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!

If you improve your score the main thing is that I get a notification so I can see your update. So as long as I get it you can either reply to my comment or post a new one. :)

Just a reminder, this is the last day to submit the score, if you want to improve it further, it'll be your last chance!

I won't have time, so I guess it's my final score. But I did have fun and it helped me appreciate the game a bit more than I had once did, so thank you for that. I wish I can get the acievement one day.

I kind of wish the game had a save state feature of some sorts that wouldn't touch the leaderboards or achievement. Doing the first section constantly just to try to get some practice on later sections can get a bit dull. I've had similar issues with other games in the past where you must always go from the start. One of my favorite rogulike game was enjoyable because the game had a level structure separate from the full run which allowed me to get tons of practice in each section and prepared me for the full run. If it only had the full run mode, I feel like I would have gotten better much slower and I would have had more repetition as I would always have to beat the first couple of levels to get practice on later ones.

I had more fun overall though, and getting to a new high score was always quite satisfying.

Yeah, sometimes you want to just test some enemy spawns to kill them efficiently, unfortunately, the only way is getting there surviving the game :(

In this particular game it could be quite hard to do something like that, because you won't always get to the milestones with the same enemies alive so it can vary from one run to another.

Glad you enjoyed the game and the event mate, it's appreciated :)

I gave it my best shot, I don't think that I'll be able to improve anytime soon since there would be 3 gigapedes awaiting me :D I really admire anyone who got through them, true hell starts there.
Thank you so much for doing this challenge, this game is really addicting, I had a lot of fun with it :)

It needs practice and knowledge, is not a game intended for people to reach highscores the first time they play.

I played years ago the last time and yesterday surprised me when I realize that i can push around 270 without pratice.
I think that if i can practice more I can do a result wayy better than this but take time and fortunately I work a lot.
However i'll do my best to try the last push today to improve my score!

Thanks :)

Spent close to fifty minutes with the game, crossed the 50 second mark by accident in my third attempt or so, and then never beat that. While some of the deaths felt slightly "cheap", I do recognize dying is ultimately my fault. There is RNG, but nothing like an enemy spawning in your face or anything.

Thanks for trying mate! Even if it may see that sometimes the game is unfair, most enemies have spawn times, so knowing before they appear could let you make preparations and set up better strategies to face them.

Even if the game has a high skill ceiling, knowledge about the game is more relevant if you want to reach the higher scores :)

Don't get me wrong, rushing and not clearing smaller enemies was the main cause of problems (followed by forgetting to check if anything spawned behind and carelessly "dodging" into an enemy). It's interesting, for example, how the first (the "Purged") spawners are more troublesome if you rush them rather than letting them shoot first, clearing a bunch of the swarm, and then moving in for the kill.

LOL it's pathetic, but I can't even pass the 1 min bar than I'm already suffering from my carpal tunnel syndrome... I won't go further without pain, definitely not the kind of game I can enjoy these days (after surgery maybe) :'(
I'm a big fan of the art and the simple atmosphere though.

Oh, mate, that's a nuisance. The game relies heavily on fast movement of the mouse and swift use of the keyboard, not recommended at all for your kind of pain. Hope you'll get rid of it in the future!

Thanks for dedicating some of your time anyways and for participating in the event!
