Hey Tap Tap family! Around 6-7 months ago, I played Devil Slayer: Raksasi on a Nintendo Switch emulator, and I still remember how intense and satisfying the combat felt. This game is not for the weak-hearted—it’s challenging, tactical, and unforgiving. If you love top-down roguelike combat, this one might be for you.

But is it fun, or just another rage-inducing experience? Let’s find out!

Overview
Devil Slayer: Raksasi is a top-down roguelike action game developed by GlassesCatGames. It combines Souls-like difficulty with fast-paced dungeon crawling, making every battle feel like a life-or-death situation.

You play as one of six female warriors, and now you know why I love this game. each warrior wielding different weapons and playstyles, and fight your way through procedurally generated dungeons filled with deadly enemies, traps, and massive bosses.

This game is all about skill—every move matters, like cheese and one mistake can cost you your life.

Gameplay Experience
Since this is a top-down action roguelike, I was immediately hooked by how fluid and strategic the combat feels.

✅ Tactical combat – You can’t just spam attacks; you need to dodge, block, and time your strikes.
✅ Diverse playstyles – Each character uses a different weapon, like swords, spears, and hammers, giving you plenty of variety.
✅ Randomly generated dungeons – No two runs are the same, making each playthrough feel fresh.
✅ Tough enemy AI – Enemies don’t just stand there; they dodge, counter, and gang up on you.

At first, I was getting wrecked—I thought I could button-mash through enemies like I do everytime, but this game punishes mistakes. Once I slowed down, started reading enemy attacks, and learned to dodge at the right moment, the combat felt incredibly satisfying.

Controls
Since I played this on a emulator, the controls were smooth and responsive on my controller the touch one feel like trash.

✅ Dodging feels precise – No input delay, which is critical in a game like this.
✅ Attack combos feel weighty – Every weapon has its own attack speed and range, making each character feel unique.
✅ Stamina management matters – If you spam dodges, you’ll run out of stamina and get punished hard.

Whether you’re playing with a controller or keyboard, the game handles really well—but I’d definitely recommend a controller for better control over movement and dodging.

Graphics and Sound
The art style is a mix of dark fantasy and hand-drawn aesthetics, which makes the world feel mystical yet haunting.

✅ Dark and atmospheric environments – The dungeon designs are detailed and moody.
✅ Beautiful character animations – Attacks, dodges, and movement look fluid and natural.
✅ Intense soundtrack – The boss music gets your heart pumping, and the ambient dungeon sounds add immersion.

It’s not the flashiest-looking game, but the art direction fits perfectly with its tense and mysterious world, and you can she female warriors what you can ask more.

Story and Characters
Like most roguelikes, the story isn’t the main focus—but it’s still interesting.

Each warrior has a unique background and motivation, adding some depth to the game. While the gameplay is the real highlight, the lore and atmosphere make you feel like you’re part of a bigger, darker world. And you think I readed anything in the game after watching this.
