As you circumvent spawn towers and lead enemies in a chase around the platform, the edge is an ever-looming concern. What's more, the map is a floating platform in the middle of endless black, and falling off means failure.
As more enemies fill the map, the amount of safe zones shrink and, eventually, disappear-dodging enemies is tantamount to thinning their ranks. This brings acrobatics and spatial awareness into the necessary skillset. The decision process these towers entail adds another layer to combat: destroying them first might seem like the logical option, but if you ignore their putrid offspring, they'll cover the map, leaving less space for your escape if things go awry. They're also only vulnerable at specific weak points, so killing them means slower, measured tension, especially with a host of enemies on your tail. Many of Devil Daggers' denizens are spawn towers, capable of spewing smaller minions into the area at specific intervals. This rings true when prioritizing certain opponents over others. Learning Devil Daggers means understanding its satanic inhabitants, and how best to deal with the dangers they present. Poisonous insects force you to hurdle them as floating skulls pursue you from behind. Horned demons change elevation to avoid damage. The hellish enemies are numerous, but also varied, exhibiting vastly different behaviors as they cover increasing space on the map. Devil Daggers' dated appearance belies extensive nuance in its systems and the way they unfold. As deaths go by and you learn the game's intricacies, your survival time increases, if only one terrifying second at a time.Īnd there are intricacies here. Devil Daggers compresses the shooter experience into a focused microcosm, stretching seconds into their own hectic chapters. A score timer at the top of the screen indicates how long you've lasted, and during your first hour, it's an accomplishment just to pass 60 seconds in any given round. All it takes to kill you is physical contact with one enemy. In most cases, that won't be very long: Devil Daggers is overwhelming. With the ability to fire daggers from your fingers at a growing tide of demonic enemies, you're placed on a platform in the middle of a black abyss-the only objective being survival, for as long as possible. Hearkening back to Doom, Quake, and other '90s shooter fare, Devil Daggers touts a grainy art style and direct approach to combat. There's no narrative, no characters, no context surrounding your presence in a dark corner of hell-just precise mechanics and a harrowing pace. *Access to leaderboards and replay features require Internet access the creation of a user login.Devil Daggers uses the foundation of the shooter formula, stripped of spectacle as it hurtles toward simplicity.
