If I may?
I just want to say for those of you who are disappointed that Raze is not a romanceable character again…
It’s refreshing to have a change of pace including the lack of a demonspawn love interest, not that I dislike romancing them but each game shouldn’t be focused on dating goat-legs. Instead, the narrative should be centered on expanding the world, legends, and history within the series. Without the passion to drive the story it would become an empty shell of its former glory and thus lack the elements that we love about it in the first place. Plus, it allows for different perspectives and insight on the decades that have passed since Bright’s role.
Demonheart is a story and not a demonspawn dating simulator after all, that means meeting new characters and being introduced to more of the dark lore and dangerous encounters that we hold dear to our “hearts”.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the dev had already anticipated people’s reactions (hence why you can flirt with the captor but not touch) and is probably putting extra care and detail into the two romanceable options to win you over. Remember humans are unpredictable therefore, just as capable of acting demonic, and love crazy as a demonspawn, perhaps even worse. (Definitely worse)
I am sure the two humans/demonhearts will more than make up for the absence of wings, hooves, horns, and tail if you gave them a chance. Who knows maybe if we are lucky, perhaps we will even get some extra steamy scenes. (Hint hint)
I feel there is a lot of inspiration put in by Lamb here to make something special and it would be a shame if the story was sacrificed for the sake of fan-service.
I implore you to try out the demo if you still haven’t already before you place any further judgment. Keep in mind that this is a death game and what appears to be an expansion of the demonheart and hunter plot so it might not rely heavily on demonspawn at all or could be introducing new elements to the story.
Perhaps we will learn more about demonhearts and the many questions that surround them.
What is the true purpose of demonhearts? Are they truly of their own free will or do demonspawns and demons have some influence that we are not yet aware of?
Is there some truth to the prophecy? What does their heart taste like, chicken?
This game might be a bit of different approach from the others but it welcomes new adventures and experiences. If Lamb wrote the same story repeatedly, always including demonspawn love interest than it would get boring, so try something new and you might be surprised.
What mysterious and lies do we have yet to discover? I hope you all are as excited about seeing how everything unravels as I am.
You just don’t know where the story will lead and that is what makes it fun.
I will end it here as I still want to open up a new topic later to share my thoughts, excitement, and review of the demo for the upcoming game. I wish you all luck at the trials!
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
