Devolver Digital returned to E3 2021 with another polarizing look into his bizarre offices. The company has shown itself between the sketches and the oaths Demon thrush, a new Switch game from Gato Roboto Developer Doinksoft. The turn? It is only available as a physical purchase.

In a decidedly old school move Demon thrush will only ever be playable via a bad tasting Change cartridge. The game, both on its own and as part of a Collector’s Bundle, can currently be reserved via Special reserve gamesbut it seems to be waiting a bit as people rush to get a copy.
As for the game itself, Demon thrush offers beautiful pixel art graphics and gameplay reminiscent of classic scrolling shooters like. remind Ikari warriors or Pocky & Rocky. It goes really heavily into the NES aesthetic, complete with a simulated composite video filter and perfectly distorted voices.
“Demon thrush tells the story of a beautiful vampire and dusty gunslinger in search of revenge on a demon who stole her mystical goblets and slept with his estranged wife “, Press page read. “Now the two unlikely companions have to storm their way through four monstrous generals and their evil domains in order to lift the demon’s curse and take their revenge.”
I’ll definitely play it, but it feels like the publishers are putting really hard on the gimmick to push it Demon thrush to the crowds. And hey, I’m just sitting in line waiting to spend some money on one so I think it worked. I have just I hope the folks behind this setback are planning a digital version, if only for conservation purposes.
