- “With smooth, but precise gameplay and movement, interesting abilities and an overall stable feel you get a great taste of the full game.”
- “Movement feels fluid; however, with the length and variation of levels shown in Demon Turf: Trials, I was unable to fully understand the mechanics and depth of movement that there may be in the full games.”
- “There's probably an hour or two of gameplay here depending on whether you wish to explore the whole of the world hubs, complete the stages fully for their collectibles, and within their allotted time trial windows.”
- “Only issue I personally ran into was that the jumping mechanics didn't always seem to register correctly when trying to multi-jump, and occasionally tried to read a basic jump as a wall jump just because I was slightly close to a wall when I did an initial jump.”

The monetization strategy for "Demon Turf: Queen's Edition" has been criticized as misleading, with the game being described as a poorly executed advertisement rather than a legitimate product.

Overall, the monetization approach is seen as exploitative and detrimental to the gaming community.
- “Demon Turf: Queen's Edition is a badly made, unpopular, and arguably failed 3D platformer made for Nintendo Switch and dumped onto Steam as an afterthought/cash grab... but make no mistake, it's very much a Nintendo Switch game and wasn't designed for PC.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”
