    game feels a bit repetitive. the boss fights are literally copy and paste sadly. the storytelling cutscenes feels a bit lazy but the voice acting is pretty good. i didnt really enjoy the ost all that much either. feels like bullets per minute was better in their soundtrack. they should have mixed it up with kawaii metal or something. this game feels like a high 6 or low 7 imo

    I feel as if there’s a lot to commend in this game, the voice acting is great, the music is good, and I say that without being a heavy metal fan or anything like that, I’m really just more into bands like Queen or The Beatles, stuff like that, but I still enjoyed the soundtrack of this game quite a bit, and the concept is fantastic, you have to match your movements and shooting with theI feel as if there’s a lot to commend in this game, the voice acting is great, the music is good, and I say that without being a heavy metal fan or anything like that, I’m really just more into bands like Queen or The Beatles, stuff like that, but I still enjoyed the soundtrack of this game quite a bit, and the concept is fantastic, you have to match your movements and shooting with the rhythm of the game, and as you score higher combos the music becomes more elaborate and complex, by the time you reach the highest multiplier (16x) the vocals kick in and then, when everything starts to “click” you get into this state of flow that’s soothing and fun, and a tad bit stressful in a way, because you don’t want to miss a bit, is pretty cool, but…

    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

    Графика, музыка, игровой процесс - всё замечательно.
    Единственный минус ритмшутеров, что надо делать все действия в 1 и тот же такт. Хотелось бы не тум-тум-тум, а под музыку делать действия, вроде тум-тудудум - тудум - тум - тум - тудум.

    the rhythm mechanic just hinders gameplay on telling you when and when not to attack that is it if it had only been for score this game would be better but instead they make it less fun with this

    This was simply the most fun I've had gaming all year. Cant say I've focused that hard while headbanging to a video game ever in my life. The guys who made this clearly know what metal fans wants that line up of artists is legendary. So many vocalists from bands I've listened to for most of my life. Got to love this game for what it is. Simply legendary

    Doom, but without any sort of level design! You get locked in a room, have to clear out multiple waves of enemies, then go to the next room. Then repeat like 4 more times until you get to a boss. But they added a rhythm mechanic! Not that it actually makes the game more fun; it only limits the times when you can attack.

Из однозначных плюсов в игре только музыка, но опять же ее очень мало. Возможно, ситуацию исправят дополнения, но я не уверен, что они будут распространяться на безвозмездной основе, а игра уже сама по себе стоит дороже BPM, который хоть и выглядит, как говно, но предлагает ровно столько же, а может и больше, за меньшую цену.… Expand

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.

    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.
