I began playing this game a couple of days ago and have enjoyed the turn based style strategy involved In the game, the building/growth of an account with different strategies involved, and the leaderboard ranking system. 
When starting this game you will need to make sure you know what each stat is doing so you can upgrade accordingly. 

Here are my current stats as of today :

The 3 options in a battle (Conjuring of a Demon) are Attack, Magic, and Guess Name. Each of these take your player stats into account when in battle . *Attack* uses your (Attack and Speed) and takes into the account the Demon’s (Defense, Speed, and Blasphemy). *Magic* takes into account your (Magic and Faith) and uses the enemies (Magic and Blasphemy) to decide damage output. *Guess Name* will lower the stats of your opponent for the remainder of the battle and uses RNG based purely on your (Faith) and the Demon’s (Blasphemy). You will need to decide based on the Demon’s stats which is the best move from turn 1 so that you do not get defeated. 

The game does a good job with brief explaining the mechanics/importance of each stat which is helpful in a game where there is no resetting your stats to correct the faults in your build. So make sure to read up on that! 

Suggestions : 
1. a timer showing your energy replenishment. 
2. partial upgrades (ex: upgrade cost is 100 DCORE, you can apply 50 DCORE bringing the cost down to 50 DCORE)
3. Crushing the bug that I experience where a battle energy is consumed but the battle is auto loss (4 times over 48 hours (20 total battles))

I hope you have enjoyed this brief introduction into Demonicore, a new PvE P2E HIVE game using the DCORE token. 

P.S. if anything in this blog needs to be corrected please comment.
