INTRODUCTION

Hellpoint is a dark and challenging action RPG set in a heavily atmospheric sci-fi universe where the line is blurred between science and occultism. Once a pinnacle of human achievement the Irid Novo space station has fallen and its ruins are overrun with entities controlled by malevolent cosmic gods.

FEATURES

* Dozens of melee,ranged,armor pieces to suit your playstyle and weapons unlock abilities with use.

* Irid Novo is a massive interconnected world full of hidden passages,secrets and mysteries.

* A fascinating sci-fi universe reminiscent of classic sci-fi movies.

* If you struggle then ask a friend to help either on couch or online.

* Space station orbits a black hole in real time that triggers dynamic changes such as boss appearances,hordes,enemy stats and different locations.

PROS

Graphics are very good the world is very detailed and has a very creepy atmospheric world that feels alive and is a joy to explore.

The vast amount of weapons,armor,all look and feel different and how the weapons even have a skill that unlocks the more you use them.

There is alot of content in the game with some changes to the souls type especially regarding heals as rewards player for being more aggressive as is how you get your heals through combat.

The real time use of the orbiting black hole that changes the game is impressive as changes enemy spawn locations,stats,drops,and adds hordes all this gives the game a fresh feel.

Enemy variety is big and all are unique and different requiring there own strategies to defeat them.

The bosses are all very different and unique especially there move,fight style and strategy to defeat them.

There is alot of possible build types due vast amount of weapons,armor and alot of stats you can upgrade.

Has a very addicting gameplay as even when died alot still made me want try again and happy farm learn strategies as very rewarding when defeat bosses.

CONS

The game is challenging and multiple deaths to learn strategies may out some off that are new to souls type genre.

The camera can be annoying sometimes would make me exposed to surprise attacks.

OVERALL SUMMARY

I GIVE THIS GAME A SCORE OF 8/10

Overall has some issues but if you like souls type games this has a different take on couple of systems such as enemy spawning and a healing system that rewards a aggressive playstyle.

RECOMMENDED BUY VERY FUN GAME
