The thing I found with Steam games that it's easier to navigate to a game's executable and open a terminal and type "wine <game name>.exe".
I agree it is easier, however when I try doing this, the game spits out an error claiming that "Steam must be running to play Devil Daggers" and then it autoclosed. I don't know how you managed beyond this but that is what I am getting.

I would recommend you try wine from their multilib repo as wine-staging is highly experimental and then report back with any bugs you find :)
I have removed wine-staging and installed wine with no differences. Wine by default is a multilib package so is what I have installed. I tried the community wine 1.9.5 (one you linked) and it too spit out the error "Steam must be running to play Devil Daggers". So I installed steam onto a new 32bit wineprefix AFTER installing vcrun2012 and even going so far as to install Devil Daggers onto the prefix (as opposed to using the already installed game) and still, black box and an autoclose.
