphere is mainly dark fantasy, which, combined with the music of Ian Howe and Barry Leitch, greatly enhances the immersion.

Editor's Recommendation:

As a rare dark-style large-scale RPG from the mid-90s, "Demon's Gate" stands out with its vast world, high freedom of dialogue, and character interaction system. The game not only demonstrates the oppressive feeling of a demon siege but also allows players to freely explore, recruit teams, and cast spells. Modern remakes on Steam and GOG have fixed compatibility issues, making them easier to run. For players who enjoy traditional RPGs, deep storylines, and exploration, this game is undoubtedly a hidden classic, not to be missed.

Game Guide:

I. Early Tasks and Character Recruitment

• Before clearing the game, the primary task is to obtain information and keywords from the tavern NPCs in Tormis City to ensure the advancement of the main storyline.
• Use the vocabulary system to trigger hidden side quests, increasing experience, money, and companion choices.

II. Team Deployment and Character Growth

• It is recommended to build a multi-class team: warrior, archer, mage, healer; magic characters should be equipped with three magic systems to balance the team's output and recovery capabilities.
• Choose to manually release spells and skills in combat to avoid wasting MP, and prioritize upgrading core classes.

III. Exploration and Quest Advancement

• The map of the Hestor continent is extremely vast, allowing free exploration of small villages, underground labyrinths, and ruins. Be sure to unlock teleportation points from each location to save long journeys.
• Pay attention to the impact of small town NPC conversations on triggering storylines and side quests; remember to revisit them repeatedly.

IV. Resource and Magic Resource Management

• Magic books and healing potions are important resources, please purchase and store them first.
• When exploring dungeons, prioritize bringing return scrolls or skills to prevent getting lost and falling into difficulties.

V. Efficient Combat and Boss Strategies

• Save multiple times before boss battles, and try to defeat small monsters first to accumulate experience and resources.
• For key bosses, use group magic and physical interruption in combination. After breaking the enemy's formation, concentrate on output.
