Devil’s Hunt

I like it. Mindless fun. Don't see why so many negative comments. It's not meant to be an AAA game or even AA.. but it's fun.. game gets straight into it. No long boring cutscenes. No dumb unless dialogue. You get straight into beating up monsters. And it's cheap.. some people wana complain about everything. If it's not your genre then move on and don't wreck it for everybody else. Too many crybabies around these dayz

This is a game I would love for Nightdive to get a hold of to fix and improve to make this game truly shine.
This game is awesome- but only if you like good jank type games. Those C or D tier games like Bullet Witch, Velvet Assassin, Deadly Premonition, etc. The GOOD jank. If this game came out on Xbox 360 (and ran better) I think it would've done really well.
Yes the game crashes. And performance kinda stinks. There's no workarounds or even a fan mod to fix that which I think is unfortunate. I almost uninstalled after just 5 minutes because of it crashing. In about 2 hours it crashed 3 or 4 times but after that it was fine.
I played on casual which is considered medium difficulty. There's also story (easy) and hard. The environments are really cool to look at. I enjoyed how linear the game is and the section of non-combat running though areas being able to check out the cool areas. *The combat gets miles better when you focus more on using the powers and abandoning or seldomly using light and heavy attacks.* The voice acting is bad but it's like the voice actors are going way out there comfort zone and delivering the lines in an almost unintentionally funny way. Cutscenes direction is weird, but it's all very entertaining. Awkwardly having to "do the thing" aka push a button to climb up/jump down/ go through the hole/ open the door stuff. Lots of spectacle. Mostly easy and straightforward achievements (I got 22/30). Mindless fun. It's the GOOD jank!!!

This game is definitely incomplete yet I would recommend it... to some people.
Let me start by what it is: A cinematic, linear action game trying to be a hellish Uncharted with a sprinkle of God of War.
It features lots of cinematics, beautiful environments, a varied cast and a story that would work well (as to why it doesn't read on).
On a basic mechanical level it is an arena brawler modelled after the Arkham games (with the usual punch-punch-evade-special rhythm). It's serviceable, but not particularly exciting. It's also not the focus of the game, so it's not really that much of an issue. Other than that there's walking through environments, but while there technically is an exploration aspect it's so underdeveloped that I'm just going to pretend that it doesn't exist.
On a graphical level the environments often look great. Sometimes even AAA great. The character models and animation are mostly fine for what they try to be, although the animations could use some more polish and variety. Nothing major, just the odd animation snapping or weird glimmer in a character's hair.
On a technical level it runs fine on a modern PC, so even though performance definitely was an issue in the past it really isn't anymore. There's one known crash bug in a cutscene that apparently can only be resolved by skipping that cutscene, but other than that I had no issues playing the game.
So what are the main issues. Well, mainly the presentation... and I don't mean the graphics... remember, this is a very linear game... almost a movie. And when judged as a movie script characters and editing are way off. It also ends not on just a cliffhanger, but a pretty much random point in the story where they were obviously running out of time.
So let's go through this one by one:
1. Main character
Note that I'm not complaining about the voice or mocap actor. And not about the character design either (although it could use some work, but if presented differently it wouldn't be much of an issue). No, it's about his lines and actions. The way he is presented is supposed to make him look cool but instead he comes off as a narcistic, superficial, dumb whiny b*tch. It's so bad that I sometimes got annoyed at other characters treating him well. And that's coming from somebody who usually doesn't roleplay games, so I can only imagine how it is for people who usually play as their avatar.
2. Editing
That's mostly about the cutscenes... You can see they were missing a capable director. It's not bad, but no matter if it's visually or about the timing or about the audio cues and music. There's always something off. You can see the ambition and hey, it's a great first attempt, but this rough cut contrasts starkly against the wonderful environments and mostly good characters. It also fails spectacularly at adding weight to events which then manifests itself as the main character being a total douchebag because he's presented obsessing over non-issues while everything that would explain his behaviour happens off-screen.
3. Pacing
Like I said the exploration aspect is nearly non-existent and the battles are simple arena brawls. So the problem is mostly about how cutscenes, walks and brawls interact and the long and short of it is... they simply repeat. Walk, brawl, walk, brawl, cutscene. Repeat 4 to 6 times then switch location. There really is no pacing and that's what breaks the game. It's really just repeating. The whole thing feels like as if a soap opera team was given access to ILM so they put out a visual spectacle, but you can always see the aimlessness of the soap opera format shining though.
In summary: This really isn't a good game, but it is interesting in the way it fails and for that I am actually grateful and I had a lot of fun exploring these issues as they unfolded while the visual presentation kept me engaged enough to keep playing. And that's why I'm absolutely recommending this game for anybody who is interested in script writing or game development.

as of now the game stands in a tough place, but i don't see it deserving all this negativity and hate that it got,
yes there are many aspects where the game is falling and lacking but not that excessive so trying to bring it some justice.
movement and combat may be weird at first and you might not like the prompt style starting out but you'll get used to it but the benefit of this that it made the game straight to the point, you don't waste time trying find the way or explore uninterested areas, etcetera. other than that the game has a nice interesting long story(not best just nice and sadly unfinished), characters and some cool animations, skills, graphics at some areas and the levels design and scenery are top notch.
so don't let the reviews stop you if you wanna try it out yes it has performance issues and poor optimization but that doesn't make it unplayable and it gets better with time, i'd also imagine with modern days hardware you will encounter even less issues.
in conclusion it's a nice game with interesting story but it lacks the AAA polish and smoothness as it isn't one,
try to imagine it as a pre-2010 game at best in terms of overall quality.

Graphics are nice, and monsters looks pretty cool. But the combat a little bad, takes some time to get use to. For old game its not too terrible. Need a fast pc.

I just finished the game only thing i can say is the story I really want them make a pt 2 of this game frfr. I enjoyed the story of the game but gameplay wasn't there, if they bring a pt 2 they need work on some things from pt 1.

An Action-Adventure and very much high-dynamic game with it's own good looking setting. Would you become Saviour or Destroyer? Or maybe there is the other option?
