About

From famed Ninja Gaiden designer Tomonobu Itagaki comes an east-meets-west blend of ninja-style melee combat and modern gunplay oozing with savage action. Wage fierce fortress combat in a unique, clan-based online* multiplayer mode. Or go it alone as Ivan, a brutal ex-mercenary, and survive his all-out war of vengeance…for a guitar. The online* Siege Mode lets you create and manage your own clan to compete for power and influence. Customize fortresses to give your clan the advantage when defending against invaders. Or attack other clan fortresses to conquer their territory and earn clan rewards, like new weapons, customizations, or fortress-building options. There’s also Drill Mode, a combination of traditional and off-the-wall online multiplayer options ranging from free-for-all to team matchups, chicken collecting, and even fruit tossing. You can even earn customizable gear and equipment to create your own look and load out.

    Devil’s Third is not an unplayable game, but it may as well be for all it offers. From the action to the environments, the experience is devoid of personality. The story is a joke, the combat is simplistic, and it only gets worse the deeper you get. If you enjoy playing games that are terrible for a laugh, Devil’s Third is a great candidate – but please don’t interpret that as a recommendation.

    Devils Third has had a very hard life, and it’s nothing short of a miracle that the game ever even released. While some might lament that fact, I’m actually happy to see games of this nature release. It’s not open world, it’s not amazing in its story or setting, it’s not triple A. Yet its gameplay is a unique hybrid indeed, and I’d love to see more companies or teams try their hand at this combination, it’s just that satisfying.

    At best, it’s a curious relic from a bygone era of videogames in terms of both mechanics and attitude. At worst, it’s an ugly and boring game where the most interesting aspect is the prevalence an of inconsistent framerate despite looking like garbage.

    After sensing a sinking ship, Valhalla Game Studios was smart to start development of the free-to-play PC version of Devil's Third. Multiplayer is easily the shining star of the experience, and I can see a lot of people picking it up with the right marketing. That day is not today though, and not with the Wii U version of the game.

    Devil’s Third isn’t so bad it’s good, as many will claim, but rather it is so bad that it beggars belief that at some point during its six-year development time, someone didn’t take it round the back of the shed and put it out of its misery.

    Devil’s Third is an exercise in cynicism, a video game seemingly created for people who secretly hate them. There’s barely even a seed of a good idea here, let alone a fully formed one. There isn’t a single part of Devil’s Third that does not feel as though it were ripped straight from a decade-old playbook, and its nihilistic reliance on simplistic violence reinforces that fact with every severed limb.
