Devil’s Hunt

While not perfect and sadly suffering from some technical issues that will never get fixed due to the studio shutting down, the game has a interesting story, great visuals and serviceable gameplay.
It was obviously produced on a small budget, if you can look past that you will have a good time! It's a neat and relatively short (~6.5 hours) experience, so it's great to play in between longer games for example.
Be aware there is one game breaking bug towards the beginning. The game exits into a fatal crash during a cutscene. The publisher's suggestion for a fix is to skip the cutscene and sadly that's also the only solution that has worked for me. At least it wasn't one of the vital ones. Still, sad the devs never had the chance to patch this and also work on the continuation =/

Amazing story, great beat em up, easy to play, good graphics, ok music.

Yea it's pretty good for what it is, the dialogue is mid, the music is mid, the game crashes once in awhile, and there was a bug that wouldn't let me pick up Muriel's note to expand the Void skill tree. The game is a fun time though, the pacing of the story reminds me of a Netflix show and while the combos in this are simple when compared to other 3D brawlers on the market its more satisfying comboing the spells you unlock throughout the game, the tools for combat compliment each other well enough. Also the game is extremely generous with checkpoints which bandaids the crashing issues. This is that AA gem game you'd come across in gens past, but don't see much in 8th gen, I got it on sale and it's a pretty good time if you can snag for $5 or lower.

Devil's Hunt is an okay action, hack and slash game although I can definitely see why it has a lot of negative reviews; so let's get into the story. In Miami a young man named Desmond has it all, a nice house, a good job, a best friend and a beautiful girlfriend he's going to propose too, yeah life is going good for him. But his day is about to turn into a nightmare, losing his job, losing in an underground fight and worst of all losing his girlfriend Desmond’s life is completely unraveling and after committing suicide he finds himself in hell.
But Lucifer says he doesn't have to be in hell he can give him a job as an executioner, a being that is tasked to reap the souls of evildoers and send them to hell, but like life, the afterlife is just as complicated and gray and Desmond must figure it out away to escape from this contract, but he also must figure out why everyone is calling him the savior and destroyer, but to accomplish this task he must fight literally like hell to do so.
Well now the likes, the gameplay is okay and I get what the developers were trying to do, basically you fight demons with your bear demonic hands delivering devastating punches while also using magic attacks and finishers, it's a good concept and it is a little bit entertaining, but there are ways that could have been a lot better with it, but I will talk about it in the dislikes.
The story was okay, it's pretty simple man goes to hell but finds out he's part of a prophecy that hints at a bigger plot, it does use a lot of clichés but I didn't mind that. The graphics were good, nice use of color, shading especially for the various parts of hell and the animation. The levels were good each one was a little bit visually different and quite nice to look it, especially hell.
The enemies and bosses were good each one had their own unique looks; I also enjoyed the character designs of the damn souls and demons. The characters were good I kind of like Lucifer, he was kind of cool but I think my favorite has to be Sawyer he's just badass.
The music was okay nothing to rememberable, it was ultimately serviceable. The voice acting was fine some of it was good like with Lucifer and Sawyer, others not so much like Desmond and his best friend. The notes were okay, easy to read and some were a good bit funny, I also enjoyed the collectible art you can unlock it was quite good to see the proto versions of the characters and the levels.
Well now the dislikes, while I said the gameplay was okay it does get a bit repetitive and dull I also didn't really care for the blocking system, I feel like an Arkham/Mad Max styled gameplay l would have been better for this type of game. Also while I said the story was okay it did have some contradictions and a few parts were I was like wait a second why doesn't this character just do this, like in one part of the story we're supposed to get the blood of this extremely powerful executioner named Muriel that everybody wants including Lucifer.
But here's the thing the blood isn't like in a super secret hiding place or protected by some super powerful monster, no it's actually in hell and that made me go wait a second why didn't Lucifer just go get it, it was right there, it’s not like it’s made from some magical alloy that burns anyone that Muriel does not deem worthy to hold it.
It's these little deus ex machina things in the story and some parts that needed to be expanded upon that really hurts the story, also the story ends on a cliffhanger/to be continued which wouldn't be so bad, but due to the poor reception of the game I don't think the story will ever be finished.
There’s also plenty of bugs in the game, nothing really game breaking though except for this one cutscene when Desmond first arrives and meets a hunting demon and then the game just crashed for some reason, it's only in this cutscene those. The rest of the cutscenes are fine, well the cutscene for the end of the game crashed on me, but it only happened to me once and that was when I hit continue. But anyway you can skip that introduction to the hunter demon.
Now I know I said the notes were okay, but the problem with them is the fact that you can't take them with you, like say in the Resident Evil when you pick up a note you take it with you and you can look at it whenever you want, but for some reason you can't really do that with these notes.
I also would have liked some of the enemies have bit more variety when it comes to looks I know I said the enemies and bosses are good, but I do wish like some of the common enemies had hair or had different colored clothing you know something to diversify them a bit. And finally I feel like the price is a bit too high, I think 10 bucks would have been way better than 15.
Okay then with that said Devil's Hunt is an okay action, hack and slash game although I can definitely see why it has a lot of negative reviews; it has okay gameplay, an okay story and good enemies and bosses.
So I will give this game a thumbs up, but barely, but do I recommend this game not really, maybe if it's on sale and you have patience, but ultimately I feel like you can probably skip this game if you still don’t want to buy it, but I will say if it ever gets a remake and the developers address a lot of these issues and give the game some Arkham/Mad Max style gameplay I think the game would be a lot better received.

It gives me a feeling of Devil may cry 5 and I really like that, unfortunately it doesn't come close to the same quality at all, it had potential, the idea is interesting but badly put into practice, I understood that it was made by a developer with a very low budget it's somehow understandable, the characters are horribly made, they almost move in cutscenes, the combat is not bad but it's not good, I still give it a thumbs up because it gave me the feeling even if I'm vague about what Devil May Cry 5 is one of my favorite games.

I received this game in a Fanatical.com bundle with 3 other games, so I did get my money's worth. With that being said do not buy this game for full price, the developer has shut down and there are no updates incoming. This is a relatively decent looking abandoned indie game. I enjoyed this title technical glitches and all, this is an unpretentious action game with lots of action and women in tight clothes. I enjoyed this game for what it is and that's all.

I had fun in this game. I got in in bundle. Get it on sales.
