Going up, up, up

K-Devil Hunter offers up classic retro-style action out now on iOS and Android
  • K-Devil Hunter is available now on iOS and Android
  • It sees you take on the role of Taoist demon hunter battling it out with darkness
  • Enjoy vaguely Survivors-like action and idle RPG mechanics to boot

With K-pop and its various derivatives becoming increasingly popular, it shouldn't be any surprise that we're seeing increasing numbers of new releases having a cheeky go at it. But while K-Devil Hunter is undoubtedly trying to evoke a certain popular animated film, it's got appeal all of its own.

Available on iOS and Android, K-Devil Hunter seems to be taking on the Survivors-like structure, which is familiar, but with an added dash of auto-battler. You play a Taoist demon hunter ruthlessly mowing down hordes of enemies in familiar RPG action fashion, so far so normal (oddly enough).

But where K-Devil Hunter stands out is in the panache with which it delivers said action. Ordinarily, in something like Vampire Survivors, it takes a good while before you get to the framerate-killing attacks, but in K-Devil Hunter, it's a straight line to pure magical energy slinging mischief from the word go!

Hunting grounds

Of course, calling it a full-on Survivors-like may be a bit of a misnomer as K-Devil Hunter obviously owes just as much, if not more, to the world of auto-battlers and idle RPGs. Which may come as a disappointment for those of you with very niche tastes, but that's no reason to write it off.

Indeed, K-Devil Hunter has plenty to offer, not least in its astoundingly crunchy pixels (which we all know I'm quite fond of) and fast-paced, flashy gameplay. So while it might fall under that banner of games which 'play themselves', it's still worth taking a gander at what K-Devil Hunter has to offer.

Although even if K-Devil Hunter stands out a bit more, there's no reason not to see how it measures up to its compatriots. In which case, why not go ahead and dig into our list of the best games like Vampire Survivors you can play on mobile right now?
