Dark Devotion

Dark Devotion begins with the Templar Knight entering a temple. She eventually ends up in the Filthblood Shelter. From there, the player can explore dungeons, upgrade their skills, and communicate with non-player characters (NPCs). Shortcuts and portals can be unlocked, allowing faster movement through the game's worlds.

The Templar is able to attack, dodge, parry, and block. Stamina is depleted when the Templar rolls or dodges. Attacking with a weapon also depletes stamina; the amount lost depends on the size of the weapon. Players earn Faith when they kill enemies, allowing them to buy perks.

Development of Dark Devotion started in 2015. The game had cleared the Steam Greenlight process, and the developers started a Kickstarter campaign seeking €20,000 to fund the game's development. The campaign ended on 17 October, with €31,796 raised. Dark Devotion was announced by The Arcade Crew on 3 April 2018, with a planned release that same year for PC and consoles.

A playable demo was featured at PAX East 2018. The game's demo was featured again at E3 2018. Dark Devotion was delayed to Q1 2019 on 17 October 2018. A developer diary was also released that same day, discussing the game's universe, art, and scenario.

Dark Devotion received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received fair approval, being recommended by 50% of critics. It received a score of 27/40 from Famitsu, based on individual reviews of 7, 6, 7, and 7.

Rich Edmonds from Windows Central favorably compared Dark Devotion to the Dark Souls series. He called the visuals "stunning" and the gameplay "incredible". However, Edmonds felt that the music was repetitive and thought that the options were lackluster. Phillip Tinner from Screen Rant described Dark Devotion as an "impressive indie". He believed that the game had issues, but felt that the minor ones could be forgiven due to the size of Hibernian Workshop.
