Devil's Hunt Reviews
Layopi Studios points with a great ambition to the production of a game that belongs to that forgotten space between indie and Triple-A productions. Devil’s Hunt manages to be a fun and entertaining action game. However, the final result does not convince at all, and fails to compete as a solid and differentiated proposal from other existing titles in the market.

Devil's Hunt has interesting moments and good visuals, but it all sinks into a delusional plot and poorly implemented mechanics, where battles are broken and puzzles are reduced to the press of a button. You can certainly hope that something will change in the console version in 2020, but I strongly doubt it.

Devil's Hunt has a poor plot and characters, but it's pretty and playable.
A game about the clashing forces of heaven and hell deserves to be far more interesting, if not in gameplay, then at least in story. Devil’s Hunt fails to deliver on both fronts.
Ambitions exceed the real resources of the young development studio, creating a title that never finds its balance.

Devil's Hunt's weighty combat and at times beautiful visuals are plagued with inconsistency, and lack the level of polish of the titles it borrows from. The result is an unfulfilling teen drama whose flashes of brilliance aren't near enough to justify its price tag.
Devil's Hunt is absolutely awful. A barely functional, extremely boring, completely nonsensical character action game.
Devil's Hunt's battle between the forces of Heaven and Hell can be visually stunning, but highly unpolished at times.
If you're looking for something horribly cheesy with simple controls, this could be something you might enjoy, and to be honest, if the graphics were better, that would be exactly how I would spin this. As a gouda inspired feast of intentional badness. But when you combine the script, the controls, and the graphics, it ends up just feeling like a very ambitious game that never really got there.
A Good Vs Evil ARPG as The Devil's Soul Collectors or Gods Earthly Protector.
Devil's Hunt is a train wreck: from the shallow and dull story to the technical flaws and imprecise combat system, the game looks like a product with a concept from twenty years ago.

Devil's Hunt is one of those games that failed to reach its potential, thus can't be considered a good AA game. Very shallow story, bad character design and repetitive gameplay are the main reasons that you should probably avoid this game.

This hell is not so fearful and not so funny as it should be. But still good choice for modest players.

Unfortunately, gameplay limitations and technical issues affected a good storytelling for Devil's Hunt. It could have been better.

While Devil’s Hunt tries to aim high, with a great attention for details in the story department, the technical aspect is terrible and outdated, and the gameplay feels boring and repetitive.

Devil’s Hunt is a game that knows the look of a high-quality video game, but stumbles on most other fronts. It has the skeleton of the game in place, but struggles to flesh things out beyond that. Clocking in at about six hours, it’s a mostly functional package that takes a grandiose story as its base and delivers something less bombastic. Hopefully Desmond can get his act together should another installment come to fruition.
Devil’s Hunt offers us high production values, especially when it comes to the first video game of a small independent studio, with aspects to improve but which weigh more on the positive side. A fun game, with a fairly typical but well-run story and that, although it does not innovate in any aspect, will give us hours of fun. A highly recommended game without a doubt.

Devil’s Hunt feels dated and it probably could have done with a bit more polish to add in what this style of title needs the most. Oomph. You need to be able to feel the power behind your hits. The story is cheesy and that would have been fine as I love a good dose of cheese, but without a system to back it up and actually make it fun going between those doses of cheesiness? It gets really hard to want to continue as it just becomes a mindless and un-entertaining trek forward.
Sometimes people deride big-budget games as conservative, safe products, focus-tested and drained of imagination. But also, a bigger budget allows for quality writing, ruthless editors and designers with the chops to pull off a high concept.
If you can excuse the low budget afforded to everything outside of the combat, Devil's Hunt is a Hell of a good time, and I would recommend this game to fans its inspirations of Dante's Inferno and Ryse: Son of Rome.
