Little Devil Inside’s Trailer

The game’s imaginative approach to combat and its stunning art style are incredibly pleasing.

As Billy, a distinguished mercenary and the main protagonist of the series, players can embark on heroic deeds, quests and adventures in an open-world experience, armed with a large arsenal of weapons and a few survival tools.
As players travel from one location to another, they’ll need to take care of Billy’s basic needs, including filling up on food and water, all the while dealing with mobs of monsters, sheep and other amusing events. What’s more, the title promises to support cooperative gameplay, allowing players to group up with their friends to tackle the harsh world.
