In addition to being able to move around the map and attack enemies, all of which cost a single action point each, you can also make use of special skills and items that are either synonymous with your hero by defeating enemies during combat, or are bought from the handy bazaar that pops up in-between levels. There’s a good amount of depth with Demeo too. Brilliantly, the haptic feedback in the PSVR2 Sense controllers play a subtle but important role here, as you get a quick bit of feedback as you pick up figures, put them down and even throw dice (Demeo even brilliantly counts your dice if they fall off the board, which is nice). It’s so simple, tactile and natrual that just about anybody can start playing. Likewise, attacking enemies, looting chests and opening doors is achieved in the much the same way – you simply pick up and drop. Underscored by a turn-based system, to move in Demeo you simply pick up your chosen character and put them down wherever you’re allowed to, depending on their movement ability. Though it mirrors the tabletop experience so closely, Demeo also turns out to be refreshingly easy to play as well. First experienced through a handy tutorial that orients you with the game, immediately Demeo both looks and plays exactly how you would expect it to. After a chunk of narration from Demeo’s trusty Dungeon Master sets the scene of Demeo’s high fantasy tale of brave heroes doing battle against the encroaching forces of an evil Elf King, we’re off to the races as Demeo gets started in earnest. In no uncertain terms, Demeo on PSVR2 brings the spectacle and physicality of table top gaming to life in your living room/bedroom/whatever-room and does so with ample verve. Demeo PSVR2 Review An Immersive, Accessible And Highly Enjoyable Ode To The Halcyon Days Of Tabletop Gaming Clearly designed by a group of like-minded folks who have experienced the myriad joy that tabletop gaming can bring, Demeo feels in every way like a true love letter to the tabletop gaming spectacle, but brings with it a level of accessibility that should endear the pastime to an all-new generation of gamers. While tabletop games often do a grand job of transporting you off to some far-flung realm, so too do they simultaneously root you in the here and now with palpably real figures that you can hold, treasure cards that you can take and a world that you can physically touch. It’s fair to say that a good chunk of my happier times as youngster and indeed, during the colder evenings with friends as a crustier dude, have been spent around tabletop games with a tray of snacks in tow.
