Steep difficulty curve may not appeal to casual players
Devil Daggers is a first-person shooter video game developed and published by indie development team Sorath. Players are tasked with surviving for as long as possible against swarms of demonic enemies on an arena shrouded in darkness. The player character can fire daggers from their fingers to eliminate foes and move about to avoid contact with them. The player dies upon touching an enemy, and as time passes, more threatening creatures begin to appear. Survival times are recorded on a global leaderboard where replays of playthroughs can be accessed and viewed. The deliberate use of unfiltered textures and effects like polygon jitter and texture warping make its visual style reminiscent of early 3D games released in the 1990s.
Runs well on modern hardware.

An incredibly hardcore game that borders on maddening. It manages to come full circle. It's so frustrating that you eventually stop seeing it as a bad game and start appreciating it for what it is. The extreme difficulty and deliberately harsh, unappealing visuals are clearly part of the game's core design. I've got every achievement in Super Meat Boy, yet there's still one achievement in this game that I simply can't unlock.
It's very simple. You shoot the baddies and you keep moving. You die a lot. You get incrementally better. Games are short and fun. I bought this on sale and it was money well spent!
Is being terribly inefficient at the game considered farming
