Hello Im Skill Incarnate and Welcome to My Games Review Series.
My reviews cover indie games that i have bought, had gifted to me and have been provided by developers for review.

In this episode I return to the one of my favourite Indie Soulslikes with The Devil Within: Satgat. This game was developed by Newcore Games and was published by Astrolabe Games, who also released the very popular Point And Click adventure Shanghai Summer. I covered the Demo for this game on my Twitch Channel and was very impressed by its excellent controls, precise combat and eastern style. The developer reached out to me to cover the full version so ive eagerly accepted

The Devil Within takes place in an alternate version of China, where a mysterious tower called the Ebon Sting appears from nowhere. While the tower is first welcomed by the people as it provided a potent new fuel source called the Crimson Oil, the tower begins to corrupt the populace, turning them into monstrous abominations. In response an elite military
squad is sent to the Ebon Sting to destroy it at all cost. The player controls, Kim Rip, an elite member of the squad, who is the only survivor after they succumb to the corrupt influence of the tower. You must now fight your way through the ruins of your home, destroying the corrupted population and seeking a way to destroy the Ebon Sting

This is one of the best Soulslike titles ive played in recent times. It is also an excellent introduction to the genre for newer players less experience in Soulslike games. I highly recommend it.

ABOUT THIS GAME
The Ebon Sting, a foreboding black tower of unknown origin, arrived mysteriously and altered the formerly tranquil world forever. At first, the Crimson Oil that seeped from the tower seemed to bring prosperity, but soon after, demonic entities appeared and over half of the population began to display unusual symptoms. The remaining citizens recognized that the Ebon Sting was responsible for the abnormalities and turned to General Hong Sang and Royal Guard Kim Rip, who embarked on a mission to eliminate the source at the tower's core.
