    This game is good and bad in one. I really enjoyed it but i think devs need more time to learn. This game has potential, they have potential, I mean studio. Devil's Hunt is like old times game, so its ok for me. Good luck and work hard devs ;)

    Well, I don't know were to start. First of all: story. I'm not a big fan of it. It have more holes than budget of poland. Few first chapters its all aboute story, mechanics don't have big rolle in it. We need to fell oure protgagonist, mett his friends.

I'm not a big fan of it. It have more holes than budget of poland. Few first chapters its all aboute story, mechanics don't have big rolle in it. We need to fell oure protgagonist, mett his friends. And after one hour of gameplay, i have no clue what name oh his fiancée is. There is a lot of cutscenes, like A LOT, and you start to feel how to fight, starting enjoy it and... BAM, CUTSCENE. Just... Why?

    Combat can be fun, there was a moments where i was really enjoying it. Slaying hordes of demons or angels, who care... Just kill them all. :D Our "hero" sometimes moving like he has stick in his but. Somtimes skills dont working, becouse enemy has a movment animation in the same time. So, it dont end the animation, just oure skill don't work. End of story.

    Bugs. There is some of it. Sometimes on the cutscene hair and textures are strange. Sometimes you need to skip cutscene. And i had a bug that move me to the first chapter every time i skip film. Once i keep die becouse game starts and it is not fully loaded.

    And last thing. Price. Oh holly molly. It is to high to the quality. Take 25% off and it have 7, not 6. For this price i recomand buy something else.

    It is not bad, but I think autors need to give this game some more work. And some love. I hope it is not last game and we will see better product next time.    … Expand

    The game is a mixed bag for me. The gameplay is not very intriguing and you can see there are issues with animations, movements etc. but the premise is just super interesting to me. I love the TV show Supernatural and the whole Heaven vs Hell storyline. This kept me hooked throughout the whole experience and helped me overlook most of its jarring weaknesses. In the end I came out fairly satisfied.

    This game is a surprise for me. In both ways. Positive and negative. I really enjoyed it but I believe if devs had more time this game could have been much better. For a first title of the new studio this game is actually not bad at all. I had a nice couple hours of fun and I would like to have more! Good music, good graphics, but it seems that movement and animations need more polishing.This game is a surprise for me. In both ways. Positive and negative.

Don't get me wrong it still plays well, but you can really see where they still need to learn.… Expand

    Devil’s Hunt is a bad and good Game at one time, I like The story and The progression of the combat system but in the other hand it felt like a Game not from 2019. It feel good but nothing new, unfortunetly.

    Devil’s Hunt is a 5 and half hour long 3rd person adventure beat em up game where you play as Desmond who makes a deal with the devil to get out of hell…
    Essentially youre trading a chance at revenge in return for your soul… and youre tasked with collecting souls for Lucifer
    I have a love hate relationship with devils hunt…
    I really enjoyed playing through this 5 and a half hour long game… but these 5 and a half hours definitely didn’t go without its issues…
    The biggest issue with this game is that its so narrative focused without a really good narrative…
    Theres a great cast of characters here.. theres a potentially great story to be told here.. but it just isn’t executed…
    Devils Hunt is a very linear game… theres no puzzles or problem solving…
    Its essentially a god of war or devil may cry meets a walking simulator…
    You just go forward, interact with the door or ledge to progress further and occasionally youre stopped for a fight…
    The fighting system here is very basic, and as you make your way through the game youll unlock new moves and abilities by spending your souls or finding collectables throughout the world…
    These occasional battles were a welcomed change of pace to the walking simulator feel of gameplay.. but unfortunately by the games end I was very bored with it, combat was just too easy and unengaging, far too little boss battles, far too little enemy types….this brought down my overall enjoyment of Devils Hunt…
    I was hooked unable to put the game down, but just 3 hours in and im waiting for the credits because I was just so over the monotony of this game and its combat…
    That being said, I still enjoyed Devils Hunt…
    I love narrative based games, I loved the characters and the world… this is what pulled me through to the end…
    Was the payoff worth it?
    In my opinion it wasn’t, I was left very dissatisfied…
    the game ends when it feels like you’re about to get to the final act…
    And with a story based game not delivering on the story it’s really hard to recommend…
    On top of that, the game does have its technical issues, from framerate drops to input lag, down to a whole scene missing its voice acting entirely….
    I had to go to youtube and rewatch these scene with subtitles just to know what all just happened….
    A tad bit more polish and Devils Hunt is an easy sure check this out….
    Right now however this is a wait for a deep discount, or wait for a console release for those sweet sweet trophies
    I give Devils Hunt

    Interesting story. Modern engine. A little crooked physics in the game, but that's okay, you can play. It is clear that the game is a little worse than the competition, but still they spent time on it, the developers tried to do better, give them a chance, do not write frankly bad reviews, do not give too low marks, otherwise not will have a good projects!

    Its just an average game. Finishers and overall combat look decent, but details and shadows look really bad. Game-play have a lot of flaws since there is too much cut-scenes and "plot content". You can't embrace the whole fighting system since brawls lasts too short most of the time. Progress tree is really good and i had some with it.

    Could've gone better, I had high hopes for Devil's Hunt. Hope the devs will try to fix it.

    For 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]

    Everything 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]

    Devil’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.
