No longer a Verified Owner for a reason
Now, I decided to try this game even if the whole aesthetic and edgelord presentation were putting me off, because the gameplay looked like fun. It's not. Seriously. This game is poorly optimized if you want (or have) to play it using keyboard + mouse (I can no longer blindly accept the old excuse of "some games just play better with a gamepad, so buy one!", when SO MANY TPP titles play marvellously using the standard PC peripherals). This game tries to be a bunch of different stuff at once, but only manages to nail one of those aspects -- sadly, the one I dislike. It tries to be Darksiders, but without the cartoony charm or the deep, interesting lore; it tries to be Devil May Cry, but without the actual campy coolness and -- especially -- the engaging fluidity of control and movement; it also tries to be a "young adult fiction" video game, with all the cringe that entails, and this seems to be the only thing it does manage to be. So, if you enjoy that kind of media, Devil's Hunt might be for you. If, on the other hand, you don't really care about (or downright dislike) YA fiction media, there's absolutely nothing in this game for you. It takes itself too seriously when the story and characters are either too cringe-inducing or way too bland. The voice acting doesn't help, as it feels very amateurish, and the writing is some of the poorest I've come across since the "Engrish" days. I can't bring myself to rate it one star, even though I wanted to, because I've honestly played way worse games, and, like I said, if you do enjoy young adult fiction, this game might have something in it for you. Do bear in mind, though, that the kb+m controls are appalling, movement and combat feel extremely clunky, there seems to be a very noticeable delay from the moment you press a key and see the action played out onscreen. The gameplay itself isn't very engaging, you're better off just picking up a Darksiders or DMC title -- yes, even Ninja Theory's DmC is WAY better than this.
Hilft dir das weiter?
