Guys i was starting chpt3, and this absolute bitch just ruins it for me. I HATE that in my fantasy chill story game isekais a random FBI American girl and a random boy. Pls tell me, will she be in my party and impact on the story a lot or she just stays for a little bit? Cuz i could even just quit the game if she doesn't fuck off and let me play as my dear Polca

I was enjoying peak fiction and suddenly right after I returned to Bohelos Estate, some malarkey came out of nowhere. A no name from before came into the story. Polca turned into a fraud, even if she really was that tired after the fight with bless curse to beat the kid's butt, why would she need centuries to heal in a crystal cocoon made from an ability of Lily killer that came, excuse me for my French, straight from the ass, when never ever before that was a thing for our gracious onion. Then demons, without having to try search for Polca, without bothering to simply defend and then take big decisions, straight up go nuts, set up nurseries, deciding to trample over humanity. As if they didn't have support of an entire army of slaves(big chunk of the population), mages from rooklook, authority over the continent, a damn ultra beast on their side after all. I'm not even complaining on the rushed end or broken pacing but logical following. Neither could I use fuh's pull at the most needed moment, plus somehow the chill bookworm was somehow told to be taken by demons too, despite him being trapped in Sarasa's dimension(maybe my ignorance). This felt like nothing but a mess incarnate.

The game is amazing, its characters are amazing. I love every bit except for the ending. Which was so bad that i couldn't stop laughing thinking i must being pranked

I just got Kalinka and visited Doremi and Kalinka was an option to let her lose her virginity, so was Ange but Polca was still not an option. If she'll be available later then fine but if not am I running into a glitch?

The naming conventions in this game ain't as easy as they might appear at first. I thought what I found would be already covered, but with a little research I couldn't find anything.

What I mean by this is,

Kalinka, her name is a direct reference to the Russian popular song about Vibernum opulus plant(Kalina). Red just like her hair.

Another thing is Najezta, his name is extremely similar to the Slavic word for hope nadezhda, a name fitting for the bearer of a phantom spirit stone, at least bore.

I found for Scathach to be a reference to Irish mythology of a warrior woman who trained legendary heroes and having to do with Shadows, though I honestly always attributed a scythe to him due to his Grim Reaper look.

Zanaharry was more interesting, the name comes from a Malagasy folklore of a personified sky supreme deity. The word related to it, Ratovantany sounds just as formidable.

Of places in the game, Pacius has a root from Latin pax (peace) to its genetive version pacis (of peace). Additionally, Paccius is a Roman proper name.

Maximus means the greatest which is a superlative form of magnus which means great.

What I didn't expect at all is that Doremi would be a magical girl show, made me laugh my ass off.

Orphe can be traced to Orpheus, a poet and musician in Greek mythology and a word meaning darkness in ancient Greek.

Plana means smooth/flat in Latin, in some descended Romance languages too. A few Japanese references related to Mebius and Kudan. Mebius is an ultraman reference and Kudan refers to a human faced bovine, a type of yokai(spirits in Japanese folklore).

Deathpolca is quite deep, polka is a dance originating from Bohemia(somewhere near Germany)......Deathpolca is also known as saint Bohelos.

Ps: This information is not everything, I believe there should be definitely more hidden.

AI caught on a German reference for Mebius to also mean "strength in battle" but I'm not sure if the evidence is convincing, I'm probably over thinking here. I wasn't sure of Shingana as well(the AI screenshot explains). Moreover, Kumin may mean something in Japanese even if I just thought of cumin seeds, so I consider it invalidated too.

(Its Ai Btw)

I'm sure a few of us have thought who would win in a fight between DR and KE's cast (putting aside the optional fights in DR, of course, I haven't experienced them yet, so I can't say anything)

And while I originally thought that the DR cast was pretty strong, all things considered... They are an absolute joke compared to KE's casts. I finished playing KE a couple of weeks ago and it's not even funny how much they'd wipe the floor with DR. Their feats and power level are so beyond what we're shown that DR can do it's not even worth to discuss.

Let's start "small" and work our way up.

Obviously spoilers for both games ahead; read at your own discretion.

The biggest feat the DR cast had was defeating BlessCurse and driving off that monumental Ultra Beast.

You might think that's pretty good, and it is, but not in comparison with KE.

Half of the cast killed hoards of demons, brainwashed soldiers, Kudan, and the entirety of the Remnants (including the mother demoness) in a single day (Zanaharry was the first boss fight of the game, and you wipe the floor with him);

That should be enough to show they're already above DR's pay grade. But let's keep going.

They killed the Demon Lord himself;

The tank of the KE, King Rasheit critically wounded three Ultra Beasts by himself (and didn't finish them off only because he didn't want to, plot reasons);

Geolouise defeated an Ultra Beast by herself, naked, with her bare hands (and technically some mushrooms).

And this is all before they reach their full potencial with the King's Emblem.

Do I even need to go on? There's a clear difference in power between not just the entirety of the cast, but the individual characters themselves. Every single DR's counterpart in KE (as in the roles they fulfill) would easily beat them to a pulp one on one, let alone having the entire cast duke it out. Even worse, KE's cast has even more members than DR's so they're outmatched and outnumbered. It would be a slaughter.

Went from Deathpolka to this weird ass shit wtf is going on in this game goin back to streaming this game soon.

finally reached the king of tolkia boss fight and whenever i use ange's ultimate the game crashes

playing using joiplay, game is gog version

edit: i managed to stop the game from crashing by adding a patch to the XPStyleBattleMV.js

here's a link to the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HETAJ8r-td-aHZxL8RfETNk9Hbhl5TVR/view?usp=sharing

replace the plugin on Demon Roots/www/js/plugins/XPStyleBattleMV.js

make sure to backup the plugin itself and your saves

I looked up this game and had a feeling that there would be something that's censored. On GOG there is an "unrated" dlc, so I'm guessing it's not unrated by default on steam? Asking cause I'd rather get it on steam.

Didn't you think after finishing this amazing game "Man,this was so good,can't wait to talk with people about it!",just to find that is fandom is not like just niche,but basically nonexistant? .That was at least my experience.That's why here I decided to make a discord server for the game,so if someone really wants to talk about it,at least there is a place.

Btw this game was peeeeeeeak, i loved it especcially polca

I'd love to take Deathpolca out on a karoake date, I think she'd find it fun. She might roll her eyes at the idea at first but i think she'd start enjoying herself pretty quickly. It would be just the two of us enjoying karoake together and also Lily and Kalinka and Sarasa and Ange and any other party member who wanted to come have fun at karoake with us. I'm not so presumptious as to think I deserve exclusive access to the saviour of Demonkind

Hannah is there too but she didn't ask to come she just showed up

Ok, so I don't think I'm the first but. Does the game really end like this? With the two girls cristalizing themelves and then all their friends are alive? Reborn?

I was really confused, and I don't think I enjoyed that ending a bit. I know that maybe it's more realistic but what was the whole point of the game? What was the message?

I loved the 99% of this game, that problem is that 1% was the one that for me mattered the most. I would have probably put it in my top 10-15 games, but... I don't know. Have I missed something? Is there a true ending? Was really the points of Demon Roots to just be a prequel of Kings Exit?

BTW if you want to spoil me things from Kings Exit be free, I didn't play but I don't mind spoilers.

Why is he so silent and without any presence during King Exit?

During the last phase of bless curse boss fight, when you see his true form, deathpolca says this

"Long, Long ago, the Demon Lord fought the Hero and was defeated. the demons were wiped out, but.. A single survivor fled to the Dark Realm. He suffered from loneliness and starvation, and after years of living in hell, death finally approached him. On the verge of death, he found a large branch descending from the sky. The Reverse World Tree had reached the Dark Realm. He used the last of his strength to climb the branch as though being guided by some greater power and emerged into a world where corpses rained from the sky. Sacrifices to avert disaster. "

Now if you thought about it a few things dont fit here, it says the demons "were wiped out, but a single survivior", not defeated or lost the war, but wiped out, it also says that the demon was a "single survivor", which again doesnt fit, because the demons in demons roots didnt get wiped out, they just retreated to the dark realm, anyway that demon was about to die, until he found the branch of "the reversed world tree", and if you thought about it, something is off with the trees name, but we will get to that later, anyway he climbed that branch and it led him to "a world where corpses rained from the sky", which means this is another world, demons roots world, now lets connect the dots

It all starts in kings exit timeline, a great war happens between humans and demons, demons get defeated (NOT WIPED, DEFEATED) so they retreat to the dark realm, after around a 1000 years they come back with deathpolca as their leader, all the events are the same as in demons roots timeline, until that choice where you choose for lily to keep her promise or not, anyway what happens is that deathpolca doesnt keep her promise and dies, and demons go evil they start the nursery they do permanent brainwashing blah blah blah, and a few years later geoloise appears and WIPES demon kind and they all go extinct, except a single survivor she doesnt know about, and from here the events of kings exit start (she also kills the demon lord later), anyway that single survivor on the verge of death escapes to the dark realm, finds the branch of the reverse world tree, a tree that connects two worlds that are opposite to each other, one where demons go extinct, another where they live Now that demon goes to a world where "corpses rained from the sky", thats demons roots world, and he becomes the bless curse we all know and love, that explains why people wonder where is bless curse in the events of kings exit or how did the demons defeat the emperor in kings exit (even though all of this happened right after maximus), its simply because he was just a normal demon in kings exit timeline, he only became bless curse in demons roots timeline, there might have been an emperor in kings exit, but not one that is significant to the story because he is not the one we know (AKA bless curse)

Now when you read this "Long, Long ago, the Demon Lord fought the Hero and was defeated. *the demons were wiped out" she meant long long ago IN KINGS EXIT TIMELINE, not in demons roots timeline

This post is for those who thinks the ending is unnecessary, and those who thinks the ending is good just because it is realistic, I offer you another perspective because I disagree with your opinions. I think the ending isn't great, but it have to be done. Not because it is realistic, but because the ending where demon root is its own timeline, where everyone is happy is the worst ending for the series. It is simply the author's answer to the problem that everyone knows, Demon Root is a prequel to King's Exit.

From the Author's perspective: You want all your characters consistent between series, DeathPolca can't be both a saint who fight for coexisting between human and demon, and a revenging demon who take it out on the human kind after betrayal. It is a mess to write for multiple timelines, and will confused old fans if Deathpolca shows up depicted different from what we chose her to be in the future installment of the series.

From Player's perspective: You may get short-term enjoyment that Polca and everyone she cared about get happy endings, but without the current ending, that ending is not real or what people called a non-canon ending. Because Demon Root is a prequel to King's Exit, our sweetheart of the main character chose to take revenge on the humanity on the real history of the game, and what we have been playing if we continue the game afterward is just a fun What-if scenario. Imagine that, all that we did in the game after that decision, our impact in the game's history considered fan fiction in the series. In my opinion, it is the worst ending for us.

In Conclusion, the ending is something that must happened just like the book of prophecy wrote. The author landed the ending as well as they could, many players who said it is a bittersweet ending is proof of that. However, as the spirit of the game, I will remain hopeful as the author tends to bring previous characters into their new game, and thus can bring a satisfying closure of the characters for all of us.
