Hellpoint

"The bugs, framerate drops, and rare crashes were present, but as of this review the developers have plans to address these issues in future patches. While this is a new addition to the Soulsborne genre, there are far more successful …"

"Hellpoint is an interesting entry to the popular Souls-like genre and I think it is one worth playing. I wish it was more clear on the rules of the world and I&s;m not a fan of fast travel being restricted. …"

"Souls-like game without satisfaction, which can not resist and can not persuade players."

"Missed opportunities wrapped up in a vaguely scary hellraiser-esque skin. Avoid it, unless you like frustration."

"Hellpoint is a decent game with some issues of its own and if I had to give the game itself a score, it would be a 7.5 or so. Unfortunately, this port is rife with bugs and I can&s;t really …"

"Hellpoint is an excellent take on the Souls-like formula that incorporates some fresh new ideas despite a few hiccups."

"Significant bugs, performance issues, and an almost entirely unoriginal foundation hold Hellpoint back from greatness, but the creepy atmosphere and satisfying combat progression manage to salvage some enjoyment for this sci-fi Souls-like."

"Hellpoint is a recommended game, even if not for everyone. If you are not a soulslike fan, spending about twenty hours in a less refined game than a "Souls-Borne" is certainly not a wise choice. If, on the other hand, …"

"While it doesn&s;t match up with the best of the sub-genre, due to performance issues and generic designs, it provides enough exploration opportunities, deadly combat scenarios, and mysteries to satisfy hardcore fans."

"Prepare to Die... IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!"

"The truth of Hellpoint is that even with all the jank and annoyance, it’s working with a well-known and beloved formula in an interesting setting, with enough tweaks to feel like its own thing."

"If you’re a big fan of Souls-likes and want to play a game that follows that formula fairly closely while introducing a few unique gameplay elements, Hellpoint isn’t a bad choice."

"Hellpoint might have been a decent Souls clone if it didn&s;t suffer from so many technical problems. A few more months in the oven would have done it wonders, but it is an easy skip in its current state."

"Despite being a bit basic in terms of combat and controls, Hellpoint is a good action-RPG, with a interesting universe, a nice level design, a cool cooperative splitscreen mode."

"If Dark Souls were set in space, it would be Hellpoint, a strong souls-like marred only by its similarities to so many others in its genre."

"So if you&s;re looking for an experience similar to Dark Souls, but with a different story and a great exploration factor, Hellpoint is your game."

"Hellpoint is certainly cut from the all-too-familiar Souls cloth when it comes to character progression and combat, but it&s;s the sense of exploration that makes this one Soulslike that shouldn&s;t be missed."

"With little to no indication of where to begin as a player, Hellpoint can be a tough game to crack. However, if you’re not fussed over a lacklustre story, but big on skill-driven, strategic combat, customisable armour, weapons, and abilities, …"

"Ultimately, Hellpoint is the worst kind of inspiration by game. Outside of visuals elements and design, it feels like someone wanted to offer their own take on something like Dark Souls, without the understanding of what makes those games fun."

"While I admire the ambition of Cradle Games, with Hellpoint they&s;ve shot for the stars but well missed the mark."

"Overall, I like how the character looks like the Hellraiser and the aesthetic changing when you change armor sets. I love the design locations that screams nightmare in space. I don’t appreciate the sound effects, in the long run, there …"

"Hellpoint is a great Souls game that will keep you entertained for hours. You have a large variety of armor, weapons and enemies. The combat system is not too complex, but not too demanding, so it is a good choice …"

"Hellpoint may not ultimately stick in the memory long after you&s;re done, but it&s;s a solid enough challenge that will keep fans of the genre busy for a while."

"Hellpoint is absolutely a game to try out if you’re a fan of the Souls-like genre and especially Bloodborne. Its stunning aesthetic alone should grab your interest. However, the game unfortunately falls short of being truly amazing due to several …"

"Hellpoint is a sci-fi Souls-like with one killer feature: local split screen co-op. The rest of the game lacks the polish of its obvious sources of inspiration, and ultimately the technical issues including a wildly inconsistent frame rate, hit detection …"

"Hellpoint is a good, but not great, action RPG inspired by the soulslike sub-genre with competent but poor sci-fi ambience. If it looks dated and uninspired visually, it has in its combat system – even with some downsides – its …"

"Hellpoint is a reasonably decent sci-fi/Soulslike effort that sticks closely to FromSoftware&s;s well-worn formula whilst introducing a few neat new tricks and twists of its own. The combat here is solid, the space station setting often spectacular and the narrative …"

"When Dark Souls meets sci-fi, Hellpoint is born."

"I finished Hellpoint recently and i must say that it is a genuine Souls-like with enough content and some different elements from souls series. Boss fights a re really amazing and the world is full of mysteries and challenge. There …"

"I love these types of games but Hellpoint, mainly due to its framerate, responsiveness, and lore, falls behind most other games in the genre. Its exploration, character building and combat is a carbon copy of Dark Souls but it lacks …"

"Hellpoint is a mixed debut for Cradle Games, with solid but derivative foundations and some unique but uneven ideas. Its cryptic design and level progression may challenge patient players."

"Hellpoint borrows the elements found in Fromsoft titles that make a compelling action RPG game but ultimately stumbles due to technical issues and an overall lack of polish."

"If you are a Souls fan, you should definitely try Hellpoint. It is clunky at times, but absolutely fun to explore."
