Are you ready to face hell? I sure wasn't apparently. Devil Daggers [Official Site, Steam] is now out for Linux and I took a little look.

Devil Daggers is a first-person arena style shooter, you're essentially always trying to beat your previous scores, and everyone else. What's really cool is you can download a replay of anyone's game to see how they did it. The game is rather simplistic, but it's brilliantly designed to hook you in.

The game works fine for me, with really smooth frame-rates and no stuttering. Not surprising, as it's not exactly graphically intensive, and it's a rather small arena.

The game is hard, one touch and it's all over for you. I haven't managed to last very long at all, but something about it is almost addictive.

It will be very interesting to see how you do against my time. My current best time is 84.5868. That's only just over a minute long—a very frustrating time. It quickly becomes rather difficult, as you get utterly swarmed the longer you're in it.

It took me 20 minutes to last longer than a single minute in the game. My next personal challenge is to hit two minutes.

This is gearing up to be a game I'm going to repeatedly come back to for one more run.

About the game
Inspired by 1990s FPS and arcade games, Devil Daggers is a fast-paced shooter that places you in an abyssal arena to face endless legions of demons. Armed with versatile magic daggers and a fluid movement system, fight to survive as long as you can. Compete for precious seconds with Steam Friends or on global leaderboards.Your spirit and skill will be tested. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Um, it runs horribly on my PC - I get 8 FPS (on a GTX 680, with 370.28 driver).

Despite the missing Linux icon, this installs and runs beautifully on my GTX 970 powered Ubuntu machine. There's an HRTF toggle in the options that will crash the game immediately, but that may have to do with my 5.1 setup.

Addictive, atmospheric and damn hard. Highly recommended.
I think it was Rock, Paper, Shotgun that described it as "a Quake fever dream", a sentiment I can only agree with :D

So are you guys sure it counts as a Linux sale without the icon present?
