Summary

Hellpoint is a dark sci fi action RPG set in the aftermath of a massive quantum cataclysm. Every living being quickly lost their mind as their memories and bodies were merged with alternate versions of themselves from parallel universes. The accident also attracted entities of immense power that should have been left alone, in the depth of other dimensions.

Storyline

Once a pinnacle of human achievement, the Irid Novo space station has fallen. Its ruins are now overrun by cruel interdimensional entities acting as puppets of the malevolent Cosmic Gods.

You have been created by the Author, organically printed on Irid Novo and sent on a mission to find out the unholy series of events that led to the catastrophic incident known as the Merge.

Hellpoint is a decent soulslike game that's not perfect but is very enjoyable in its own outright.

Combat is good if a bit janky at times with plenty of fun unique weapons that unlock awesome skills the more you use them.. Performance isn't bad but could be certainly better. Exploration is the best thing about this game and holds plenty of secrets & goodies that really sell the whole Soulslike in space with Event horizon vibes. A recommend if you truly enjoy souls inspired games.

Hellpoint aims to be a souls-like and this is not a problem. What is a problem for me is that Hellpoint plays more like a lower qualityHellpoint aims to be a souls-like and this is not a problem. What is a problem for me is that Hellpoint plays more like a lower quality version of Dark Souls.The graphics in Hellpoint are not overly problematic other than some framerate issues. The biggest problem I have with Hellpoint's graphics are intertwined with my issues with the level design. They are simply too one-dimensional. Where Dark Souls had compact and diverse areas, Hellpoint sprawls through corridor after corridor of familiar steampunk backgrounds. This made me get lost a lot in levels due to each area looking so familiar that I couldn't tell where I was in a level. Overall, the graphics make the game harder to enjoy and harder to play.The gameplay is an interesting one. The brief experience I had with it left me with the impression that unfortunately it was just a poor-man’s Dark Souls again. The controls are almost identical and the attributes and stats function almost identical to Dark Souls. Curiously I wasn’t able to do back-stabs, which I’m guessing were not included in the game.It wouldn’t be a Souls-like without mentioning the difficulty. I didn’t find my time overly difficult. What I found was most of the difficulty came from bad level design, having to traverse long, repetitive and confusing areas with only one ‘bonfire’ that I could find. This was very problematic as when I entered the Embassy and met my first true OP enemy, it created a vicious circle of death and looping back for my souls, souring me on the game massively.The story of Hellpoint also tries much too hard to imitate Souls by being cryptic and minimalistic in how it is conveyed. This doesn’t really work as well for Hellooint simply because the gameplay and visuals aren’t there to complement it.Overall, Hellpoint tries far too hard to imitate Dark Souls instead of distinguishing itself from Dark Souls. It is a very unmemorable cheap knock-off that made me put it down very quickly, whereas Souls kept me pushing through to the end. I understand Hellpoint came from a small team and a tiny budget, but that cannot forgive the mundane and bad gameplay and level design. I don’t see the point of suffering through an inferior version of Dark Souls having already completed the original game.

I have to say this is a pretty good game despite what the other reviewers say.

Yea their is not much of a story and i am not a souls fan at all. But i cant put this down. I really like the feeling of being in space and duking it out. Yes the PS4 might look a little better but i think that graphics are fine and its portable. Give this game a shot.

Dark sci-fi Hellpoint sits smack-dab in the centre of soulslikes quality-wise. It's not terrible, but it's far from a good one too. Should you wait for a price drop, and a couple of fixes for its technical issues? Frankly, no. The strong atmosphere and cryptic plot have the capacity to provide the incentive to endure the many flaws and keep on playing, but aggravation and plain 'ol boredom will soon ruin everything. IF still willing to try it out, stay away from the Switch port, as it is the worse one yet.

For me it feels like a futuristic Bloodborne, combat is fast and fluid. The start can be a little slow but once it gets going it really draws you in. Levels are complex and exploration is good.The only downside is the performance (framerate) drops just occasionally, but this doesn't take too much away from the experience.
