Expert mode, betting, elite monsters, run cancel more!



To thanks to our fans and players for the support, here's another big update for Devil's Dare! In this update, we've made several balancing tweaks to the game based on our players feedback since release, as well as new ideas to spice up the gameplay.

Expert mode & Betting
The expert mode isn't just a simple tweak to the monster health and damage. Instead, players can choose to bet on their game. If you feel confident enough, challenge yourself by increasing the revive cost and take on some elite monsters. Killing them won't only be harder, but also more rewarding. Find out if you've got what it takes!

On top of that, health will no longer recovers at the end of each night in expert mode. Players will have to decide if they were to purchase an upgrade, or spend a little to recover their health instead.

Dodge & Run
Instead of a running away, players now dodge before they run off. Giving them a split second invincibility to get out of danger.

Run Cancel
When performing a combo, special moves or picking up items, press run to cancel your previous action immediately. This allows players to run away from danger or perform more combos at the expense of 1 Soul Point.

Special Cancel
More of a reminder than a new feature, the game actually feature special cancel. For example, when performing a Shield Dash, player can cancel the attack halfway to perform a Sword Spin, allowing him to deal more damage.

Game Balancing & Tweaks


  • Boss Fight Timer : Players can no longer grind in boss fight. Each boss fight must be completed in time, else player will die when the time is up!
  • Game Freezing Effects : Previously, when players uses a special moves, the game freezes and darken entirely. As good as it looks, it was rather disruptive for multiplayer mode. It's now a lot shorter and smooth, and only appears on Breakout and Special Cancel.
  • Kingston Piledriver : Now cost only 2 Soul Points, though damage is reduced.
  • Monster Armor : Stronger monsters like Mama's Boy and Mister X now freeze a little longer when hit, giving players a split second longer to escape when the monsters fight back.
  • Skip Convention : Players can now skip the convention entirely from the character selection screen if they've gameover from the game once.


That is all for now and I hope old and new players can find joy in the game. Happy holiday, everyone!

    A Winner is you



    And we have a winner... Or 40 to be exact. Congratulations everyone!

    We have manage to grab the screenshots of all the leaderboards just in time and you can refer to the image in the link below to see where you stand.

    xxx Controversy Alert! : oh $NaP claims to have a more accurate leaderboard, so we're look into it! If anyone else did a screenshot when the time end, please get in touch! xxx
    xxx Controversy Update : We have manage to resolve the issue with the leaderboard, and will repost the final leaderboard soon. Once we do that, we can proceed to distribute the prizes.

    Unfortunately, despite our effort, there seems to be a few cases of cheating/hacking the leaderboard. In the case of NeoRizer and VinСент WinЧестер, their current score are unachievable given the amount of time since the competition being, and we will have to disqualify them from the challenge.

    We have also receive a few complains regarding 2-3 other contestant, so we will have to look into it further and verify with the players. Hopefully they can produce some sort of proof, so to make it easier for everyone.

    Free Demo x Casual Difficulty x Survival Mode



    Coming this Halloween, we will be adding a few new features to the game, free of charge! There will be a little something for everyone, so hopefully if you've enjoyed the game so far, please help us to spread the word and share it with your friends!





    SURVIVAL MODE & LEADERBOARD
    Firstly, for our early supporters who has already familiarised with the game, we have a new survival mode for 1-4 players. Just like the arcade mode, we have separate leaderboards based on the number of players in the game.

    CASUAL DIFFICULTY
    Next up, for the more casual gamers, fret not as we've added a casual difficulty to the game. It doesn't dumb things down completely and should still provide a moderate challenge. And by the end of it, it should gear you up with the skills and knowledge to take on our original, Classic mode.

    FREE DEMO
    Lastly, for players that are still hesitant about Devil's Dare, there's a free demo for you to try out! There's a single level available in the demo, but you are free to try out all the characters. So be sure to give it a shot!


    IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT : As we're adding a new patch to encrypt the saved data, we are going to have to reset our current leaderboard and delete current saved data. We are very sorry about this, but this is also due to the new $666 contest we're hosting, and I apologize in advance and thank you for your understanding.
