    Yes it has flaws, this is because of a very troubled development cycle. But if you go into it thinking it your are playing a B-Movie you will have a lot of fun, I certainly did!

    It's not perfect but it's not so awful as it being reviewed by some journalists and youtube viewers. In ways it can be played are more variants than in last Ninja Gaiden. Slashing and finishing your enemies feels and sound very fun. Boss fights are strong and very intensive. Level design is simple so what, it's a standard for Japan arcade slasher. Characters are trashy but cool. Fire + RunIt's not perfect but it's not so awful as it being reviewed by some journalists and youtube viewers.

    I think this is a really fun game and i can't understand all the negative reviews it is getting. It is a fun action game with great controls and if not a 10 it should a least get an 8 and being a wii exclusive makes it even more desirable.

    Thx, Mr. Itagaki. This game is not a **** like critis said, it's an understimeted great experience. I simply love the swipe from tps and action and the solo story mode is great.
    I hope u can make a second chapter with more things and hopefully better framerate(the only one thing gone wrong).
    Anyway, hasta la vista Itagaki san

    Fun game, with a really nice and intense gameplay. The ingle player mode have a good story, charismatic characters and a lot of jokes. The score attack makes it replayable. The multiplayer have enough options and game modes to be funny and interesting a lot of time. The only bad about the game are the typical Unreal 3 issues. Some slow to load textures and that kind of things.

    This game has a really fun multiplayer! And the single player is cool too. Over the top that movie the Transporter or like Triple X. Just fun. The melee weapons in multiplayer are just on another level

    Think that the whole gaming press should apologize to Itagaki. This game is far from perfect, you can see how its development was troubled, but is really fun, it's complete, and it works. **** broken experiences like Assassin's Creed Unity took incredibly no-sense scores.

Devil's third it's not like this and it has my respect.    … Expand

    Only rated 10 to put the score up becuase the way it's rated atm is ridiculous.. The single player is very mediocre until the last mission.. the last mission and the last boss fight are awesome and the entire game should of been at that level from start to finish.. If it had been I would have rated the single player a 7.5 but alas it was not.. the other 8 missions were awful about 3 soOnly rated 10 to put the score up becuase the way it's rated atm is ridiculous..

If it had been I would have rated the single player a 7.5 but alas it was not.. the other 8 missions were awful about 3 so altogether I give the single player 5.5.

    The multi player is fantastic.. customizable characters, load outs, fortresses and clans in fact the only problem with it is there occasionally aren't enough people online but even then you can always find something to do.. And for all those people who say it's pay to win.. you can pay to get golden eggs but I honestly don't see why anyone would.. you gain 30 at the start of the game.. 20 for beating the single player and another 20 for finding the war trophies.. so in about 5 hours you should already have 70 golden eggs and if you can't make a good enough load up or get equipment to be competitive with that you suck at the game.. I'm already level 71.. no micro transactions used up the first golden eggs I got then you earn more as you level up currectly a ninja assassin in tiger cammo with a cats head and have earnt so many extra eggs I don't know what to do with them. Multi player gets a 8.5 so overall I'd rate this game a 7.5.. loads of fun but flawed..    … Expand

I'd give this game a 7.5 or an 8.. cool game.. if you have a wiiu and see this for 28 bucks or less like I did.. pick it up and give it a go..

    Gave a 10 to get the average score higher. However I would give it a 7. Game is certainly good fun and reviewed unfairly. Ok first off, the game is indeed rough around the edges.

The framerate shows that this game was clearly rushed althought it has been in development for so long. Also, the enemy AI is not as good as it should have been and don't expect anything mindblowing from this game in terms of gameplay.

    But the reviews from the "big" videogame websites are way way way too harsh. When you read these reviews the game appears to be unplayable and one of the worst games since Superman 64. I can confirm this i absolutely NOT the case. THe game actually plays great. The controls are responsive and the shooting mechanics are well implemented. The sword gameplay becomes a bit repetitive but reminded me of Ninja Gaiden with some challenging bossfights. The story is quite fun and Ivan is a great protagonist. The multiplayer is fun, however I have not yet played it very extensively. THe graphics are nothing mind blowing, but it runs on UE3 so its not that bad. Actually, when the game DOES run smoothly you really see the potential of the game.

    To conclude, this game is treated unfairly imho. Ok its not perfect but giving it a 10, 20 or 30 is absolute BS. I admit I had fun with the single player and if you are looking for an entertaining shooter and something different than your Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon multiplayer, I happily recommend this game to you.

    I really enjoyed this game. It felt to me like Bayonetta or Devil May Cry as a third person shooter. I am surprised by the negative reviews it has received. I do believe many people struggled with the boss levels and got frustrated. But I completed the game and enjoyed the heck out of it.

    Some aspects of Devil's Third are top-notch, in both design and polish . . . though I wouldn't trust it to do my taxes. [Issue #19 – January/February 2016, p.71]

    If there's a game that fits perfectly as a kusoge (the term that Japanese gamers use for terrible games), Devil's Third is definitely one of a kind. Itagaki's experiment is a total failure in all of game's aspects: bad gameplay mechanics, terrible narrative and poor graphics make this title something to avoid.
