Starring the titular character John Devildaggers, a sentient hand that can only communicate by propelling daggers out of his palm you must try and find your way in today's world where nobody understands that shootings daggers out of yourself is not an act of hate, but an act of.. love.
NAH.
Devil Daggers is a FPS built in an engine designed to make it look like a Quake 1 era game and the only objective is to survive as long as you can. It's an old school twitch shooter complete with bunny hopping and rocket jumps where touching ANYTHING means death. Have you been looking for a game that measure time to the fourth decimal place? Look no further!
Like I said the objective is to survive and to do that everything else must die, the game spawns in progressively tougher and tougher monsters in a set pattern, I think everything outside the lowest level enemy drops a red gem upon death, these gems are used to power up your ability to throw daggers. Your score is measured in seconds you stayed alive and the game has global leaderboards as well as automatic replays of every run that are viewable in game.
Tips I have so far:
Walking forward is actually the slowet thing you can do, you want to be strafing. Everything is faster than your forward walk speed
Getting to 10 gems is absolutely critical as that is your first power upgrade.
The giant skull spiders MUST die as soon as possible, they suck up your gems to spawn smaller spiders.
Firing daggers actively repels gems while staying your hand attracts gems.
Press R at any point to fast restart.
I really recommend headphones as the sound design does a phenomonal job telling you what is currently happening. You can tell where and when something spawns and just how close you are to having something bite the back of your head off.
Watching video is what sold me so here, have one of the best if not still the current best runs of this game:
