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.
