"Layopi Studios points with a great ambition to the production of a game that belongs to that forgotten space between indie and Triple-A productions. Devil’s Hunt manages to be a fun and entertaining action game. However, the final result does …"

"In the modern video game industry, so many games have released that have done the formula attempted to be tackled by Devil’s Hunt in a much better way. Look at Devil May Cry. Look at Bayonetta. Look at Prototype. Hell, …"
Read original review"While a decent first effort, Devil’s Hunt simply has too many problems to warrant playing. Clunky combat, a choppy storyline, and numerous graphical and technical issues really bring down the experience."
Read original review"If you can excuse the low budget afforded to everything outside of the combat, Devil&s;s Hunt is a Hell of a good time, and I would recommend this game to fans its inspirations of Dante&s;s Inferno and Ryse: Son of …"
Read original review"Devil&s;s Hunt is a below average title that feels like a parody of Devil May Cry. Feel free to pass on it."
Read original review"A game about the clashing forces of heaven and hell deserves to be far more interesting, if not in gameplay, then at least in story. Devil’s Hunt fails to deliver on both fronts."

"Devil&s;s Hunt delivers surprisingly good presented fights between heaven and hell which loses quickly nearly all of its appeal because of the generic gameplay. If you can live with clunky gameplay and minimalistic animations and riddles you can still take …"

"Ambitions exceed the real resources of the young development studio, creating a title that never finds its balance."
Read original review"Devil’s Hunt is a significantly clumsier game than its premise and marketing suggest, feeling like a series of linear Final Fantasy XIII corridors interrupted only by combat that plays like a poor man’s version of Batman: Arkham Asylum‘s freeflow system. …"
Read original review"This hell is not so fearful and not so funny as it should be. But still good choice for modest players."

"Devil&s;s Hunt&s;s weighty combat and at times beautiful visuals are plagued with inconsistency, and lack the level of polish of the titles it borrows from. The result is an unfulfilling teen drama whose flashes of brilliance aren&s;t near enough to …"

"Devil&s;s Hunt is one of those games that failed to reach its potential, thus can&s;t be considered a good AA game. Very shallow story, bad character design and repetitive gameplay are the main reasons that you should probably avoid this …"

"Despite looking like a full-on action game, Devil’s Hunt focuses on its story and narrative heavily. While cutscenes are often used in this game, I never felt like they were too much nor too long and was well balanced between …"
Read original review"Sometimes people deride big-budget games as conservative, safe products, focus-tested and drained of imagination. But also, a bigger budget allows for quality writing, ruthless editors and designers with the chops to pull off a high concept."

"At first glance, Devil&s;s Hunt definitely looks like an action-packed, brutal beat-&s;em-up with an interestingly rendered world and a slightly clichéd story. Unfortunately, that’s just how it appears—it’s a misleading impression. Instead of the action you’ve been longing for, you’ll …"

"While Devil’s Hunt tries to aim high, with a great attention for details in the story department, the technical aspect is terrible and outdated, and the gameplay feels boring and repetitive."
Read original review"In its current state it&s;s like leaving a movie in the middle. I could only recommend it if they get a pack with the entire saga to enjoy the story in its full splendor."
