![]() However, don’t get it wrong: the game is really challenging even though your moves are really smooth or you’re familiar to soulslike.įights feel strategic and fast-paced, with evading moves followed by a light or heavy attack using the right bumper and the shoulder button, avoiding to take damage through the use of rolling mapped on the B button. Everything is given in small portions to make you advance without being afraid, as well Hellpoint initially feels really easy in terms of battle and movement. ![]() After that, Hellpoint tells you some basic tutorials through brilliant hand markers on the walls and intuitive level design, leading the player to the first enemy encounter and fighting moment. ![]() You start in a place named Irid Novo that looks like a space station and take the role of a human with a robot looking character known as “the creation”.ĭifferently from Dark Souls, here you aren’t able to customize your character or change any of its appearance and style. Good thing that Hellpoint’s creators understood perfectly what made Dark Souls so famous and successful: the continuity and world’s entire connection. So the player only needs to go after the three star score system while beating some generic guys. The trailers got me at the moment I watched them, but instead of giving us an interesting and subjective story that leads players to guess what’s really happening in that world and create a lot of crazy theories around the internet, Animus wrongly chose a too basic mobile arcade approach, where each stage has its own start and ending point. The last soulslike game I can remember that I’ve played was Animus: Harbinger and aw man, that game was really disappointing and frustrating. Fortunately, the game from Cradle Games and tinyBuild took a lot of the stuff that people didn’t like in Dark Souls and improved, leading Hellpoint to anything apart from a mere copy of From Software’s masterpiece. Hellpoint is an indie one that hasn’t any worries in hiding that fits in the Dark Souls wannabe category. This practically has created a new subgenre of so-called soulslike. Nowadays it’s very common to see a lot of Dark Souls similar games coming out.
