You play a Spawn of the Authority brought to this world to investigate the circumstances of this event and unravel this deep interstellar intrigue.
#Hellpoint game series
Accompanying the new DLC, a native PlayStation 5 version of Hellpoint is now available, with an Xbox Series X/S version coming July 26.
Once a glorious pinnacle of human achievement, the Irid Novo station is now devastated, completely overrun by evil interdimensional entities and dominated by the will of malevolent Cosmic Gods. Reforge yourself as the mightiest Spawn of all. Hellpoint is a dark and challenging action RPG set in a heavily atmospheric sci-fi universe where the line between science and occult is blurred. So I would just have a prolonged battle that would drag on because of how much HP they had.Explore three new massive and interconnected zones, arm yourself with powerful new two-handed weapons, hunt horrifying new bosses for their equipment and gorge yourself on a bounty of respecs and other improvements. It wasn't hard to figure out an enemy's attack patterns, but some would have a huge health bar. Sometimes they'd spot me from across the map, while other times I would be standing right beside someone and they wouldn't even notice. The framerate would dip during large-scale fights which made combat feel like a slog. Hellpoint just reminded of an unpolished version of a FromSoftware game. Hellpoint is an action role-playing game developed by Cradle Games and published by tinyBuild, released for Microsoft Windows, Linux, MacOS, PlayStation 4. Honestly, though, I'm not sure I would want to grab a friend to play this together. There's a dedicated jump button so you can make it across gaps easier (although platforming still feels as uncomfortable as it usually does in a Soulslike.) It even has split-screen co-op, which is a feature I never knew I wanted in one of these titles. There's also a crafting system where you can make weapons or even special abilities.
You have a device called an Omnicube which can perform helpful tasks like teleporting you back to the nearest rift or leaving little nodes of light to indicate where you've been. It always feels like there's something making raspy moans right around the corner (mostly because there usually is.) Dark Souls games often had some aspects of horror, but Hellpoint really wants you to feel tense and anxious while you cautiously wander around.īut to its credit, it does do the Soulslike formula competently and it has some original ideas. It creaks and drones on with otherworldly noises. This feeling is intensified by the sound design of the space station. Some creatures look like they've come from some kind of insane space cult or they're the result of an experiment gone wrong. It's dark with occasional flashes of disturbing fluorescent light. I was incredibly unnerved by the alien feeling of this world. The setting of Hellpoint is undeniably its best feature. It's up to your character to explore the station and figure out just what the hell happened here. Everyone inside has been turned into mindless, growling, shambling space-zombies. You play as a newly created human - apparently known as a spawn - who is made by a being known as The Architect to investigate a derelict space station positioned perilously close to a black hole. Hellpoint instead goes for a look straight out of Event Horizon. Most of these projects tend to be dark fantasy games with dragons, castles, sun-worshipping knights, etc.
