HELLBOUND (2026)

A really nice gameplay loop and a beautiful art style. probably the most accurate depiction of afterlife.

very fun game that reminds me of doom and mario together. it has a very unique gameplay and i loved it. definitely worth to play!

🔸 Full Review HELLBOUND is an unapologetic throwback to arena shooters of the ’90s, but it brings enough polish and attitude to stand confidently on its own. The focus is on intense, unrestrained combat that rewards aggression, map control, and rapid reactions rather than tactical cover play or slow build-ups. Combat is fast and expressive. Enemies are varied and aggressive, forcing players to constantly reposition, manage ammo, and prioritize threats effectively. Weapons feel punchy and satisfying, each with its own identity and rhythm. Mastery comes less from character progression and more from understanding enemy patterns and movement flow. What makes HELLBOUND stand out as an indie FPS is how it balances nostalgia with modern design sensibilities. While it fully embraces retro energy, it avoids the clunkiness that often comes with pure imitation. The result is a game that feels familiar to classic shooter fans while still being approachable for players new to the style. The presentation reinforces this philosophy. Gritty visuals, heavy audio, and a throbbing soundtrack create a sense of chaos and urgency without overwhelming readability. Enemy telegraphs are clear, levels …

Peak game, Peak soundtrack, Peak developer!!
