i think one of the best free games of all time

Only 20 minutes long and one of the most interesting games I've ever played.

just a really awesome arcade shooter. very cute and awesome.

Fantastic fighting game. Definitely the most fun I've had learning a new game in years. The character variety is pretty unbelievable, almost every character has a unique playstyle or subsystem to play around with. I honestly feel like I would have gotten my money's worth with just the trial and training modes.

Some good shit here I got to say. It's amazing how much effort they did put in this game- And I might say that is probably something that Alfa System made a lot in their golden age- Elemental Gearbolt was my first game from their company, but I'm excited to play any other games from them.
I mean, they put a Drama CD inside the game with a full Side Story for it and a complete glossary with a lot of infodump about its world; If they manage to do so much for a game with 2 hours of gameplay, can't imagine what they may do in a longer game with more opportunity.

There is clear live and care put into the games by the devs, despite the evident lack of budget. I can see myself returning to this game in a year or so and having even more of a blast.

been playing a bunch more of this recently and i've gotta say it's one of the best first person shooters ever made. there's never been a more Pure experience of what the genre really is, in its heart, than devil daggers. incredibly badass game.

no game like this will ever exist again.
visually and sonically so much stronger than any other 3D sonic game past adventure 2. the story is so ridiculous that it becomes some sort of amazing campy mid 2000s dream. it really just owns it too! no cop outs or 4th wall shit. the tone makes it actually fun instead of suffering through something like sonic forces.

i cant put into words how the aesthetic makes me feel. it really is a time capsule of pop culture. i mean taking a risk like giving your beloved childrens character a gun is so batshit. i respect this game so much for just doing whatever the fuck iizuka wanted and being genuine about it. i literally dont know how to express in words how i feel about the style, its absolutely bizarre and i just love it.

so yeah.. the style is unironically good. and the physics are mostly unironically good. it's in the sonic heroes engine which def feels worse than adventure 2 but still pretty nice compared to what comes after lol. this is the last 3D sonic game before they overhauled everything with boost mechanics.
i stand by saying the only good boost game is generations. all the others are pretty mid or bad but ill still try every single one lol. wish they would go back to this kind of level design and physics that are loose but not completely broken. like the pacing & exploration in a sonic adventure style game level just feels much better than the 1-2 minute rigid levels they give us now. feel like theres honestly more momentum platforming pre boost.

thanks for reading my spew about this game that i believe is genuinely misunderstood. lmk in the comments how the intro where sonic falls to his knees while shadow is holding the glock makes you feel
