Devil’s Hunt

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.

First up: This game has a lot of bad reviews at the moment.
And to be honest, this is one of the only games that has bad reviews that I have played. Normally, I wouldn't bother.
But after I played it, I must say: There are much worse games out there, this game is not great, either in story or gameplay but it's not bad either. The game feels very rushed and oversaturated at the end, just to make it a bit longer. But honestly, the parts I like and dislike the most are the cutscenes and overall story. They are so stereotypical and bad comedy that I actually laughed out loud (in a good way) but they tried to make it serious and that kills it immediately. If they would have ridden this bad comedy with stereotypes it would be a good time, even if the gameplay kinda sucks.

The cutscenes are the good part of this game, and that's why I still recommend it. I had some fun, and it was a game, so good job I guess.

Else: I encountered only one bug twice, where the audio engine crashed the game during a cutscene, but since there is a skip cutscene button, it was not a big problem. Playtime is up to 7-9 hours.

Clunky-but-punchy combat, fantastic graphics and a (linear) story that takes a little too long to get going. Worth checking out if you like beat-em-ups. There's a decent game here, under the Euro-jank. Be prepared for some occasional CTDs.
5/10 - average (but a decent first effort)
Total size on my hard-drive: 22GB
fyi The game ends with "to be continued." Unfortunately, developer Layopi Games closed soon after launch, so no sequel is coming.

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.

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