HellSign

The game has a ton of bugs, and is not extremely well optimised... I still had a ton of fun with the latest version; damn even made a Romanian translation for it... but it is still not the way to go. The devs themselves removed a ton of stuff from the Early Access, and it is simply a worse product. I recommend downpatching the game through Steam's console (you need the Early Access Depot, look for it at SteamDB) The only reason I made my translation mod is because I wanted to challenge myself to navigate their own messy code, and create a project that I could put on my CV. There's literally no reason to play the retail version, go for Early Access. The extra maps in the retail version literally go against the game's mechanics; I always preferred playing on House maps simply for the fact that the game was made specifically for those tight spaces; not wide-open forests and junkyards. If you're planning to buy this, downpatch the game and it might be worthwhile then. I really like the game, but I dislike the fact the retail version is worse; I can pretty much only play EA.

Unfinished game with lots of bugs, too bad it had good potential

This game is unique, that is why i got it. There are not alot of supernatural horror investigation games out there, and the ones you get are mostly about ghost hunting. I got this game because i wanted a game similar to buffy the vampire slayer, angel and supernatural and still to this day its hard to find a descent game on this genre. If you are looking for something like the ttrpgs hunter: the vigil or hunter: the reckoning. This is probably what you are looking for. A game based on hunter the reckoning is on its way but i dont have my hopes up just yet, we havnt seen alot of good WoD games lately.

This game was really cool at first but after a while all the flaws will really start grinding gears. I really tried liking this but do yourself a favor and pass. People say that this game was dropped mid development and it sure does feel like it. There are even things in the store front pictures that are not in the actual game. Cool ideas but really it's repetitive and unbalanced with broken progression. Mission difficulty is * rated so here basically my experience was: * cool enough ** I don't know if I should even be fighting the boss right now, but I will take it down eventually before I do anything else because I can. *** Well this is piss easy, why do these when there isn't much to gain? **** Where the hell are 4 star missions? ***** I swear this is the biggest difficulty jump of any game I have played. By the time I was able to beat the bosses the game wearing on my nerves. ****** Again where the hell are these missions... ******* ......nothing ******** I tried this once and my god, why the hell would I want to waste my time anymore. Looking for clues is already a pain in the grass, so why would I want to do it more but with my equipment only working half as good? It's lik…

[h3]General Impression[/h3] Buried in this mess of a game is a winning formula—one that balances combat, sleuthing, deduction, and preparation all into a congruent experience. Each activity feeds into another and ultimately leads you to the climactic showdown with the boss. HellSign leaves a strong impression and comes very close to pulling it all off, but, unfortunately, doesn't quite make it. The general flow of the game is to arrive at a location, use specialized equipment to hunt down invisible "clues," defend yourself against hostile cryptids while clearing the location, use the clues to identify the boss, and then return to your van to prepare for the final fight. Every foe—including bosses—has one or more distinctive weakness and strength that you can adapt to if you have foreknowledge of the situation, which you sometimes do. Progression comes from earning money from jobs and spending that money on weapons, armor, equipment, medicine, specialized ammunition, traps, and information on opponents you'll encounter. The character can accrue skill points to allocate in what I would generously describe as a skill tree (more like a skill shrub). Points can be reclaimed and freely…

this game is pretty good wish it had controller support
