The second installment in the Crush Pinball series after Alien Crush, the game has an eerie occult theme with skulls, skeletons, and demons. It was later followed by Jaki Crush and Alien Crush Returns. The game was ported to the Sega Mega Drive, retitled Dragon's Fury (Devil Crash MD in Japan) which was developed by Technosoft. Devil's Crush was later released on the Wii's Virtual Console, with the European release reverting to its original title; however, the pentagram symbols were removed and replaced with 8-sided star.

Devil's Crush, Devil Crash, Dragon's Fury... Whatever you want to call this, it's a pretty cool occult-looking pinball game filled with skulls, demons, dragons, dark mages, and a woman's face that gradually turns more reptilian as you achieve certain objectives.

Devil's Crush, Devil Crash, Dragon's Fury... Whatever you want to call this, it's a pretty cool occult-looking pinball game filled with skulls, demons, dragons, dark mages, and a woman's face that gradually turns more reptilian as you achieve certain objectives. The whole thing has an awesome aesthetic to it. That said though, it is just a single pinball table, and there's only so much that can offer. There is a nice variety to the appearance of the bonus stage rooms you can enter, but they all have the same basic layout. Satisfying sound effects, but I wish the music stood out a bit more. Also a really tough game to get any good at, like any pinball game.

Platform:

Turbografx-16 version.

Graphics:

The graphics are great, a lot of nice animations and an atmospheric art style. Also features some subtle effects that you notice over time.

Gameplay:

Just like Alien Crush it's a surreal pinball game, with tiny monsters walking the table and causing trouble. This time arond there is scrolling on the main table which is a huge plus compared to Alien Crush. The table itself is also a bit more interesting with now 3 areas where you can keep the ball from falling down, all feeling different, the top one also giving access to mini-boss levels.

Difficulty:

The controls and speed are near perfect, nothing really to complain about. Sure if luck is against you, you'll lose a ball from time to time no matter how well you play it, but since there is more layers until the ball is definitely dead it usually doesn't feel unfair.

Conclusion:

It is recommended everywhere as one of the top games of the system. It's definitely the best pinball game on the Turbografx, and it's quite definitely one of the most unique pinball games out there. Highly recommended.
