9 First-Person Shooters Only Hardcore Gamers Can Play

It's always refreshing to know that some developers still hold a special place in their hearts for the retro games that took the industry to where it is today. Blocky graphics and 8-bit music are classic ways to pay homage to this glorious era of gaming, but let's be real here: what says retro better than absolutely soul-crushing difficulty?

Enter Devil Daggers, an obviously Doom-inspired dark fantasy shooter with additional elements of bullet hell - the bullets being the enemies themselves, naturally.

Your goal is to survive as long as possible against endless waves of demons. The longer you last, the more will spawn, and coming into contact with anything results in instant death.

Bullets shoot wildly out of your fingertips, but don't expect that alone to protect you. You're going to want to be on the move constantly, circle-strafing and backstepping around your foes with often only inches separating you and that one fatal touch.

Devil Daggers only offers one thing, but it's one thing done incredibly well, with enough challenge and replayability to rile up even the hardiest of gamers. Try this one yourself if you think you're hard enough.
