Игра "Hell Architect: Prologue" - это забавная и мрачная возможность примерить на себя роль адского архитектора. Пусть это всего лишь пролог, но он уже дает хорошее представление об основной механике игры: строительстве и управлении адом, попутно мучая грешников. Понравилось разнообразие пыток и способов выкачивания из грешников энергии – творческий подход разработчиков к адским мукам впечатляет. Графика стилизована и хорошо передает атмосферу мрачного юмора. Управление интуитивно понятное, освоиться довольно легко. Однако, Prologue ощущается немного коротким. Хотелось бы больше контента, больше степеней свободы в строительстве и больше возможностей для садистского отыгрыша. Несмотря на это, демо-версия успешно подогрела интерес к полной игре. Если вам нравится тематика управления ресурсами с черным юмором, "Hell Architect: Prologue" стоит попробовать. Жду с нетерпением релиза полной версии.

Nice prologue from that game, now I really need to play the full game. Cool managment-game around sin, demons, hell etc. Sounds are amazing, so the music, nice grafics. Smooth controls, not only in English, but the German translation was a bit weird on some points. Overall a great experience.

Demo it's ok, I could probably afford the real deal but honestly idk, I fear it's going to be like Fallout Shelter, hard to deal with resources at first, then at about 60% through completing the game fully there's nothing else left to do beside quests and minor optimazation The artstyle is moderate, not really asking much, since it's a prologue play it yourself before buying the game
