Hello and welcome to the Devil Daggers Championship! Here you will be able to test your skills and share your results with other fellow gamers to earn the right to enter a lot of giveaways! Devil Daggers is a hard game that only has one achievement 'Devil Dagger', where you have to earn 500 points (or seconds surviving) to earn it. Many of them will require low scores so all people will have the chance to join at least a few giveaways!

  • Sounds easy, right?
  • (¬‿¬)
  • Right?

The game is cheap, the base cost is only 4$ and it's right now on sale on Steam! Maybe you already own it as it was bundled previously.

[GIVEAWAY LIST AND LEADERBOARDS ARE IN THE FIRST COMMENT OF THE THREAD]

Introduction

Hey, Mills here! Recently in the Unplugged Giveaways discord was a discussion about hard achievement, and obviously, this game was mentioned, many people talked about trying to earn this achievement, so I decided to make this little tournament to boost the competition.

I am the one managing everything and if there's a lot of participation I could struggle a bit with updating leaderboards, your submissions or sending you the giveaways, so please, I would kindly appreciate it if you are patient and I will try to be as swift as possible!

The Devil Daggers Championship

So what's the tournament, how will it work? This tournament will be divided in two phases being the first one for the competition and the second one for the giveaways.

PHASE 1 (CURRENT ONE UNTIL 23:59 9th JULY): In this phase you will be able to submit your score via Steamgifts or Discord. Once done I will contact you when I fill your entry in the list of participants. You are free to update your score by commenting again the times you need, just remember me that you already submitted it in the past. If you had played the game before, the score you had will be enough to participate, there is no need to play the game again if you don't want, but it would be awesome for you to try again!

PHASE 2 (From 10th to 16th JULY): Giveaway time! I will contact you here in Steamgifts or in Discord with the links to the giveaways your score corresponds to (I will prioritize Discord to message people). So the only thing left for you is to participate in the giveaways of the games you are interested in!

The giveaways themselves will be divided in two groups:

  • Score-related: As the name suggests, you will be invited to the giveaways with a score milestone LOWER than your personal score. For example, if you scored 120 seconds, you will be invited to all 25, 50, 75 and 100 score giveaways.

  • TOP 13 exclusive (13 from Discord and 13 from Steamgifts): This giveaways will be based on the leaderboards from both Discord and Steamgifts submissions, keep in mind that people that joined from both ways will be counted as one. This means that if a person applied in both he will get invited from either Discord or Steamgifts and his other TOP 10 spot will be given to the 11th person. If you are in the TOP 10 I will add you on Steam to check your replay and invite you to the exclusive giveaway.

How to participate

It's very easy to participate, just play the game, earn a score and submit it using one or both of the methods down below:

  • METHOD 1 (Steamgifts): Post a comment here with a screenshot of your Leaderboard. That's it, you will be free to upload new ones if you get to improve your score!

  • METHOD 2 (Discord) In the Unplugged Giveaways discord post a comment in the channel Devil-Daggers- Championship with a screenshot of your leaderboard and post you Steam profile if you don't have it linked to your Discord profile.
    If you want to join the Discord and submit there your score you can get invited by clicking here

Want to contribute with your own giveaway?

Yes! I have made myself a few of them, but if you liked the idea and want to support it, here are some guidelines to create a giveaway that I can add to the prize-pool!

  • Invite only
  • Must end on the 16th July.
  • Mention that the giveaway was made for this tournament and that the winner must be a participant of the DDC and ask to follow the rules here!
  • The rest of the description is up to you to fill with whatever you want! Do you want to promote yourself, a Steam Group, a charity, maybe just link a song you like? As long as you keep it friendly for everyone, you have my approval to promote everything you would want to!

You will need to contact me to add the giveaway to the pool and remember to specify which score milestone you would like it to be, it can be the number you want, not just the ones I’ve made giveaways for. :)

Thanks for your time reading and hope you all participate! Here is a little thanks for those of you who took your time reading it!

Let’s all enjoy the game and git good!

One of my most loved SG wins. Game is great. Simple, very addicting, and frustrating at the same time.
I tried to get the achievement and then quit the game like four times already. And that lack of dedication probably is why I'll never get it.

To be honest you need some dedication to break the 300 seconds score! Congrats and thanks for joining :)

You're right. I don't know what's the average time to get the achievement (howlongtobeat says a whopping 101h based on 3 "completionist" entries), but playing 10h every six months like I did up until now won't get me there, I think. Maybe not for this event (thank you for it btw!), but I will try again in the future, that's a thing I know for sure ;)

Cool, but I'd guide myself for completionist time as this game is very skill dependent so people with different skill levels will need different amounts of time and effort to reach the 500 points score ^^

This game is so hard jesus. Even with reading "beginner" guides that were supposed to get me to 2 minutes I couldn't reach 90 seconds. Oh well, may try again

There's tons of info on the internet, enemy patterns, timers, and lots of insight about how to improve your survival rate. I hope you give it another chance, the event will be live for two weeks :)

I'm not sure if I give it another chance, it feels really tiring - but I managed to better my score. Should I notify you about that, by the way?

You got close to 100 score points more, that's a very nice improvement mate! Yeah, I understand how you may feel about it, this kind of games is better to be played in short gaming sessions as they are very stressfull and requires a high amount of concentration.

And yes, you have to notify me so I can check your new score and update the list, that's very important!

Thank you and have a nice day, sir!

There is no beating it. It's a score attack game that keeps getting more difficult the longer you survive. I believe this is the current record at 1163 seconds.

Edit: Unless you meant getting the achievement. That is very difficult. According to the current leaderboard, there have been just under 245,000 players and only 463 people have managed to pass 500 seconds and get the achievement.

The first time I played this game I was quite underwhelmed but due to this event I gave it another shot and I can now see it's appeal, thanks for that~
So far my highscore is pretty low but let's see if I can improve it during the next weeks :3
