    Pontos positivos:
    trilha sonora incrivel, puro heavy metal dos bons.
    Pontos negativos
    Tenta ser um Doom, porem...
    inimigos simples e pouca variação.
    Toda fase tem o mesmo boss, so muda os ataques.
    Achei bem simples o jogo e tinha potencial.

    The best rhythm game out there. Synching attacks to the beat not only deals more damage, but they also become faster. At max combo the vocals kick in and make the experience even more intense. It's everything what this genre needs to be and doesn't overstay its welcome.

    ========
    only worth 15 dollar
    ========
    - 3.30 hour long.

    -short very very repetitive game but fun, repetitive bad lvl design, little enemies type, samy bosses and u will use only dual pistol other weapons useless.

    -only good its doom with beats and soundtrack.

Metal: Hellsinger is an incredible example of the interesting combination of first-person shooter and rhythm games in a couple of heavy metal, that are already included as soundtracks of the game (saw someone write "you bought the cool album and game as a gift" and maybe he right) it brings stunning experience. The graphical part is not so great but I can't name it as awful or something like this ok. The plot is also kinda interesting and brings it to the user in painting with the voice of the speaker. the last and most important part is gameplay you need to beat hundreds of different mobs in arenas with bosses in the end. Probably someone can think that it is easy to deal but you need to shoot exactly in the rhythm of the arena to maximize your damage. Also, the game doesn’t punish you if you miss all of your shots you still can play and enjoy the audiovisual masterpiece. so I highly recommend this game at least try it because it brings to the usual first-person shooter genre something new.… Expand

    Excellent! Although I'm not that fan of a metal, I still enjoyed the music and gameplay immensely. Simple shooter and this brutal music blend into an amazing experience. The game is just the right length as well, and you may extend it by completing trial runs if you feel like you need a bit more.

    Саундтрек в игре крутейший. Буквально каждую композицию себе в фонотеку забрал.
    Много различных инструментов, широкий диапазон вокала, от чистого до скрима. Все это красиво и круто.
    Но для ритм шутера это страшно. Из-за такого обилия элементов ты банально не слышишь барабаны, в бит которых тебе нужно стрелять, чтобы наносить хоть какой-то урон. Ты больше смотришь на индикаторы рядом с    Саундтрек в игре крутейший. Буквально каждую композицию себе в фонотеку забрал.
    Много различных инструментов, широкий диапазон вокала, от чистого до скрима. Все это красиво и круто.
    Но для ритм шутера это страшно. Из-за такого обилия элементов ты банально не слышишь барабаны, в бит которых тебе нужно стрелять, чтобы наносить хоть какой-то урон. Ты больше смотришь на индикаторы рядом с прицелом, чем слушаешь музыку, чтобы хоть как-то попадать в бит. А от этого как бы теряется основной смысл игры. Доставляло это массу неудобств.
    Для сравнения можно взять тот же Bullets Per Minute, в котором музыка гораздо менее нагружена элементами, где бит барабанов выходит на первый план и очень легко считывается. Таких проблем как в Хеллсингере у меня там ни разу не было.
    Визуал максимально дефолтный. Ничего интересного, кроме дизайна главных героини и злодейки я тут не увидел.
    Оптимизация достаточно посредственная. DLSS нет. На своей 2060 в 1440р мне пришлось играть на минималках, чтобы выжать из игры более-менее стабильные 60 фпс в 99%. И то они почему-то на глаз ощущались как фпс 45-50, из-за чего каждый уровень-два я делал перерыв. Давал глазам отдыхать.
    Как шутер игра так себе. Дизайн уровней просто приемлемый, не вызывающий особо никаких эмоций, но и проблем тоже. Импакт у оружия впринципе чувствуется, но в основном за счет музыки. Хотя тут на меня еще повлияло, что я в бит попадал только в 40% случаев.
    Боссфайты мерзотнейшие. Мало того, что это из раза в раз один враг с парочкой новых умений. Так еще и атаки их почти не телеграфируемы. Когда они начинают швыряться фаерболами куда-то в потолок, или тебе за спину, ты вот вообще не понимаешь, куда тебе там надо отпрыгнуть, чтобы этого урона избежать. Из-за чего ловишь кучу дешевого урона а так же дикую фрустрацию. Не говорю уже о том, что никакого отхила во время боссфайтов не предусмотрено.
    Во время обычных перестрелок ты можешь отхиливаться через добивания врагов. Тут же только один враг, потому хп доставать почти неоткуда. У тебя нет никакой возможности отыграть свои хп назад, после всех этих нечестных, не телеграфируемых атак. И это бесит до неистовства.
    В итоге получается уныленький шутер категории B. Если бы не саунтрек и, в частности, не финальный боссфайт. Эпичнейший финальный босс файт под вокал Сержа Танкяна. То я бы поставил крепкую 5. Но музыка до 7 вытянула. Есть ощущение, что на всех этих известных вокалистов основная часть бюджета и ушла.    … Expand

    I used to love guitar hero and i love fps games. Simply, they combined them.
    For music part, you dont have to love metal, if you just dont hate it, probably you will like this game.
    For fps part, its not bad at all, sounds and feelings are good enough to get lost with music.

    My rate was 10 but im making it 8 just because of the same bosses, it got boring towards the end.

    Sadly, the game has a couple of shortcomings, and ultimately, I decided it would be best if I stopped playing it all together because, frankly, I stopped enjoying myself around the midway point through the game.

    The fact is, as much as the concept is cool, there’s not enough variety in the gameplay to truly justify keep playing it, the game is composed of eight different levels, and can be beaten fairly quickly depending on the difficulty and how good you are, as well as if you replay levels or not, but there’s not much difference in these levels, not visually, not by design, and after a while they all start to blend in quite a bit, this happens with the enemies as well, both in terms of how they mechanically behave, as well as how they look, the enemy design just doesn’t change much from the start, there a couple of new enemies here and there but they’re not different enough to truly provide the much needed variety the game requires.

    Then there’s the fact the game unlocks items and weapons for you but there are two issues with this system: first, the games unlocks are scripted, this means you unlock the guns in the order the game tells you to and “when” the game tells you to; and second, the game sadly requires you to replay the levels with modifiers that make them more difficult in order to unlock new items…

    I frankly couldn’t be bothered replaying the game’s levels for the reasons stated before, I found it to be to repetitive, not unchallenging enough; if anything, the game is fairly challenging and difficult, even on the easiest setting which allows you to respawn three times in exchange for some of your score, in contrast with the hardest difficulty disabling the ability to respawn within the level in its entirety. I personally really dislike when game devs add easier difficulty settings but don’t care enough to balance them properly.

    At the end of the day, I just was left feeling a bit disappointed for the lack of variety, I also didn’t like how the newer weapons have different firing rates making it more difficult to maintain the weapon rhythm because of it, the shotgun fires at a different pace than the crossbow which only has two shots, for example.
    Don’t think the game is for me, maybe it’s a lesson for me as well because I disliked BPM as well, quite a bit actually, much more than Hellsinger; maybe the lesson to learn is that I’m not into these types of new, shooter, musical games? I’m glad they exist though, so it’s a bit of a contradiction on my part, but I don’t know…    … Expand

    What sets the game apart from other massacre games like Doom, however, is the fact that weapons and your accuracy aren't the only factors affecting your ability to destroy. That X factor is in fact the music, which serves not only as an atmospheric backdrop but also as a crucial mechanic. [Issue#322]

    Metal: Hellsinger is a heavy metal FPS that feels like a love child between Doom and a rhythm game. While the lack of variation in its maps and boss battles is a pity, killing hordes of demons while listening to one of 2022’s best soundtracks is an exhilarating experience for sure.
