Sep 19, 2019This game is great, absolute masterpiece in a genre that hasn’t really been popular in the scene. There’s great voice acting, a beautiful soundtrack and tons of action. If you’re looking for a great storytelling action based role playing game while fighting for good or evil, this is the way to go. Aside from a few frame drops here and there and the random audio drop, this game is a complete masterpiece. A diamond in the rough if you will.

Sep 17, 2019Devil’s Hunt doesn’t try to do anything new, but we’ve had a great time with it. It’s like a game that has been trapped in time, and maybe that’s the reason why we’ve enjoyed it –if you’re looking for something original or more unique, you won’t find it here.

Sep 17, 2019Layopi Studios points with great ambition to the production of a game that belongs to that forgotten space between indie and Triple-A productions. Devil’s Hunt manages to be a fun and entertaining action game. However, the final result does not convince at all, and fails to compete as a solid and differentiated proposal from other existing titles in the market.
-
Sep 17, 2019In addition to a spectacularly unlikable antihero protagonist, Devil’s Hunt has combat that sometimes feels like an afterthought and endless cutscenes that desperately need the help of better writers and designers. I liked its story, and a better executed Devil’s Hunt could give Devil May Cry or that other Polish novel-based game a run for its money.
-
Sep 17, 2019Unfortunately, gameplay is limited and weak, and doesn't do Devil's Hunt its justice for offering actually an interesting story. It could have been better.
-
Sep 17, 2019Devil's Hunt's weighty combat and at times beautiful visuals are plagued with inconsistency, and lack the level of polish of the titles it borrows from. The result is an unfulfilling teen drama whose flashes of brilliance aren't near enough to justify it's $35 price tag.
-
Sep 17, 2019Devil's Hunt is a train wreck: from the shallow and dull story to the technical flaws and imprecise combat system, the game looks like a product with a concept from twenty years ago.
-
Sep 17, 2019Ambitions exceed the real resources of the young development studio, creating a title that never finds its balance.
-
Oct 11, 2019This apparently is the first entry in a planned trilogy, and while the high production values suggest that the developers are staffed by talented visual stylists, I can’t see any value in coming back for more unless something can be done to completely overhaul the terrible combat of this combat-focused game.
-
Oct 8, 2019Devil’s Hunt not only has one of the worst main character of the current generation: has a boring and awkward game mechanics and it’s poor in visual and sound and has a worst plot. A lost chance to make a nice third person perspective beat’em up.
-
Sep 25, 2019Devil's Hunt is one of those games that failed to reach its potential, thus can't be considered a good AA game. Very shallow story, bad character design and repetitive gameplay are the main reasons that you should probably avoid this game.
-
CD-ActionOct 25, 2019Everything here is fake and stilted which results in story being not engaging – though it keeps trying to get our attention by serving a never-ending sequence of cutscenes. It gets to a point where for every fifteen minutes of watching lacklustre animations we get five minutes of walking and one uninteresting fight. [12/2019, p.62]
-
Oct 16, 2019Devil’s Hunt is one hunt not worth going on in this game. It is shrouded in a myriad of technical, gameplay, and even voice issues. The story is even half-told and it is expected to be finished in a sequel. Avoid for now.
-
Sep 30, 2019There’s no fun to be had in Devil’s Hunt’s version of Hell. The fighting is broken, the level design is amateurish and the story is weak.
-
Sep 27, 2019Devil's Hunt tries to be a decent game but it fails in almost every aspect. The pacing and the writing is poor, the combat is bland and the graphics look dated. Even as an homage to Devil May Cry the result is, to say the least, disheartening.

Game World Navigator MagazineJan 14, 2020For the first few hours you’ll be locked in the “combo-block-dodge-ability” cycle, but as hero unlocks additional powers, more and more elements are dropped, until all that’s left is the use of abilities. [Issue#242, p.65]
-
Sep 17, 2019A game about the clashing forces of heaven and hell deserves to be far more interesting, if not in gameplay, then at least in story. Devil’s Hunt fails to deliver on both fronts. It does have a neat take on the afterlife — Lucifer is essentially a shady businessman who outsources his dirty work, and the angels wear suits and conduct their operations from a pristine office tower – but these ideas are lost in the banality of everything else surrounding them. This is not a hunt worth embarking on.
-
Sep 27, 2019Maybe if the storyline felt complete and the ending didn't unceremoniously rush the player through half-baked boss encounters, Devil's Hunt's narrative could migrate into "so bad it's good" territory. However, as it is, Layopi Games's first stab at weaving an interactive tale from its founder's written source material leaves nowhere to go from here but up. High-quality textures and world design that capture the imagination only go so far when the movement and combat that they're supposed to complement only perform at a range between mundane and adequate.
-
Sep 20, 2019If you're looking for something horribly cheesy with simple controls, this could be something you might enjoy, and to be honest, if the graphics were better, that would be exactly how I would spin this. As a gouda inspired feast of intentional badness. But when you combine the script, the controls, and the graphics, it ends up just feeling like a very ambitious game that never really got there.
-
Sep 17, 2019Devil’s Hunt is a game with obvious flaws, many of which players might excuse for a chance to tear the head off a hulking demon lord or throw unholy lances through the grotesque, glowing body of an angel. There are many more who will watch the trailer on Steam or YouTube and decide the ‘80s metal album aesthetic and combo-happy combat are worth stomaching a story with an infuriating number of dropped threads and unanswered questions. But none of it is worth a writing team that seems to believe rape can be used and excused on the altar of motivating their male protagonist.
