About Heckpoint
Part bullet hell, part hack 'n' slash, part rogue-lite action packed insanity with over 70 perks to unlock, 6 worlds to destroy and 7 unique characters, set to a completely original soundtrack, HECKPOINT takes place in the not too distant future. A shadowy organization developing new fuels from dark energy has accidentally ripped a hole in our dimension. The incident caused a ripple effect, creating splintered, glitched versions of Earth. Something else took notice, and interdimensional conquerors began to invade our reality. They use the splintered worlds as gateways, and will stop at nothing until our world is under their control.
Fight back the hordes, unlock powerful and devastating weapons. Customize your load-out and head out into the glitch for heart pounding brutal action. Destroy the world, your enemies, everything. Find the obelisk. Can you reach the HECKPOINT?
KEY FEATURES
Fight back the hordes, unlock powerful and devastating weapons. Customize your load-out and head out into the glitch for heart pounding brutal action. Destroy the world, your enemies, everything. Find the obelisk. Can you reach the HECKPOINT?
KEY FEATURES
- Cut a path through eight procedurally generated worlds, destroying the environment and every enemy in sight. Soar the skies, or engage in up-close combat. Defeat the final boss and activate the obelisk to unlock the next world, or hone your skills in Spooky World or T Day!
- 12 characters with unique personalities, weapons, and abilities
- 70+ upgrades to stats, weapons, and abilities, unlockable by collecting and trading strange matter found in-game. Hundreds of possible combinations to build in your load-out!
- Permanently upgrade stats at the Gene Works
- Destroy grenades and reflect enemy lasers with your melee attacks. Instant karma!
- Dive out of the sky with a powerful melee attack to smash ground based enemies
- A frozen world with a treacherous surface. Apocalyptic worlds that naturally rain meteors
- Elite versions of enemies with increased health and damage who drop more strange matter
- Try to fly too long above the battlefield and watch as the game punishes you for cowardice with a hailstorm of meteors
- A mini-boss and unique final boss who guards the path to the obelisk in each level
- Customize your load-out with up to 8 slots of possible combinations of the 70+ weapons, specials, or stat enhancements to tailor your approach to battle.
- Four ways to play: three challenging runs, and one endless stream of annihilation.
NORMAL - The most accessible way to practice and play. No flying enemies, no deadly glitch field, and only a handful of elites after the miniboss let you get to grips with the game. The catch? Loot isn't quite as valuable.
ENDLESS - The battle goes on forever here. There is no obelisk to reach, it is only you against the unstoppable horde. How far can you go?
ONSLAUGHT - The number of elite enemies increases. Harder foes and a midpoint mini-boss join the battle and deep in the world rests the obelisk, a strange artifact that destroys and resets the world.
WARPATH - The game pushes forward for an even more frantic battle. There is no time to stop and think. Behind you, the glitch field eats up the world. Your skills will be pushed to the limit! - An original and expanding soundtrack from Two Iron Fists

Alright, so the game is a little hard at first, but don't fret! It gets better, way better! At first the game was unpredictably hard, but after a few tries the timing gets easier and you start really finding out what the developers had in mind for you. It's a beautiful chaos of fast paced explosions and gunfire. Very satisfying. Between the speed, timing, enemy mechanics and the bright gunplay, you end up feeling like a boss by the time you put the controller down. Steam controller seems to work just fine too, for anyone who is curious. I recommend this game to all my friends. It's perfect for just blowing off some steam. 10/104 found this helpful
EDIT: after a few hours... I just don't think there's really any gameplay here. _____________________________ This is an odd game. If you go into it reading that it's something like Broforce, and equipping the passive to allow you to right-stick aim, it makes little sense. But the game originally was meant to be a one-hit-death game with no aiming whatsoever. Just going right, using your melee to bounce back projectiles, and flying over or digging underneath problems. So, to play it well, I suggest turning off right stick aim. Just hold down the melee buttons (X or left shoulder on Xbox 1 pad) pretty much endlessly. Then move right. Shoot if you want to stay on the same level but there is a melee enemy ahead who might slash first, OR if there is an explosive barrel. Or fly up. Or dig under the problem by just slashing through the ground. When it comes to bouncing back projectiles, ya just hold down melee. When it comes to being damaged, you worry about melee enemies, explosive barrels or dropping onto an enemy. And that's about it. Now, there's a vast array of upgrades which can produce some marvellous explosions. But I don't think the game will ever be anything more than a fu…3 found this helpful
Playing in full screen mode should not allow you to go off the screen with your curser if you have more than one monitor. Other then that the game is fun to play and a challenge.2 found this helpful

Only played for 35 miniute so far but this game is an old school blast, the Devs are cool guys who will listen to your idea's and obviouly it's a WiP but if your fan of retro side scollers with funky synth sounds and a good selection of wierd and wonderful characters check it out.1 found this helpful
