Devil's Hunt Reviews

Devil's Hunt is ranked in the 6th percentile of games scored on OpenCritic.
Jan 7, 2020

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

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.

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.

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.

Devil's Hunt has a poor plot and characters, but it's pretty and playable.

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tries to aim high, with a great attention for details in the story department, the technical aspect is terrible and outdated, and the gameplay feels boring and repetitive.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's battle between the forces of Heaven and Hell can be visually stunning, but highly unpolished at times.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

A Good Vs Evil ARPG as The Devil's Soul Collectors or Gods Earthly Protector.

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.
