Devil's Hunt Reviews

Devil's Hunt is ranked in the 6th percentile of games scored on OpenCritic.
Sep 17, 2019

Devil’s Hunt is visually stunning in many ways and seeks to rise above its indie roots, but sadly the game is lacking in polish in many areas. Though at times the gameplay can be genuinely fun and engaging, Devil’s Hunt suffers from frustrating flaws that put it in the shade of other hack-and-slash titles. The clunky and occasionally tasteless writing does the game no favours either.

In its current state it's like leaving a movie in the middle. I could only recommend it if they get a pack with the entire saga to enjoy the story in its full splendor.

Devil's Hunt delivers surprisingly good presented fights between heaven and hell which loses quickly nearly all of its appeal because of the generic gameplay. If you can live with clunky gameplay and minimalistic animations and riddles you can still take a look at the game.

Devil’s Hunt is a significantly clumsier game than its premise and marketing suggest, feeling like a series of linear Final Fantasy XIII corridors interrupted only by combat that plays like a poor man’s version of Batman: Arkham Asylum‘s freeflow system. Those who can appreciate jankiness will likely find something to enjoy, but those expecting Devil’s Hunt to live up to its considerable promise are bound to be disappointed.

By the end of Devil's Hunt, I was left disappointed in the game, but really interested in the studio. I wouldn't recommend Devil's Hunt to anyone - the gameplay is not fun, the story is decent, but the acting and delivery is messy, and the performance is an issue. The game looks alright, but you can get that from a YouTube video, no need to spend money on this. However, I would recommend that you keep an eye on Layopi Games. With a bigger budget and more time, they have the potential to churn out something special.

If they can sort the performance issues out, this might be a decent game to play on Switch, but only if you really enjoy button-mashing action/adventure. I just can’t see a reason to pick it up on PC or traditional home consoles when there are so many better alternatives.

Despite looking like a full-on action game, Devil’s Hunt focuses on its story and narrative heavily. While cutscenes are often used in this game, I never felt like they were too much nor too long and was well balanced between fighting scenes and story elements. This game is very linear and thus, it’s impossible to get stuck, and the gameplay is fairly easy as well. Sadly, Devil’s Hunt has a few graphical and framerate issues, but it has decent visuals overall. That being said, I can highly recommend Devil’s Hunt if you enjoy a narrative-driven game with battle elements throughout.

In the modern video game industry, so many games have released that have done the formula attempted to be tackled by Devil’s Hunt in a much better way. Look at Devil May Cry. Look at Bayonetta. Look at Prototype. Hell, look at Dante’s Inferno. So many games have released and been really fun to play through while keeping gamers engaged and having strong gameplay mechanics and loops. None of that is found here with Devil’s Hunt. While there are small, very small, amounts of fun to be had, it quickly fades away within the first hour, leaving the remaining four hours to be a bore.

The developers have tried to make a good game. You will have fun in some sarcastic and ironic scenes. Once you get a new ability and unlock a new combo, it will be fun, but that doesn't take long and repetitive and stereotypes start very quickly. Poor optimalization, an boring story, lengthy and boring passages. All this show that this game just landed flat.

Devil's Hunt is a below average title that feels like a parody of Devil May Cry. Feel free to pass on it.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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