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.

The ABSOLUTE definition of easy to play, difficult to master. Peak graphics, peak enemies, peak sfx, peak gameplay where less is more. ABSOLUTELY buy this one.
Feels like this game hates the player: -no crosshair -small arena with no walls -it's dark like in satan's ass -literally 1 hp so you die to any random crappy small skull that spawned behind you and you didn't see Which leads to death feeling unfair, but deep down you know it's your fault so you keep coming back and improving little by little, which feels good. So if you're into this kind of masochistic self-improvement cbt experience then you'll like this game
I'm so bad at this game and yet this is one of the games that has struck me the most, visually. The monster design, the audio, everything about this game is amazing. It's an arena shooter but you only have that one arena and that one weapon. Get good. Looking at the top player replays is absolutely mesmerizing.
