While Hyper Demon is a game of immense and almost uncomprehensible violence, the surprise sequel to Devil Daggers opens in such a lovely way. Before beginning your descent into deicide, you must claim the unholy knife with which you’ll commit first-person ultraviolence, and oh, there it is, surrounded by hopping little crystalline birds! What pretty birds they are! Oh, and they’re cheeping little tinging cheeps! And they hop back if I step towards them! And they flutter into the skies if I charge! And form a big flock if I chase long enough! Ah. Yeah, I think I see how our character ended up in superhell.
