Demons of Asteborg DX
About DOA DX
Demons of Asteborg DX is the remake of our very first video game: Demons of Asteborg.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/demons-of-asteborg-dx-a-new-game-for-gba-neo-...
If you know Neofid Studios, you also know that we have distinguished ourselves so far with our developments for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis, which we have pushed to the limit of its capabilities.
In order to overcome the technical limitations of the latter and to present an even more ambitious version of the game, we have decided this time to develop for two more powerful consoles: the Game Boy Advance and the Neo-Geo.
In 2021, thanks to you, the success of Demons of Asteborg on Megadrive exceeded our expectations and propelled us among the top developers in the field. Today, in order to repay the most loyal fans of our flagship license, we are stepping up again to perfect the player experience of Demons of Asteborg.
More power, more colors, more content, better difficulty balancing, and many bonuses compared to the original version: with the capabilities of the GBA and the Neo-Geo, we offer you a renewed and even more exceptional gaming experience.
A game that is more beautiful, fairer, and much more enjoyable.
At its release, Demons of Asteborg was the largest game ever published on Sega Megadrive with no less than 120 MB of content:
- 10 Levels
- 4 playable characters
- 3 difficulty modes
- 8 Special Powers
- Over a hundred different enemies
- 10 Boss to defeat
The challenge is huge, but we will do everything in our power to continue pushing the limits.
What a complete remake (including sprites) could look like !
If the campaign is successful enough, we migh even discover new levels in Asteborg !
We want to take our time to release the best possible version of Demons of Asteborg DX, we plan to start shipping the GBA version by June 2025, while the Neo-Geo version will have to wait until Christmas 2025.

Offer the digital version please already. Not everyone that wants to actually play these games is a collector. Most of us want to play modern retro games legitimately on retro handhelds like the TrimUI Brick, Retroid Pocket etc...
Please give us the option to buy digital asap.
When we able to pre-order digital version for the GBA?
I wanna play the full GBA version, but I can't afford to buy the physical version of it and won't have the money to do so in the forseeable future, and no, the demo's not enough.
Please offer the option to buy it digitally here.
How can I purchase the GBA version?
Hello there ! You can order the GBA version here : https://neofid-studios.com/products/pre-order-demons-of-asteborg-dx-new-boxed-ca...
Last info from November says that both versions are delayed and coming 1st quarter 2026. Two months left... ;-)
Hello ! We'll make everything we can to make it in time, we are working hard, trust me :D
Where is the Neo Geo version?
The NeoGeo version is still in development!
We released a private demo at an event in Lyon. You can see some images here (at 23:10) :
We continue to work hard to deliver what might be the ultimate version of Demons of Asteborg!
I would love to pay for the GBA or Neo Geo ROM files. But, it looks like that might not be a thing because of piracy concern. The fundraiser page shows the Neo Geo has a better resolution...I'm not really sure which would be the best experience.
Hola, hay posibilidad de comprar la version completa de gba para mi consola emuladora me encanto el juego!
This looks awesome! I would tag it with “Game Boy Advance” as well so the right audience can find it easily.
Thanks for the kind words ! We added the Game Boy Advance tag !
when is this release?
Hello ! The release of both versions is planned for the end of the year, thanks for your interest !
Will there be a digital version?
Are there any potential plans this could also come to the Evercade like the original version? Currently playing the og on there and loving it.
look forward to a neogeo demo
Very cool and technically excellent game that has rarely been seen on the GBA, especially the multi-scrolling. And it plays fantastically too. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 05:28:50. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
El juego estará en ESPAÑOL?
Sí, el juego se traducirá al español, ¡igual que la versión original!
Is there any way to send you a few dollars for your effort? This port is looking fantabulous—even though the Indiegogo is closed would love a way to give you a little something for your time.
Hello Rob !
You can support us by pre-ordering the game on our website : https://neofid-studios.com/fr
You can also get the ROM of the original version for a more affordable price!
Many thanks for your support!
Thanks! The ROM available to purchase on your website is for Genesis, I assume the GBA version will be available when it's finally released? I don't see a way to 'prepay' for the GBA one.
very nicely done!
the scenarios and enemies looks very impressive (specially the world map *chef kiss*), but the main character looks a bit dull in its animations, specially the sword combo frames. Any way great work!
You should create a new Kickstarter campaign with just the GBA version. Surely the expenses to produce a GBA game are much lower and you could finance the game. I wouldn't like all of this to go to waste.
We are pretty sure we can still make it !
I just found out that you got the necessary money, I'm very happy for you, congratulations 👏
Very interesting port. Amazing work!
Thank you so much for your support !
I played the demo, I saw some problems, one of them was when pressing the button that raises the water I went to the left side which is not the correct one so I went back and had to go through the scene again to press the button, a suggestion, button dedicated to scroll but keep the scroll function using Down + A
Thank you for your feedback, obvisouly this is an early version of the game and a lot of things will be fixed in the final version !
