This time 10 years in the past most of my PC Gamer colleagues had been hooked on Satan Daggers, a lo-fi survival FPS whose dirty low-poly artwork model beat the present early 3D nostalgia wave by no less than 4 years. It is fairly easy: you stand in a flat and featureless enviornment and fend off more and more nasty waves of eldritch foes with magical daggers. The item is to remain alive for so long as doable.
This description undersells how moreish Satan Daggers is. Let me flip to Chris Thursten, who declared it his favorite recreation of 2016. “It is Pure Quake, mainly,” he wrote. “It’s to Quake what the blue meth in Breaking Dangerous is to common meth, besides it is actual.”
For Satan Daggers’ tenth birthday, creator Sorath has revealed that 1,472 folks have survived 500 seconds in Satan Daggers with out dying. Greater than 350,000 folks have performed the sport in complete, Sorath additionally confirms, so surviving that lengthy is sort of the achievement.
Sorath additionally confirmed that Satan Daggers 2 is presently in growth. “Right this moment looks as if a great day to announce that we’re working exhausting on Satan Daggers II,” they wrote.
Sorath has launched one different recreation since Satan Daggers, within the type of Hyper Demon. It is kinda just like Satan Daggers besides the artwork model appears extra belonging to a misplaced era between Quake and Quake 2. It is nausea-inducing in an thrilling manner, and should you’re watching it being performed it kinda appears like a psychedelic demoscene visible greater than a recreation. Hyper Demon additionally acquired a free 1v1 version, if STRAFTAT is simply too uptight for you.
