From the Devs

You Are the Demon Lord.

Heroes are coming to destroy your castle. Build a demon army, survive brutal roguelike events, and command followers who are more than static units — they can talk back, argue, react, and reveal personality through an offline AI-driven dialogue system.

Demon Rising is a dark fantasy roguelike auto-battler where every run pushes you to make hard choices: recruit demons, build class synergies, equip relics, unlock talents, interrogate captured heroes, and survive three chapters of escalating battles, bosses, and political chaos.

✦ FEATURES

AI-Driven Demon Personalities
Your demons are not silent units. They can speak, react, argue, and reveal their personalities through an offline AI dialogue system. Interrogate captured heroes, debate with your council, and watch your army feel more alive across each run.

Auto-Battle Strategy
You do not control every swing. You build the army, choose classes, equip relics, unlock talents, and watch your demons clash with invading heroes. Victory comes from preparation, synergy, and smart build choices.

Roguelike Runs With Hard Choices
Choose your path through battles, elite enemies, markets, treasures, events, and boss encounters. Every run forces different sacrifices, upgrades, risks, and rewards.

Class Synergies & Broken Builds
Warriors, Mages, Monks, Chaos Lords, hidden classes, relics, buffs, and team synergies let you stack brutal combos and discover powerful builds.

Council, Interrogation, and Dark Events
Rule through more than combat. Debate with your demon council, interrogate captured heroes, face dark encounters, and make choices that shape the tone of each run.

Dark Fantasy Pixel Atmosphere
Pixel-art battles, grim demon portraits, gothic music, and a world where evil feels like a burden — not a joke.

AI disclosure	Demon Rising uses generative AI for part of its content:Live-generated narrative — The game includes a local AI language model that runs fully offline on your PC; no internet connection is required and no data is sent anywhere. During play it generates dynamic dialogue for your demon officers, war-council debates, prisoner interrogations and boss encounters, keeping conversations varied across runs. All generated text is constrained by the game's prompts to in-game characters and situations and is bounded by built-in safeguards. If the AI model is unavailable, the game automatically falls back to hand-written dialogue, so the full game is playable either way.Pre-generated artwork — Some character portraits and illustrations were created with the help of AI image-generation tools, then selected and edited by the developer.All AI-assisted content is curated and reviewed by the developer.
