HellCrunch

This game is NOT an old school style first person shooter. It feels like a very generic, slow paced shooter that lacks polish. First of all why does this game have reloading? What does this add to the game? Why so I move so slow when the gameplay is supposed to be fast paced? Where's the bunnyhopping? Also what is with the weapon balancing? The assault rifle is outclassed by the plasma rifle in literally every single way. The assets look a but too good to be true, I'm guessing they were store bought assets since they do seem to be quite familiar to assets commonly used in Unity asset flips. I could be wrong but this is how it seems to me If I am wrong, please leave a comment correcting me on this. On the plus side there seems to be some attention to detail and the levels seem open ended. The problem is that it makes the game difficult to navigate through and many of the empty space feels like a waste as players are slowly walking to the next area before they get a chance to kill anything, this is made worse by the fact that there doesn't seem to be any checkpoints in the level and if there are any checkpoints, they're very poorly placed as I have to restart the level right from…

So here we have HellCrunch. The game offers some open world levels and some random weapons. There is a meager storyline, but frankly I could not be bothered. Now on to the gameplay, the game pretends to be an old school shooter. But the devs will have to look up what that means. Enemies will kill you fast if you get to close(especially the shooting ones), so the only way to beat the game is to play at a distance and take it slow. Not that I mind but for a fast paced game, go look elsewhere. Also the game has these models that seem to be bought from the unity store, since I have seen them before in other games. And last but not least, the game is short. There is just way to much that could be improved in this game. In the current state this should still be in early access to be honest. So not recommended.

Ah, Hellcrunch! A solid game through and through. As advertised, the gameplay harkens back to shooters of by-gone eras with running and gunning and managing the resources of ammunition and health. The weapon selection is quite good, everything feels very kinetically satisfying from the humble shotgun to the laser guns to RPGs. The mega gun in particular adds a fresh flavour to a genre rife with old standards like shottys, machine guns, and explosives (as fun as they may be as well). The story is threadbare but let that not disuade you, the world is full of flavour and easter eggs to delight player with the explorers impulse. I must admit I spent a fair chunk of time looking for that dang racoon, though eventually the gameplay called me back and I gave up the search. I also appreciated the setting, I can't think of any other game that takes place in cottage country and it has an appropriately eerie feel to it. I particularly liked the waking-dreaming mechanic, though I am a sucker for that kind of thing personally. Overall I would highly recommend it, I went in expecting Doom but it has a more Serious Sam feel to it, which is something that I feel is sorely lacking in the modern …

No.

Easily the greatest game every created! It puts Half Life to shame, and makes Halo look like garbage. You owe it to yourself to play this game. It made my life complete!

Bland and repetitive....
