Devil Jam is everything and more than I want out of a survivor roguelite. It offers an engaging combat system with a ton of abilities and buffs, a fantastic heavy metal soundtrack, great voice acting, and a story that does a half-decent job at explaining why I am here in the first place. For a genre I’ve never really been into, Devil Jam sure does prove to me on multiple levels that I am missing out massively on this addictive and fun genre.

Top-down roguelite survivors-style experience in which you'll have to fight your way out of hell

A presentation reminiscent of Hades is the cherry on top of Devil Jam, a Survivors-like brought to life with metal music and a beat that will keep you headbanging from start to finish. Only the bosses are going to get in the way of your fun here, but you're absolutely going to want to keep trying to best them.

The roguelite action game, Devil Jam, can be a bit of a grind to start, but it has potential with some interesting strategic elements, battle effects, and heavy metal approach to gameplay. It's a respectable "not bad", but it may need a little help.

Amidst the sea of rogues and Survivors, Devil Jam rocks up with its effort. With solid gameplay, colourful visuals and a neat beat mechanic, it can be fun. But it doesn't offer much in terms of substance, and is subsequently more for the hardcore genre fans only.
