DCXMAS25

Devil's Third is available for $37.43 at Dungeon Crawl with the holiday code : DCXMAS25 . Original deal

Its an enjoyable underrated title, basically a game in the vein of the cover based Gears of War series, mixed with some Mortal Kombat 4 type of weaponry fighting and agility climbing.

Some learning curve with the abilities/controls but its alot of fun. A bit of a gem for Wii U, cover shooter with a politically incorrect Duke Nukem vibe meets Kill Bill, Evil Dead, Gears of War and Vin Diesel movies.

Disclamer for Muliplayer: Generally you'll find it easier to find matches when Europeans are playing in the late evenings (early mornings) on the servers if your looking for a larger drill group, which can be a downer for some when your very busy, but its a bargain at that price.

Generally the higher ranked / larger teams are online so you can play them in siege matches from the team rank menus when you select their teams for offense matches. If this is a deal breaker, you might want to avoid depending. Game also has a score attack mode for bonuses / a minigame with rewards that carry over to online perks.

Fun for single player, boss battles are rough and tough (not for those with slow reaction time with dodging battles). Multiplayer is neat as well. The main Multiplayer mode is deep. The creator recommends the Pro Controller, but using the Gamepad is fine with index fingers on the bumper buttons. Gamepad has ranking, text chat, etc. Game has auto-cover and an additional lower cover button (right thumbstick).

  Good price if you've seen the trailers/reviews and still want it

    Yeah, thats cool, i think some will go for it, some won't. Which is understandable. I dont think the reviews were particularly objective, generally focusing on it being a lost development hell game that was originally for the Xbox 360. Some of the aiming is where there is some issues, but it really isn't a bad game, it has issues with aim but its alot of fun. Some cool features for 3rd person shooter games were included within this (backslide aiming). I can see why some would be apprehensive, but it feels more within the 7, 7.5 to - 8 review category. Could have been alot worse, I get critics were never going to go for the whole action movie cheese either. Its rather funny at times, almost like a grind-house movie.

    I'm inclined to not trust reviews, to be honest considering barely any of them know how to play video games let alone review them. I mean this does look KIND of shoddy and it feels like Itagaki lost all passion with this game a while ago, but they're not the best gauge for quality.

    I've been looking forward to this since it was vapourware but yeah now that I've seen it I'm a bit disappointed in what it is. I mean I don't mind cheaper looking titles but I just don't really like this type of gameplay. I'll definitely give it a go when it gets a bit cheaper, though.

      I agree reviewers / youtubers are a bit detached from the average consumer and gamers feel for a game. No problem, its a bit more broad then say a Ninja Gaiden, the game handles a bit different, more on the cover third person games, but you can jump out and use other techniques where available, throwing and finishing moves like a 90s fighting game. The climbing / running up walls and desending down with a weapon reminded me of the Razor's Edge a little.

      Its more on the sloppier side of brawling games then the tighter, challenging Ninja Gaidens, but it handles more like a cover shooter mixed with a beat em up and a faster adventure game (the parkour, if that makes any sense, those seem to be the hybrids people compare it too). Its fun but ridiculous.

      If your looking for straight up Ninja Gaiden Razors Edge / Ninja Gaiden One, this isn't it, but if you want a cover third person shooter that gives you alot of different options and variety, this would be more up that alley.

      The boss battles are very difficult though, the one thing that felt very Ninja Gaiden like. If you miss 1-2 siderolls you can die instantly. Occasionally the cam goes wacky but you just need to dodge out when it happens…
