Devil Daggers
Review

Devil Daggers (2016) is an intense and fast shooting game where you try and survive an abyssal arena with waves of demons. You survive by moving around and using your versatile magic daggers to deal with the latest monstrous creature.

The game draws on the 1990s first person shooting games like Doom and differentiates itself from more recent shooting game with a focus on speed and reactions. It keeps things simple. You can move and you can shoot. With these simple mechanics it's down to your skill to survive long enough to make it onto the global leaderboards.

It's a game where you try, fail and try again. At first it seems impossible but soon you find ways to explore and exploit the game's systems. The game's physics and movements encourage you to find fluid ways to get past enemies or find the right angle for the critical attack.
