'''''Devil's Third''''' is an action game directed by [[Tomonobu Igataki]]. It was originally announced by [[THQ]], and was planned to be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but after THQ closed, Nintendo picked it up. In Japan, it's an Amazon exclusive.

==Gameplay==
The game is a first person shooter and a melee action game. It has a great emphasis on online.

==Plot==
The game's backstory is based on the Kessler syndrome theory. Debris from artificial satellites in orbit has created a cascading effect of collisions, leading to the destruction of nearly all satellites, both civilian and military. In the resulting turmoil, war erupts around the world as the balance of military power is thrown into chaos. Infantry battle is altered in a world without satellite technology. It can be seen from concept art that the game will be taking place around the world with Asian and American locations.

==Development==
''Devil's Third'' was the first video game produced by Valhalla Game Studios, a company founded in 2008 by former Tecmo staff including Tomonobu Itagaki. The game was slated to be a departure from Itagaki's previous genres, hack and slash and fighting games.

==Reception==
The game received a mostly positive reception in Japan. Japanese magazine ''Famitsu'' gave the game a score of 33/40, with four individual reviewers scoring it 8, 9, 8 and 8 out of 10. Since the game was exclusive to Amazon in Japan, sales weren't available for tracking, but the game received a mostly positive reception from users.

In contrast to its original Japanese release, the international release of ''Devil's Third'' received negative reviews. It received an aggregated score of 43/100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 54 reviews. Overall, praise was given to the game's design, gameplay and multiplayer elements, while most panned the game's campaign, controls, graphics, and inconsistent framerate.
