It's amazing how did they manage to create such sensations with just a few pixel. The mechanics are fine too, simple and solid as they should be, but again, this game so good because of fear: fear not to keep up, fear of falling to oblivion, fear of the dark, fear because of the rattling sounds, the monstrous screams, fear of what's coming next. The mechanics The real value of this game is the overwhelming feeling of being constantly overpowered by hellish creatures in a dark world. If you like a difficult game that requires pure skill, then this may just be the right choice for you.The real value of this game is the overwhelming feeling of being constantly overpowered by hellish creatures in a dark world. But I know this game isn’t going to be many peoples cup of tea. This intense high score chaser drops you into a dark arena as endless hordes of demons spawn from the. Its clear that this game is inspired by the FPS’s of the nineties such as Quake, this game succeeds in emulating some of the thrill and adrenaline that many ‘retro inspired’ games fail to grasp. Devil Daggers is an arcade-style first-person shooter inspired by classic '90s FPS like DOOM. What really makes the game for me is the sound design, the meaty chewing sounds you hear when you die, the organic sickly sounds of creatures appearing and attacking, all of it designed to put you on edge. Graphically this game isn’t much to speak of, but then it isn’t designed to be pretty, you aren’t going to spending long looking at the enemies attacking you, not if you want to live long. You never get told why getting the gems is good, its only through several playthroughs and a little guess work that you work out what they do (unless you read a wiki about it, of course). If I have an issue with the game its that very little is actually explained. The load times are near to none existent so all your little sessions begin to merge into one and keep you in that moment of excitement and fear. You die, respawn, die respawn, die, respawn, again, again, again… Eventually it all becomes a blur, you barely remember pressing the retry button. This means you may be able to claw out an extra few seconds just by making note of when the next monster will appear, if you can keep track. Not always in the same place, mind you, but at the same time definitely. The enemies will spawn at exactly the same time regardless of how many times you play. The strange thing about Devil Daggers is that it’s completely scripted. If you manage to breach the two minute mark then you, my friend, are among an elite few. This is a game where your play times between deaths aren’t measured in hours or minutes but seconds. All standard fare, the only minor difference is that hammering the will act as a shotgun blast and that the fires a homing shot which will only be activated once you’ve collected ten gems. The controls will be familiar to anyone who has played a FPS before, holding the fires a stead stream of projectiles, to move and jumps. Monsters, collect the gems and try to survive. The screen and that is your weapon, that’s about it. Wonderful, fast paced, claustrophobic, difficult and a little bit Seconds pass and suddenly a organic sound appears as some ghastlyĪpparition comes into view. Suddenly its gone, the room lights up slightly and all is silent. There, either you do as the voice says or you can stay here just ’ Touch it’Ī voice in your head whispers, you would resist but what else is Rrp: £3.99 ( Steam) and £3.99 ( Humblebundle)Īnywhere bar one spot which highlights a dagger, gently bobbing upĪnd down its point never quite touching the floor. ![]()
