CROSSBOW: Bloodnight

Devil daggers but without the cool art style, the cool hidden mechanics and no movement tech. Not very good.

Devil Daggers's genius lies in its simplicity and hidden depth, such as where the arena itself never changes, but rather the enemies ARE the arena that constantly evolves with your own progression. The sound design makes you feel as though you have a sixth sense. You're able to tell the position of the demons, and WHICH demon it is, without ever having to actually look at them. The mechanics are lacking until you realise just how versatile and multi-purpose they can actually be. Seemingly little things like this are what made DD, a deceptively barebones game, a layered, rewarding and challenging experience that lets you enter a sublime zen state locked between crushing tension. Crossbow Bloodnight..it doesn't have an original bone in its body and forgoes all that I mentioned above.

Crossbow is like a hundred guns.

The game does one thing. But it does it good.

devil daggers easy mode. great way to try to train yourself to get better at this genre. unfortunately people are downvoting it because they can't 100% it.

I guess I just suck bad at Boomer Shooters and Arena shooters cause this game kicks my a$$. I bought it to 100% it for Achievements, but I can't even get to the Boss fight. I give up.
