    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!

    Devil's Hunt is an abomination in practically every way. There are so many cons that I lack adjectives to describe how bad its execution is and how frustrating the experience of playing it is. But let's start from the beginning. The game's premise is a good one, encompassing the eternal conflict of heaven vs. hell, from Lucifer's executioners to Gabriel's archangels and limited company.Devil's Hunt is an abomination in practically every way. There are so many cons that I lack adjectives to describe how bad its execution is and how frustrating the experience of playing it is. But let's start from the beginning. The game's premise is a good one, encompassing the eternal conflict of heaven vs. hell, from Lucifer's executioners to Gabriel's archangels and limited company. And... just. A vast mythological field to be explored that is totally wasted by amateur script, cliché and shallow. The minor characters, villains and iconic figures from mythology could have been much, much better crafted. It's possible to think of dozens of bosses and the like to implement in the game in the best God of War style, but that doesn't happen by far here. The game's story is extremely rushed and underdeveloped. Everything happens too quickly, with various conveniences and without any weight for the protagonist. Speaking of which, the main character is apathetic, generic and even disposable. No matter how many bad things happen to him, or how strong his enemies are, he faces everything with the same negligence and arrogance as ever, meaning: nothing believable and downright pathetic.
    As for the technical aspects... it's a freak show, gentlemen. The performance/optimization of the game is simply MEDIOCRE. Constant frame drops, regardless of the chosen quality, chokes, render delays and stuterings all the time. Even having a setup above the recommended the game does not maintain a constant rate of 60 fps EVER!!! I dare say that it doesn't even handle a constant 30fps at certain times. Add that to the in-game camera that's horribly close and awful, and you've got a nightmare in front of your eyes. I bought it at a bargain price and was stunned to discover that it was released in 2019. The graphic quality is like a 2009 game at the very least, and I'm being kind in comparison given that at this time we had games like Uncharted 2 on the market... As bad as that just your combat is extremely tight. Commands have a huge delay and are not very responsive; and with a problematic camera and damage sponge enemies don't help gameplay at all. That wasn't bad enough, your character doesn't have a block, just dodges, which forces you to slip through the scene in a really buggy way in order not to take damage from enemies.
    Otherwise, the game is totally linear, with a very weak and repetitive soundtrack. The game is around 6 hours long and, when you finish it, the feeling is that you only played a prologue, as the story barely advances and leaves room for sequels. I don't recommend it, not even in promotions. With this amount you can buy real masterpieces.    … Expand

    I buy this game at Halloween sales and I loved it, it has a vibe of the old action games like DMC and it was cool. Shame that there was not more angels. Maybe in DLC, I hope!

Но от одного контроллера в скобках (привет Quiet Man) всё-таки спасает два фактора: Охотник Дьявола - новый IP, являющийся дебютом от абсолютных ноунеймов в игровой индустрии. Как пособие для всех, кто собрался клепать свой "Beat Em Up", начинающееся со слов: "Так делать нельзя!" - это идеал. И уже по данной причине игрокам стоит пробежать сюжетку недаделанного, Польского Спауна до титров, где геймплейно боевая система походит на менее вариативную комбовку из "Remember Me", что в итоге с лёгкостью даёт возможность переименовать название в "Дьявол может ржать", сказав "Чёрт попутал".    … Expand

    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.

    Jak dla mnie to fabuła ciekawa, wygodny styl walki. Co prawda gra z mocnym ograniczeniem wolnej swobody, no ale w końcu to to gra która opowiada. więc mi to tam nie przeszkadza.
    może dużo minusów w kierunku technicznym. ale nie przeszkadzają by przejść grę i poznać historię.

    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

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.

    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.
