This is the closest you'll get to a perfect video game, and below I'll explain why.

Devil Daggers is a minimalistic survival arena FPS.
It only has one game mode, one weapon, one map and pixelated graphics, reminiscent of the first Quake and PS1 era games.

This description may not look very attractive at first glance, but in its simplicity lie Devil Daggers greatest strengths.

The graphics style is unique, very well executed and reminds me of a time long past, when occult shooters such as Quake and Doom reigned supreme. Combined with the fantastic sound design this art style helps create a very tense atmosphere.
The controls are tight and will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played these shooters of old. The game also includes competitive leaderboards, and lets you view other players attempts, allowing you to learn from their tactics and mistakes.

These factors combine perfectly into a cohesive game that is more than just the sum of its parts. Devil Daggers is a beautiful looking and sounding game, thanks to its art and sound design. Yet Devil Daggers is also an incredibly addictive highscore attack game thanks to its gameplay and leaderboards features.

This explains why I think Devil Daggers is pretty much a perfect game. It is a very focused game and it executes its design perfectly. Devil Daggers doesn’t try to be huge or varied. It simply tries to be a stylish, addictive survival shooter and it succeeds in every way.

If you like difficult high score attack games like Super Hexagon at all, or are nostalgic for shooter such as Quake you need to buy this game right now. You won’t regret it.
