Game Story Revealed

In Damon And Baby, players are introduced to the Demon Lord “Damon” – who embarks on a journey to break a curse, accompanied by a “mysterious child” entrusted to him through the final wish of his late best friend. While Damon expected to receive a soul as his reward, his friend passes away and ascends to Heaven before the deal is sealed. Now, due to a breach of contract, Damon has lost his demonic powers. To make matters worse, a curse has bound him to the child, making it impossible for them to be separated by more than a short distance. With no other choice, Damon sets off for the Celestial Realm with the baby in tow—only to find himself hunted by relentless demons determined to snatch the child away. Alongside a meddling angel, a bat-shifting mafioso, and a samurai trapped in the body of a goose, Damon embarks on a journey through strange twists of fate to break the curse once and for all.

A Classic Yet Refreshing Tale of a Demon Lord and a Child

Experience a hard-boiled yet heartwarming story as the Demon Lord “Damon” embarks on a quest to break a curse, accompanied by a “mysterious child” entrusted to him by his late best friend’s final wish. The character designs, crafted by Daisuke Ishiwatari (General Director of the GUILTY GEAR series), feature an exquisite fusion of pop-art sensibilities and dark fantasy. While the game includes must-see cameos from fan-favorite characters from GUILTY GEAR and BLAZBLUE, the experience is designed to be fully enjoyed by newcomers and long-time fans alike.

Exhilarating Twin-Stick Action Powered by the “Baby Jump”

Building on a foundation of classic shooter action—movement, jumping, and shooting—the game introduces the unique “Baby Jump” mechanic to add a layer of deep strategy. By launching the child forward, Damon can instantly warp to that location. This allows for versatile maneuvers like mid-air dashes and dodging enemy attacks, delivering the pure thrill of navigating arenas with high-speed, technical mobility. As you progress, you will unlock “Evolution Skills” that awaken during your adventure. Master these new abilities to conquer unknown territories.

Deep Exploration Stages with Over 80 Unique Enemies and Dynamic Gimmicks

Encounter over 80 distinct enemy types—not just simple color swaps, but unique foes packed with their own tricks and gimmicks. From mimics disguised as treasure chests and items to obstacles that regenerate even after being destroyed, the battles are anything but Predictable. Need an edge? Check the “Demopedia”! This comprehensive encyclopedia covers everything from enemy names to detailed ecological data. The vast map is also teeming with hidden items and collectibles. Scavenge for ingredients in refrigerators and drawers to cook a wide variety of hamburgers and other dishes. These meals provide crucial buffs to your attack and defense, keeping you motivated to explore every nook and cranny of this world.

Vast Weapon Variety and Multiplayer to Suit Every Playstyle

From handguns, machine guns, and shotguns to RPGs and knuckles (melee), the weapons you can equip feature incredibly diverse performance and traits. Choosing the right tool for the job is the key to victory—whether it’s a gun that freezes enemies in their tracks or one equipped with a shield that boosts your defense while aiming. Furthermore, the game supports offline multiplayer, allowing a second player to take control of your faithful “Dog” companion. Work together to take down foes or provide essential tactical assists to Damon.

A Cast of Characters Bursting with Personality

Players will experience a game story and world filled with a unique cast of characters, including:

• Damon – A demon with grand ambitions of becoming the Archdemon King. Bound by a promise to an old friend, he stepped in to save a human child—only to be struck by a curse that shackles him to the brat's side. Now, much to his eternal chagrin, the aspiring dark lord finds himself trekking across the world with a noisy toddler in tow.

• The Mysterious Child – A child of unknown origin. This innocent little one is deeply attached to Damon, and their pure, infectious smile has a way of moving the hearts of everyone they meet.  
• Tinatana – An angel from the Ministry of Health in Heaven. Dispatched as a subcontractor for Hell Insurance, she is in charge of the group’s meals—and their performance evaluations.

• Hannemann – A vampire mafioso from Seattle. He supports Damon and his group, taking the form of a bat to fight alongside them in battle.

• Manjumaru – A legendary Demon Hunter fueled by a cold, unrelenting hatred for all things hell-born. Once the scourge of the underworld, he was "blessed" by the heavens with a divine power that backfired, uncontrollably transforming him into a common goose. Now, his terrifying presence is reduced to a series of angry honks, though his lethal instincts remain as sharp as ever.
