    Metal: Hellsinger is an indie that no one who loves shooters, frantic games or rhythm games should miss out on, especially if they have already played works like the DOOM franchise before, as this game will steal their hearts with its song.

    I really found myself engrossed with Metal: Hellsinger, and the solid FPS gunplay paired with a challenging rhythm mechanic keeps you pretty engaged throughout. It’s a neat concept that certainly hasn’t worn out its welcome so far, and I’d certainly like to see it expanded upon in the future, so hopefully a sequel or DLC won’t be out of the question. Definitely check it out Metal: Hellsinger if any of this sounds intriguing, you won’t be disappointed.

    It’s ROCKS!!! Metal: hellsinger is the perfect “heavy metal” FPS. It’s like a music disc with a free game inside.

    It's not all that unique, with games like BPM: Bullets Per Minute already "inventing" some of these concepts, but the quality is undeniable, and FPS fans should not skip this one for sure. Especially since it's launching day one into Xbox Game Pass.

    Metal: Hellsinger is a raw, old-school style of FPS, which a kick ass soundtrack that showcases a new rhythm mechanic (using original music from the team) while including lots of things from the recent versions of the Doom franchise. ‘Glory Kills’, air dashing and more are all here but even with those elements the developers have done enough to make Metal: Hellsinger feel different and unique all on its own. Its inclusion of the rhythm mechanics and even the ‘bullet hell’ aspects of some fights that have players dodging bullets and enemies around an arena is one of those things. This might not be the best example of a demon slaying game done right, but this is a fantastic tribute to those that have come before and a great example of thinking outside the box and taking a change on something different in a sea of sameness.

    A hardcore heavy-metal shooter boasting a side order of rhythm with its brutal ultra-violence, Metal: Hellsinger is good fun, but you'll probably get a lot more out of it if you actually enjoy the music.

    Metal: Hellsinger enlists some all-star musical talent to bring its dream of metal-based FPS mayhem to life, but stumbles in finding its gameplay rhythm.

    That was AWESOME! Like, Iron Maiden and Doom made a child and named it as Metal Hellsinger.

The soundtrack is top notch. The gameplay is fluid and fun. The skill ceiling is high. The replayability is there, and I can't stop coming back to it.

    An individual's personal enjoyment of the game will hinge mostly on their enjoyment of the soundtrack, which has been bumping on many of my car rides or during household chores. I can't get enough of it. Inject it directly into my veins!

    The gameplay is fun and simple. While enemy and combat variety is limited compared to a game like Doom: Eternal, Metal: Hellsinger's sandbox better fits its speedrunning/perfectionist/high-score game-loop. Still, the lack of variety can stand against the enjoyment of the game to some, I imagine.

    I was considering getting all achievements in Metal: Hellsinger I loved it so much, but sadly there was a bug that caused the achievement for completing all torments not to pop for me, so I gave up. Bummer.

    Metal: Hellsinger is an absolute beast of a game, and is without a doubt one of the best games of the year and a Game of The Year 2022 candidate for me.

    Update: Metal: Hellsinger is my Game of the Year 2022.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ритм-шутеры довольно нишевый жанр, но у the outsiders получилось сделать игру, которая может понравится даже если вы не фанат жанра. Самое главное, стрельба и музыка, сделаны отлично. Каждое оружие уникально и хорошо вписано в темп игры. Жаль, что на уровень можно брать лишь две пушки. Мне кажется это сделано, чтобы при игре на геймпадах не сбивать темп, включая колесо смены оружия, но всё равно из-за этого я пользовался лишь пистолетами и арбалетом всю игру. Ещё хочется отметить местные руны, которые могут сильно изменить ваш игровой опыт. Например, я полностью прокачал руну, которая позволяет первые выстрелы делать без перезарядки, и благодаря ей, я мог больше не перезаряжать арбалет и превратил его в машину апокалипсиса. И получать эти руны тоже интересно. Выдаются они за испытания, например убивать врагов только добиваниями, убивать при уменьшающемся арсенале и т.д. Проходят они на отличных от сюжетных аренах, и в совокупности, испытания отлично разбавляют геймплей сюжетных уровней.
    Вся музыка, не смотря на необходимость вписываться в бит игры, разная и запоминается. Но в последнем уровне, кроме момента с боссом, что-то не так, и становится очень тяжело попадать в ритм. То ли это из-за самой музыки, которая выбивается из темпа, то ли из-за какого-то бага, я так и не понял.
    История у игры простая и ни на что не претендует. Она тут нужна, чтобы обосновать, почему героиня идёт к главному боссу, и со своей задачей вполне справляется.
    Из минусов, под конец игра начинает утомлять. Но разработчики видимо это понимали, и игра заканчивается, не успевая склонить вас в сон, поэтому, в целом, впечатления остаются положительные.    … Expand

As someone that enjoys music and rhythm, this was the ideal game for me. Got it into because of the achievements and ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. The ending and the post-credits scene does indicate that it could have a sequel, which I'm hoping expands the lore and brings more badass music.… Expand

    I wish the boss fights throughout were better. All of them underwhelmed outside of the final boss. I also wish the weapon varieties and rhythm patterns were more varied. The entire game seems to play at the exact same 'rhythm' no matter which weapon you use, and all weapons are made to work within that seemingly constant rhythm. More variety would've made the game more challenging and fun, IMO. The music, while very good, was a bit lacking in the first half of the game. The metal songs sound really generic, but it definitely picks up in the latter levels. Especially the final level, but again, I wish more of the game was like that final stage. It's worth playing, and overall it about met & maybe exceeded my expectations, but there is clear room for growth in a potential sequel.    … Expand
