Devil Daggers Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
I’m currently at #300 out of around 2,700 players with 115 seconds survived, and it’s about time for me to walk away from this review so I can ascend even closer to the top. This game is not for everyone, but if there’s even a little part of you that wants to hurl daggers at skeletal spiders under extreme duress, I recommend you go to hell. It’s fun here.
Devil Daggers’ stripped-down and distilled essence of first-person shooter intensity will take up a lot of my time in the weeks to come. Every second longer that I survive in its hellish arena is a new record for myself to break, over and over again. It’s a brutal, but brilliant shooter that finds strength in its minimalism, stretching a few seconds of action here and there into endless hours of dreadful fun.
All of its component parts coalesce into a simple yet effective whole, a honed and challenging shooter experience. Devil Daggers wants to see exactly what you're made of, and its ever lengthening leaderboard will quite clearly mark your progression and give you something new to aim for every time you beat your own previous high score. It might not come fully stocked with modes and options, but it does offer a focused and tightly controlled blast of frag-filled fun, and for that alone it's worth the relatively modest price of admission.
A well made, but ultimately shallow game, Devil Daggers is a good showcase piece for indie developer Sorath, and a decent score-chaser arcade game to kill some time with.
