![]() The only logical thing to do, naturally, is to throw yourself back into the hellscape and try again. If anything it only confirms what you already know - that person is an impostor and a charlatan and they don't deserve to be ahead of you. ![]() You can download and watch the replay, if you like, but it doesn't make you feel any better. You start to wonder how they managed it - what fiendish pact did they make with Devil Daggers that helped them luck into a score they patently don't deserve? I know this because I spent a good hour getting increasingly resentful of fellow Eurogamer staffer Ian, who was just 0.1501 seconds ahead of my best time. As you pore over the two leaderboards - Steam friends and global - it's difficult not to develop an intense, roiling hatred for the person one step ahead of you. Those four decimal points weren't included for comedic effect, by the way - Devil Daggers really does give you that exact a time at the end of each run, because it knows full well you're doing to end up obsessing over every single millisecond. Reviewing your score at the end of a run is like coming back from another dimension in which time runs at a different pace - was that really just 58.4539 seconds? Devil Daggers As the ceaseless waves of enemies stack, the seconds stretch into weeks each one a living nightmare in which you're only just able to stay ahead of the pack. Invigorating and infuriating in equal measure, Devil Daggers is a journey of self torment that will do terrible things to your brain.ĭevil Daggers is brutally, gleefully hard.
