CD-ActionMay 30, 2016This might be the most suggestive vision of hell I’ve ever seen in a game, both repulsive and entrancing. [05/2016, p.69]
-
Edge MagazineMay 1, 2016Movement is smooth and fast, recalling the fluidity of seminal arena shooters such as Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament 2004. [May 2016, p.122]
-
Apr 28, 2016It’s not that deep, but it’s bizarrely engaging and fun.
-
Apr 12, 2016FPS full of action, in which you are constantly going through the same things. Instead of boredom, you will find fun in your small victories.
-
Apr 7, 2016Once you get into the concept it hard to get away from this fast paced fight for survival. This is Geometry Wars in the form of a first person shooter – nice!
-
Apr 6, 2016The game that is borderline uncomfortable to play or even look at, Devil Daggers is a hellish nightmare in which its inhabitants and sounds will keep haunting you, but you’ll keep returning to it, trying to stay there for just a moment longer.
-
Apr 6, 2016Devil Daggers is a brilliant old school shooter inspired by Doom and Quake, that offers an adrenalinic experience condensed in few minutes. Gameplay is very simple and addictive, and you will get busy for a long time with this game, hoping to survive till the end and to climb the online ladder. Even though a single run lasts few seconds.
-
Apr 3, 2016The pixelation, the darkness, the lack of story, and the sounds all come together in this synthesis that hammers home a single point deftly: die endlessly in an arena of death, and die better every time.
-
Mar 16, 2016Smooth performance, excellent sound and masterful gameplay mechanics. The only thing that could push this title to a perfect 10/10 would be additional content, such as more enemy types or technique pickups. If you love throwing knives at things and dying as much as I do, you belong with us down here in the abyssal depths of Devil Daggers.
-
Mar 11, 2016Devil Daggers is a minimalist but well-crafted old-school FPS cleverly mixed with the modern obsession for score attack.
-
Mar 8, 2016Devil Daggers is an intense first-person shooter that seems to be shallow with a lack of features, but actually has an unexpected depth to it. In every level you will learn something new and the possibility to check out how other people play the game, makes it a very engaging experience.
-
Mar 7, 2016The hardcore difficulty and lack of menus will be enough to turn some players off, but for those that stick it out, you’re in for a Hell of a good time.
-
Mar 3, 2016Intense, brutal, scary and intransigent, Devil Daggers will be madly loved and quietly hated. Because what it offers is clearly addressed to a kind of player who can feel Heaven in a Hellish FPS. Probably one of the most punitive games of all time.
-
Mar 3, 2016Most of the time, though, Devil Daggers finds elegance in its simplicity. By stripping the pomp of many modern shooters, it reveals the complexity beneath, molding the fundamentals into something exhilarating, something always worth one more try.
-
Feb 26, 2016It’s a brutal, but brilliant shooter that finds strength in its minimalism, stretching a few seconds of action here and there into endless hours of dreadful fun.
-
Feb 25, 2016A brutally difficult game that is pure digital crack. Devil Daggers might grab you by the balls and shake you until you're sick, but you'll always go back for more.
-
Feb 24, 2016Sometimes it gets more intense than Hotline Miami (!), while memories of Doom will keep your spine running with shivers. Terribly challenging, but still worth it.
-
Feb 23, 2016Devil Daggers is laser-focused on providing a very specific type of shooter experience, suggesting old school classics stripped down to their fundamental core. It’s simple but not simplistic and the very definition of addictive.
-
Feb 20, 2016This game is not for everyone, but if there's even a little part of you that wants to hurl daggers at skeletal spiders under extreme duress, I recommend you go to hell. It's fun here.
-
Feb 18, 2016If you’re going to be damned for all eternity to fight for your afterlife, at least it’s with such a lovingly crafted homage to the shooters of yesteryear—and you don’t even need to worry about whether you’ve got the latest Soundblaster card this time around.
