#RECORD TIME FOR DEVIL DAGGERS MOVIE#
‘Hellraiser’ Movie Review: David Bruckner’s Pinhead Is a Satisfyingly Gory Return to Form Drew Starkey as Trevor | Spyglass Media Group Bruckner recognizes many of the calling cards to Hellraiser and delivers on them.The mechanics are simple but more extensive than they were in Devil Daggers, making Hyper Demon feel like more than just the same game with different rules. The more enemies slain in a shorter amount of time, the higher your score will rise, and the bigger the enemy the bigger the score. Scoring in Hyper Demon isn’t about how long you can survive, but how quickly you can slay the multitude of beasts surrounding you. The world record for survival is a mere 20 minutes, and on the first attempt you’d have been lucky to last seconds. Having said that, Devil Daggers still brought its own level of intensity. as in Devil Daggers, brings with it a whole new set of risks, and an aggressive play style is essential when the only other alternative is failure. Seeking out enemies rather than avoiding them. Almost as if you’ve been thrust back to 1993’s Doom, by means of a magic mushroom. The music is captivating, the oil slick colour palette swirling within the game’s title is beautiful, and yet there’s a level of simplicity that makes it clear the focus here is purely on gameplay. Killing enemies spawns more enemies, as your reflexes and your ability to crowd control are tested to their limit.įrom the moment the game starts, Hyper Demon is ethereal, weird, wonderful, and exciting. There’s no story in Hyper Demon, which is refreshing in itself, just the knowledge that every kill you get extends the in-game timer, which starts at 10 seconds and begins ticking down immediately – with the goal simply to have the most time left on the clock when you die. With limited mechanics to defend yourself, it becomes a race against time to rack up enough of a score to stay in the fight. You’re thrust into a blank, open space filled with eerie, multicoloured enemies that will relentlessly throw themselves at you. Its predecessor, Devil Daggers, was all about survival and staying alive, whereas this experience is concerned with how fast you can kill. Despite how unique it seems, though, Hyper Demon is actually a sequel. There’s no gathering of new weapons, no levelling up, no trading, just learning how the game works and the best tactics to destroy as many enemies in your path as you can, in as quick a time as possible. It might seem intimidating at first, and it is, but the feeling of power and invincibility from a great run is genuinely euphoric.
A swirling storm of light and colour envelops you the further you progress into its surreal depths.
Hyper Demon is a first person shooter but it has precisely nothing in common with Call Of Duty, Fortnite, or any other big name franchise you might care to mention. The most enjoyable first person shooter of the year is also the strangest, with a psychedelic speedrunner that demands ‘just one more go’. Hyper Demon – you’d got to see it first-hand (pic: Sorath)
