Since Devil World got added to the Nintendo Switch NES Online, I figured I should give it another shot.

My confused first impression of it was fair, but incorrect. "Why can't I eat the dots?" Get a cross. "How do I beat the bad guys?" Get a cross and press B. I like it now, especially understanding how to actually play it. It's not bad. It's not great either, but interesting for its time. Pac-Man but more convoluted. And worse. Still alright though.

I understand why this game wasn't released in the US back in 1987, the puritans would've probably burst into flames. I, for one, will eat my communion wafers next to my fire-breath-inducing crucifix with great joy.

''Pac-Man but more convoluted'' Never have I've see a more perfect description for this game in my life. I honestly ought to revisit it, it has been a long time since I played it and it's one of those oddities that is really interesting to play as it is to talk about.
