What players say
Players mostly love DEVOUR as a chaotic co-op horror game with friends, though repetitive missions, grindy progression and thin matchmaking bring complaints.
Many players say the game is at its best with three or four friends: objectives are simple, but once the demon starts chasing, plans fall apart and voice chat turns into loud, funny panic. Players enjoy the varied maps, the escalating difficulty on higher settings and the jump scares, and some note a VR mode and an arachnophobia option. Criticism centres on repetitive collect-and-burn missions, enemies that stay aggressive late in a round, and progression that takes a lot of grinding to unlock perks. Several reviewers say the game is nearly unplayable with fewer than four people and that few players are left online. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, with some players complaining about slow content updates and the monthly pace of new maps.
Praised
- Chaotic co-op fun
Players laugh and panic together as the demon chases, and voice chat makes the shared scramble memorable.
Many players - Varied, creepy maps
Each map has its own setting, backstory, monster and twist, so the rounds do not feel identical.
Many players - Jump scares and tension
Sudden scares, dim rooms and eerie sound give a tense atmosphere that many players find genuinely frightening.
Many players - Replayability at higher difficulty
Escalating difficulty, randomised item spawns and nightmare modes keep experienced players coming back for hundreds of hours.
Some players
Criticised
- Repetitive missions
Most maps ask players to collect and burn the same kind of items, which many find dull after a few runs.
Many players - Relentless late-game enemies
Enemies become fast and constantly aggressive in later rounds, which some players find unfair or unplayable.
Many players - Needs four players
Reviewers say solo or duo play is very hard and that the game is only enjoyable with a full group.
Many players - Grindy progression and few players
Unlocking perks takes a lot of grind, and reviewers note that few people still play, making matches hard to find.
Some players
- Who it suits
- Suited to groups of three or four friends who want loud, chaotic co-op horror and do not mind repeating similar missions.
- Who should skip it
- Players who want deep story, solo play, or varied missions should skip it, as reviewers say it is hard alone and repetitive over time.
Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours more often complain about repetition, grind and few players online, while newer players mainly praise the chaotic co-op fun and scares.
