Bullet-hell Shooter Demon Throttle Announced By Devolver Digital

Doinksoft's upcoming Demon Throttle is an 8-bit bullet hell shooter with incredibly stylish cinematics, set to release for Nintendo Switch in 2022.

It’s just the first day of E3 2021, and announcements have been flooding in rapidly. Following the Guerilla Collective Showcase and Ubisoft’s Forward conference, Devolver Digital announced a bunch of new games during its Devolver Max Pass Plus event- that’s certainly a mouthful. One such game is Dionksoft’s upcoming Demon Throttle.

Demon Throttle is a bullet-hell shooter with stylized 8-bit graphics. The trailer, which you can check out below, shows some incredibly stylish cinematics, reminiscent of Hideo Kojima’s Policenauts. The game’s story revolves around a vampiress and a gunslinger on a revenge mission against a demon.

Demon Throttle will be a physical-only game, releasing exclusively for the Nintendo Switch in 2022. Pre-orders are live on Special Reserve Games’ website. With the games industry steadily moving into an all-digital era, Doinksoft and Devolver Digital’s decision to go the physical-only route is certainly questionable, particularly in light of scalpers selling consoles and physical games at extraneous prices.
