 quote:Devil Daggers is a fast-paced shooter that places you in an abyssal arena to face endless legions of demons. Armed with versatile magic daggers and a fluid movement system, fight to survive as long as you can.    You ever wish Quake had an arena mode? This is about as close as you'll get. Devil Daggers pits you against waves of skulls, horned skulls, spider skulls, skull serpents, and other skull-based horrors in a quest to see how long you can hold out. Your only weapons are the eponymous Devil Daggers, which you can shoot in a rapid stream or blast out in shotgun-like bursts (and maybe another way if you live long enough...). Your best time is posted to a global leaderboard, along with a full replay for the world to watch and laugh at. There's no story mode or multiplayer, just you versus endless eldritch abominations in a test of skill, endurance, and strategy. Some enemies drop gems that can power up your weapons if you collect enough, but you have to stop shooting to grab them and there are enemies that would love to gobble them up. The game is lovingly rendered in chunky software 3D to give it that extra Quake 1 feel, and there's even rocket jumping if you get good with the shotgun blast. You'll probably last a good 30-45 seconds the first few times you play, but the current leaders are fighting it out around the 8-minute mark. Store Page Pick it up right now for a mere $5 and get murdered by skulls over and over! Goon Group Join up so we can all add each other and fight over who can not get murdered by skulls the longest!

Random tips: -Tab enables the timer. You can use it to see when stuff is about to spawn. For example: the first infester always spawns at 39 seconds and the first eviscerator always spawns at 115 seconds. Knowing how much time you have left before another wave of stuff spawns is really helpful. -Getting every crystal that drops before the 200 second mark is extremely important as the game becomes basically impossible if you don't have lvl 3 daggers by then. -You can often kill everything that spawns out of a purger (the small spawner) by aiming in the middle at the bottom of the tentacles. You can kill some of the stuff that comes out of sacrificers (the big spawners) the same way but since the opening the minions come from is larger it's a lot less consistent. -Spamming jumps lets you move faster.

Don't hold down the trigger. If you're not shooting, the power up crystals will hover over to you. If you're shooting the whole time you won't be getting the crystals you need and will quickly fall behind.

Prioritize killing the giant spider. It steals crystals, and usually spawns right around when you have 8 or 9 just to gently caress with you and prevent you from getting the first upgrade.

I haven't played this game yet, but it looks quite AGITATING! Is this really software rendered, or is the light banding and whatnot done through shaders or something?

This might be one of the hardest games I've ever played - in a good way! Easily worth five bucks on steam. It also sounds close to what I think hell would sound like.

I actually might pick this up since it's just a fiver. It's giving me some Skulltag Survival vibes. Specifically, it's reminding me of this one mode that had gimmick'd maps and you just killed a lot of things, including some pretty creepy spider things in the dark.

The best I've done so far is 102 seconds. Managing the spawners and clouds of skulls is really important, I can deal with everything up to the first skull-spider reliably, but after that sometimes I just get overwhelmed.

I was really proud of the moment I hit 93 seconds, I can't really imagine how to break through the 100 mark. That moment when a double spawner, a spider and aggros skulls all show up at once is insane.

The only thing that gets me with any regularity are those laughing skulls with the spiky horns from the larger spawners. If you lose track of them they're guaranteed to get you. I feel like the most important thing is learning to kill the spiders asap. The skull swarms are manageable (especially after your first upgrade) but when a spider shows up you have to kill it immediately, and their weak point is hard to hit if you're any distance from them.

Feeling like a major chump here, I'm only at 93 seconds, but being in the top 1/4th of all players feels pretty good. All of my runs earlier today were garbage so I decided to cool off for a bit. I've gotten pretty good at killing the spider and securing the first upgrade ASAP but if I miss the spider on my first pass, I will almost assuredly gently caress up kiting the skulls and get blindsided.ShadowMar posted:i've never seen these in any replays

200 secs here, which means I get to use the third dagger upgrade for about 5 seconds before I get wrecked by all the giant spiders that warp in. Basically gently caress spiders.

This game is really good and addictive. I was worried it would get a little stale since you're just on a featureless dinner plate, but you're worried about so much other stuff that you don't even notice. My best run is a fraction of second shy of 2:30, but most of them end up being half that or less. Game is hard. And full of skulls.
