A pinball video game hasn’t grabbed me like this since Pokemon Pinball or Space Cadet. Great aesthetics and chunky, crunchy game feel. I’ve never had a tilt function feel so good.

I got 42M high score early and was always trying to beat it. I never did… I’ll keep returning occasionally in the hopes of doing so.

Ujasněme si jednu věc hned zpočátku. Je zde pouze jeden stůl za bratru pět stovek. Ano, ten stůl je velmi dobře nadesignován, má tolik "obsahu" a variant skórování, že i po mnoha a mnoha hodinách lze stále objevovat nová zákoutí. Jenže to se v rámci žánru tak nějak očekává.

Co ho odlišuje od kupříkladu vynikajícího Pinball FX3, který překypuje (pravda placeným; i tak však nejsme na stokorunách za stůl) obsahem? Sázkou na kvalitu, designem a chytlavou hratelností. To sice Pinball FX3 rovněž nabízí, ale musíte vědět, po kterém stolu šáhnout. Pokud půjdete na blind, hrozí že se trefíte do nudného balastu.

Dále si Demon´s Ti... Ehm, vlastně DEMON'S TILT nehraje na "jakože fyzický stůl, fyziku a plasticitu". Naopak je čistě digitální a 2D, dává nostalgicky vzpomenout na časy 16-bitových kultovních pinballů z Nintend, Amig a PCček. A tak jsou zde souboje "à la Space Invaders" a tuna dalších nápadů.

Bitová i osmdesátkově metalová stylizace tomu sedne. Až na jeden problém, který je zcela zásadní, pro mnohé to potopí, ale přesto z něho plyne v podstatě největší klad. (ne)Přehlednost obrazu. Tolik balastu, částic, blikání, výbuchů, skóre... Nic pro epileptiky. Víte jak pinbally, když se vám daří, spustí multiball mód? Nejde se v něm vyznat, ukočírovat ho. Jenže jde o záměr, chvilkové inferno za odměnu a pak návrat k normálu. Tak tady je to s jednou kuličkou to samé. O momentech, kdy jich máte ukočírovat vícero, ani nemluvě. Je to zdánlivě ubíjející vizuální bordel, kde kuličku uvidíte jednou za uherský rok. Ne-li za dva. Což je u hry, která je pouze a jen o cvrnkání do kuličky, jak jistě uznáte, poněkud problém.

Jenže není. Velmi záhy to "dostanete do ruky" a budete to plnohodnotně hrát čistě citem. Stejně tak jako se dva sehraní fotbalisté najdou poslepu zády k sobě, stejně tak jako se vyznáte na reklamami posetém ledě, kde puk není vidět, ale z pohybu hráčů přesně víte kde je, tak tady je to shodné. Kuličku sice neuvidíte, ale její pohyb dle efektů, síly úderu apod. zcela mimoděk vám během několika málo her přejde do krve.

Ve výsledku tak je největší překážkou zmíněná cena vůči množství obsahu. To si však každý musí vyhodnotit sám. Za mě snad jen tolik, že jde o sakra dobrý pinball, který vám vydrží pěkně dlouho než se ohraje. Pokud se vůbec kdy ohraje, protože ke všem dobrým pinballům se dá opakovaně vracet i po letech. A k tomuhle se vracet (chtít) budete.

Stellar experience on the Deck. I'm terrible at pinball but the action is so frenetic here that it makes me want to learn to get better. Very excited for Xeno Tilt, the follow-up

Think I could get Lilith's number?

Going to go out on a limb and say developer Wiznwar really liked Devil's Crush, because this sure looks like a send up to Demon's Crush. Even the name is about as close as you could get without being litigious, like how 1/6 scale figure bootleggers will rename licensed characters. This is clearly The Green Goblin from the Raimi Spider-Man movies, but please, if you would just refer to him as The Fiend.

Demon's Tilt is set up in an interesting way with its very long, very vertical table, which is divided into three tiers with their own demons and unique set of "rituals." These rituals are required to make progress, but mostly amount to the typical pinball stuff of hitting x number of bumpers or getting the ball up a certain ramp. Where the game really shines is in its presentation. The sprite art is excellent and the soundtrack is extremely invocative of the Yamaha YM2612. However, I can image some people finding this game to be a tad unreadable with how far back the camera is and how many effects are popping off. Without tweaking some settings, you might find it a little too easy to lose track of your ball, although zooming in and adding a trailing effect does help tremendously.

Unlike Flipnic and Akira Psycho Ball, there is no progression between tables. You just get the one, and that's fine. Each tier offers enough to keep the game exciting, and while I may not find myself sitting down and committing serious time to playing this thing, it is perfect if you want to kill an hour or so on a lazy afternoon. Just be careful about what order you complete rituals, it is possible to summon an actual pinball demon. He refuses to leave my home, he's already consumed a whole entire priest, and he's set up a Black Night 3000 table in my bedroom and plays it all hours of the night. Flames and spiders poured from his mandibles as he told me in a dead tongue that I'll be cast into Pinball Hell and damned to play Shaq Attack until my fingers whittle to bone, I hate him!!


DEMON'S TILT es un juego pinball con tremendo temazo, una temática divertida, y un sistema de puntos legible, eso ya son puntazos en mi top inexistente de juegos pinball.
Siendo alguien que se pasaba sus buenas horas tratando de mejorar en 3D Space Cadet en la PC con Windows XP de mi padre, me puedo ver viciándome a este juego de cuando en cuando. Solo tengo un problema con el juego, y es que hay momentos en los que siento que hay demasiadas cosas en pantalla, por lo que me costaba concentrarme en seguir la bola, pero supongo que esto se puede arreglar con un poco de costumbre.

Si buscas un juego de pinball frenético, divertido, y con potencial de ser tu nuevo vicio, este es tu juego.

(¡¡Cuidado si tienen epilepsia!! Este juego tiene montones de partículas y proyectiles y muchas cosas sucediendo a la vez en pantalla, háganle caso a la advertencia al inicio, stay safe <3)





Haven't played pinball in an age, but this was a lot of fun. Took me a couple dozen tries to crack a billion points, and I felt like I had accomplished my goal at that point. The harder difficulties are a little too frustrating for me. I don't wanna spend a bunch of time getting good at aiming, i just wanna hit ball with flipper make lights flash.

Ich bin kein großer Flipperspieler, aber der hier wirkt spaßig. Nahezu alles bringt Punkte und scheppert, und es fühlt sich nicht so unfair an, in die Rinnen links und rechts zu rutschen.
dennoch.. habe ich keine Ahnung, was das Ziel ist :D

Obvious inspiration from 1990's Devil's Crush, another demonic pinball game. This is the most batshit pinball you'll ever play. With so many particles and projectiles, I could see epilepsy being a genuine concern.

But its a load of fun. On my PC, its easy to start up for a few rounds. Scratches the same itch as the 3D Space Cadet pinball game. But its a lot more elaborate in scope with its objectives - defeating bosses, aiming to load the balls into a drum, teleportation, etc. It's great.

it's pinball.
pinball with a ripping soundtrack, and a legible scoring system, and some fun ideas. it's good pinball! i liked it!
i also don't know how much time i want to invest in getting good at pinball. like, definitely some! i got a little better at nudging the table this time around!
but in general, yeah, i set my goals (finish all the rituals on each level) and didn't quite get there (That top level is hard to stay on!) but my score went up impressively. ok! see ya!

REALIDAD MAXIMA EN LOS JUEGOS DE PINBALL

This game fucking rips. Pinball is the coolest game ever made.

I bought an arcade stick to play this game better. It was worth it.

Oozing with style, edge and references to the occult, this Devil's Crush spiritual successor succeeds at what it sets out to do, but still feels as though it lacks something.

The art direction and sound design is immaculate but at the end of the day, it is simply just pinball with extra steps.

On top of that, it is just one board to play on, so the base price of it is hard to justify. I imagine it's a fun game to put on every now and again, but not something you'd play regularly.

It's pinball. It only has one table, but it's a very long and good table that looks cool.

Fun Pinball game, wish there was more than one board. Had a great time playing it overall!

Should come pre installed on all computers like Space Cadet

pinball and fighting games. I'm not good at em, I just like em

La idea sobre el papel es buena, mezclar pinball con una temática divertida y elementos de shump. En la práctica, demasiadas cosas en pantalla a la vez para un buen pinball.

Sounds like someone purchased the Jenna Maroney sound pack from the Tracy Jordan porno game that was super popular a few years back

Pinball with demons? Cool but damn it, it's fucking pinball

nunca conheci na minha vida uma pessoa que não ironicamente joga esses jogos de pinball. é por isso que amo esse site.
