Demon Tides is an incredibly sharp 3D platformer that follows Beebz and her crew across the vast oceans of Ragnar’s Rock. You can explore the open seas at your leasure, completing unique challenges at every structure and uncovering the myriad of secrets that have been hidden there, with some of the smoothest movement I’ve seen in a while from the genre. 

Who am I?

I am a former game journalist, current game developer who wants to put a spotlight on indie games and the people who make them. I run a newsletter called Indie Dispatch which is sent out Japanese Friday evenings with 5 games I’ve found that I think you should check out for the weekend. We also have some developer interviews coming up too!

    I played the prequel (at least it looks like it's tied to this game) called Demon Turf. The animation was really interesting and the world building was cool, but the platforming itself was only okay and some of the boss battles just felt broken. Hopefully they learned from that game to make this one even better!

    Demon Turf was such a vibe for me, can't wait to get my hands on the full Demon Tide myself soon!

    I randomly saw this game too and knew I had to instantly wishlist it. If this game looks interesting to anyone here, I highly recommend playing A Hat In Time

    I recently discovered 2mello is on the spundtrack for this game, which flipped it into something I'm definitely gonna pick up

    This looks super cool! I have kind of avoided 3D platformers because growing up most of those games didn't really have much to offer (looking at you MMX 7), but this looks decent!

    I played this and loved it. Possible GOTY for me, but I don't usually play new games. I really hope new 3D platformers take inspiration from this one. So much QoL, an flexibility in your "build". The term expressive is accurate.
