Devil's Crush

Devil's Crush has generally been critically applauded. Damien McFerran of Nintendo Life noted the game's audiovisual presentation, stating: "The graphics are really stunning, the designers were obviously smoking something strong when they created this game. The music is also noteworthy, with a brilliant main theme that never gets annoying or repetitive." Frank Provo gave an overall positive review in GameSpot, despite complaints about the pinball physics: "While the ball generally behaves like it's supposed to, it does feel lighter than it should, and it will occasionally ricochet off a wall at an unbelievable angle. Unless you're dead serious about your pinball, though, you'll come to terms with the ball's unique quirks real quick. The intricate table, the flashy visuals, and the surreal setting make it very easy to overlook a few goofy caroms." The TurboGrafx version reached the top of the Computer & Video Games charts. In 1997, Electronic Gaming Monthly ranked the TurboGrafx-16 version of Devil's Crush number 50 on its list of the "100 Best Games of All Time", calling it "the best video pinball game of all time—mainly because it didn't try to be anything like real pinball."
