Devil Daggers

A loop you can’t escape, honed to perfection. The sounds bleed through walls you didn’t know were there, crawling into your ears. Somehow, this became one of the most unsettling journeys I’ve taken through a screen.

The price seems fair. Yet some part of me knows the toll isn’t paid in coins alone. Often discounted; A bargain, some say. But no sale can cleanse what it extracts beyond your purse.

fast paced fps with addicting gameplay. JD on wede will never beat me at this game

Sorath created one of the best fps ever 💀

this game is sick and evil stay far away unless you enjoy PAIN this game HURTS IT HURTS

makes me mad as SHIT but i love it and can't get enough

Can't think of another game more gruelling or elegant in its design than Devil Daggers.
Reaching the big 500 second mark is one of the most rewarding achievements I've accomplished in gaming.

This is one of those games in which, over time, you become so good that you can not comprehend how bad you were a hundred hours ago.
Enemies you struggled with getting past become nothing more than the weakest enemies in the character roster, and the solution to every challenging situation slowly engraves itself into a habit that is very hard to shake off.

There is one singular Achievement, and that is to get to the 500-second mark. I struggled for 300 hours to get to it, and now I need to sabotage myself so I don't reach it on every run.
If you like having a side game that you can pop-on from time to time to kill some time or get those endorphin levels high, then I can only recommend it. It's a grind, but a grind that is worth it!

The grinding music only amplifies the grit of distorted visuals echoing disfigured entities amongst demented hellscape which rapidly expand into a relentless assault on any hope. You're suffocating and confused, but you still try to fight... a little progress each time. I'm sure this would ensure a bad trip on any psychedelic; it isn't cartoonish Doom hell depiction and closer to a Silent Hill conception of such.

Masterpiece.

Skull1/10

this is planking in video game format

Devil Daggers is an incredible game. It's so simple a baby could understand it, but its so complicated that the best of the best of players still struggle.

This game is HARD. Reaching 100 seconds is doable, but everything after that gets so much harder, and it does that EXTREMELY quickly. I had to practice like fuck to even get my 500 second run, and even then I got extremely lucky in the last ~50 seconds (not to say it was all luck though). If you like shooters in any capacity, get Devil Daggers. Its amazing and you will not regret it.

The gameplay loop is amazing, and the best part is that you just know you fucked something up, and that you're able to fix that next run.

As I made it closer to 500 Seconds, my heart rate began to rise, I felt a wave of euphoria. Once I passed it, uncontrollable shaking and soon after, catharsis. One of if not the greatest video game of all time.

300 seconds, those 3 fuckers can suck mine,

Game definitely play very smooth, can be really difficult in few minutes in when centipedes spawn overall enjoyable, anxiety inducing game

i fucking hate this game

This is the most addicting game I have ever played

10/10 best nightmare ever

Everything is deliberate, down to the bone.

BLAST MUSIC TO THIS BLAST MUSIC

hell yeah.

I'm going to hedge this Not Recommended with this: I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who enjoys grinding/improving and being a completionist (within reason). If you don't care about getting the achievement, you will likely like this game if you want an arena survival shooter. This game does that, on a game play level, very well. Likely one of the best on the market on a game play level. If you don't care about the achievement but enjoy improving in games, this game also provides a rewarding feeling of progression and accomplishment. It's kinda like feeling yourself improve while playing the new DOOM games. It's very rewarding, but unfortunately addictive. If you do care about the achievement though, get ready for quite the grind, and one that loses a lot of enjoyment after the first 25 hours. Once you consistently start reaching the 200 second mark, having to restart just to grind back to that mark to get meaningful practice is incredibly draining. I'm really feeling that, especially in the post 400 second territory. Each run is long, and dying to something that feels unfair 5 minutes in feels so insulting. This issue would be mitigated if there was a save state system, but there is not unfortunately (there's supposedly one you can download from GitHub that's community made, but that's a community fix to a problem the game has, so I'm not including that for this review).

Here's my biggest issues:
1. I have so many questions for whoever decided to put the fire modes on the same button with an input delay to delineate between the firing modes. Why? Just put the fire modes on left and right and click and homing daggers on mouse 3 or Q and make the firing instant. I've died countless times while turning to shoot a laughing skull, clicking, getting dead air because the game was needing to decide what my input was (ie, no daggers were shot), and then dying because no projectiles came out to kill the target even though I clicked. That just feels awful every time it happens, and while the answer is don't wind up in situations like that, in a game meant to make you feel like you're barely alive the entire time, those situations will arise and responsive controls should be paramount.
2. Enemies can go through each other. It's rare due to pathing, but getting blindsided pull a skull through a pillar feels awful when it does happen.
3. Sound is good, but not perfect. Especially with laughing skulls, sometimes they sound right behind me and aren't, but more egregiously, sometimes they sound across the arena but are actually in striking distance, or make no noise all together. Really frustrating.
4. No training/checkpoint mode. Maybe I've been made much more soft thanks to modern training modes in other games, but this game lacking one sucks for long term improvement and practice. I wish I could train the different waves and then try a real run to unlock the next set of training waves and the achievement.
5. Spiders being able to attract stuff while ducked is really dumb (happens periodically if the initial volley fails to kill). Feels incredibly unfair.

I'm planning to keep going to get the achievement, and may update when I get it. Mechanically, this game is solid and I'm sure many will enjoy it. I still do, although play sessions are turning more into rage fests than actually enjoyment sadly. The reverse spreed running feel it has is really cool. The lack of respect for the player's time though hurts (and games don't have to respect a player's time. I personally prefer one's that at least pretend to). If you want a high skill game that'll likely take a 100-200 hours to "beat" and provides an essentially endless grind with a leader board system to challenge one to improve beyond "beating the game", this will definitely fulfill that. The game is certainly solid on a game play level, but if you're wired for achievements like me, I wouldn't recommend this unless you like games that require a huge amount of time and repetition. I'm definitely resenting a fair amount of my time investment at this point.

harder than johnny sins on viagra

Clean, simple, and fun

It is mindless fun

the higher my score gets, the higher my bloodpressure and pulse gets

The only reason I'm not suggesting this game is because of the retro 8 bit graphics aesthetic and distorted sound aesthetic, both of these aesthetic choices are very annoying as they used to be the limitations of humanity. Now if you have one arm and other people thinks it's cool and not painful to work with only one arm, not my problem. But yes everything is as advertised and my eyes definitely hurt.

Edit: BTW I will play this game whenever I feel like a masochist.

Simple but very immersive. Can't imagine the effort it must have taken to make such a tight and fun game. it's frustrating but every time I die I find new ways to get better. And beating my high score is just that much more fun.

An amazing game. It's challenging, I would enjoy it more as an RPG. Imagine Devil Daggers as UT2K4 Invasion... There's no chance I can get the achievement.

Very simple yet extremely hard, but enjoyable

Ah yes, time to suffer

bussin'

Not my kind of game, but I understand how this would be awesome for some.

Yeah pretty pawsome game =￣ω￣=

That perfect scrape is like heroin. 10/10, would throw my mouse out the window again
