Collecting 10 of these red crystals upgrades your dagger shot. Make sure not to release these crystals when a spider is around, because the spider will steal the crystals and turn them into eggs, which unleash dangerous green spiders around the arena. Shoot at the spider's weak spot, which is also a red crystal, to take it out before it can convert your crystals.īelow you'll find some more focused tips on surviving longer in Devil Daggers.ġ. The key is to keep moving, but another very important thing is to not move like the skulls are chasing you – move like you're leading them. Change directions unexpectedly and circle around them to catch them from behind or mid-turn, while being careful not to fall off the edge.Ģ. Look behind you. Enemies catch up to you quickly so it's important to always know what's around you at all times. Keep yourself at an advantage over enemies by knowing where everything is at all times.ģ. Don't be too triggerhappy. You do not need to reload in Devil Daggers, but it's important that you aren't firing off all the time. When you're shooting, the red crystals that strengthen your daggers move away from you, making it harder for you to collect them. Stop firing and the crystals float towards you.Ĥ. Aim. Being able to take enemies out quickly and cleanly can relieve a lot of pressure by lightening the load of enemies on you at any given time, but you have to practice. The best time to practice your aim is on the four skull spawners before the first spider appears. Strafe shooting, where you use the WASD keys to position your shots instead of the mouse, is a useful technique too.ĥ. Listen! The sound effects in Devil Daggers are very important for determining what kind of enemies are in the arena without having to look. Certain enemies even make distinct noises that can alert you to their position. For example, the large horned skulls that charge at you from the double-spawners make a low-pitch laughing sound that gets louder the closer it is to you, and spiders make a slimy crawling sound once they spawn.Movement in Devil Daggers is fast paced and fluid, similar to other 1990s shooters, and the game's movement mechanics are heavily inspired by FPS games from that era. The default movement keys are WASD for forward / left / back / right respectively, and space to jump. Instead, the player moves dramatically faster while moving diagonally (pressing W+A or W+D). Strafing is achieved by holding any combination of non-opposing directional keys, I.E forwards + left, backwards + right. Strafing gives the player a significant boost in speed, thought it takes some getting used to for anyone unfamiliar with retro FPS control schemes. The player may 'bunny hop' by jumping repeatedly while moving, which grants a generous boost to movement speed at the expense of more controlled movement. To bunny hop, you need to time your space presses correctly. A well-times press will result in a basketball-sounding sound, and an increase in your field of view. If timed badly the sound will be quieter and the speed gained will be a lot less. Pressing the jump key just before landing will result in a perfect b-hop.
