Metal: Hellsinger

Sendo bem sincero eu queria classificar esse jogo como incrível, mas eu não vou conseguir. Não vou porque o jogo é cheio de potencial mas falha MUITO na execução. Falha em coisas assim, cruciais para não frustrar o jogador ao extremo.

Logo de cara, pra você saber se pra você vale a pena comprar:

Não tem checkpoints

No início do jogo pode parecer irrelevante porque as fases são curtas, mas lá pro fim você gasta uns 25 minutos só lutando contra monstro pra poder de fato chegar no boss. Imagina você ter que fazer esses 25 minutos novamente várias vezes só porque você não conseguiu passar do boss... Pois é...

Os monstros são extremamente repetidos e reutilizados

No códice do jogo existem 7 monstros originais no total. Sim, 7 monstros apenas. O resto do códice (que é bem curto) contém apenas variações desses monstros base.

Os bosses são apenas um boss

Você passa o jogo inteiro lutando contra "facetas" do boss final. Que são idênticas entre si e não trazem quase nada de novo pra cada luta.

A dificuldade do jogo é artificial

Eu joguei o jogo inteiro no "hard", no final eu tava tão de saco cheio de ficar repetindo a mesma fase inúmeras vezes que eu desci pro normal e zerei o jogo. Percebi que a lógica de subir a dificuldade é aquele velho sobe HP, sobe o quanto que dá de dano em você e é isso. Zero variação de golpes, comportamentos, nada. É só os mesmos inimigos só que buffados.

As armas são OK, mas são poucas

Na metade do jogo (coisa de 3,5 hrs) você já liberou tudo que tinha pra liberar. No total acredito que sejam 6 armas. Muito pouco na minha opinião. E ainda tem 2 armas de DLC pra você comprar. Além do jogo ter pouca arma, ainda pegam parte dessas armas pra fazer de DLC...

As músicas são muito boas, porém todas tem o BPM muito parecido

Eu notei isso da metade pro fim do jogo, não existe muitas variações de ritmo. É aquela mesma coisa repetidas vezes. Como são extremamente bem gravadas e produzidas, você não se irrita muito com a música em si, mas o ritmo fica meio sem graça depois de um tempo sem nada pra dar uma apimentada.

Tá, e por que você tá recomendando o jogo então?

Simples, o jogo é decente. Ele não é ótimo, nem excelente. Ele é decente. Se você pegar ele na promo, pagando baratinho talvez valha a pena. Visto que o jogo é curto e a platina dele parece ser bem fácil de pegar, pode ser algo legal pra passar um tempo, tirar uma onda e depois deixar pra lá. Queria muito chegar aqui falando o quanto esse jogo é incrível e como estou ansioso pra uma possível continuação (eles deixam essa possibilidade no final do jogo), mas se eles fizerem um outro jogo com os mesmos problemas desse daqui eu vou querer passar bem longe.

For the love of Satan Devs, please make half-beats a thing in the game. Its so frustrating that if I want to do a certain action on half-beat (half-beat action does not equal you're out of rythm) the game wont let me or punishes me for it. To be clear I dont need doubled fire rates and halved cooldowns, they are fine. But the lack of the possibility of being able to play on half beats just kills the fun so much.

Not to talk about, linear maps, lack of enemy types, weapons, bosses, attack-patterns etc. which all make the game feel boring.

The game mechanics are much more refined in BPM: Bullets per minute, u really could have gotten some examples from that.

Still a decent game because the 11/10 songs are carrying it, but not a great game for me especially not for this price.

If you like metal music, first person shooters, and rhythm games. Then this one is for you. I've only played a couple of hours, though not only is there replay value, but the soundtrack is sick. The story is solid too.

This game is a beautiful homage to the fps of 90. But it is not only a blunt copy based on nostalgia. It takes all the best things from this era and mix them with powerful music, well designed arenas, and rhythm based gameplay.

As in the fast paces fps games - only pure skill matters. This game encourages player to constantly move and train spacial awareness. Player needs to quickly think about next move and best usage of weapons between reloads. Keep up the rhythm. No time to stop.

The joy and sense of accomplishment with every finished Torment or defeated boss is so satisfying that I can't stop playing. Sometimes there is even an urge to rage quit but the second later I'm again repeating the Torment, mastering every movement, calculating every bullet and second to the point that I'm the rhythm :)

I think that the key concept of this game is that it is easy to play but hard to master. Simple FPS rules of movement and shooting combined with rhythmic game play with Torments' time limits, bring a freshness and new quality to this type of games.

So, if you are the kind of person that likes to suffer on the path to mastery, and you like company of brutal rhythmic metal music then this game is for you.

Doom with Rhythm

Take the corny dialogue of the Devil May Cry series, the brutality of Doom, the addicting rhythm mechanics of Hi-Fi Rush, and put it all into 8 chapters of fun.

In terms of overall content, this game is short, but sweet. Not easy by any means, so I suppose a lot of the replay value will be in trying to complete the game on Brutal difficulty. If you intend to do so, I highly suggest switching the right-click and left-shift controls. Dodging with right click takes getting used to, but your pinky finger will thank you.

I like the story. I love the music. I really love the gameplay. If you're a metalhead, a fan of the supernatural, and enjoy listening to the Sam Elliot sound-alike skull friend tell you what Styx crystals do (They're good for health) then you'll be as hooked to this game as I was.

The only issues I really have is with glitches that can straight up ruin your runs. I am talking about softlocks. I am talking about disappearing floors. It's weird and frustrating when it happens, but very seldom. Happened maybe 2 or 3 times in my 30 hours of playing, and I play like a crackhead, so that may contribute to it.
Oh, also, screw the torments. The aptly named torments are either extremely easy or ruthlessly difficult. In the "Literally complete this level perfectly or you lose" sort of way. Not fun. But not impossible.

As far as FPS games go, it's very fast-paced. Weaving back and forth constantly to keep your fury gauge up can make your head spin. Definitely pop an energy drink for this game. If you've played Ultra-Kill, it's like that.

This is the sort of game I want to see more of. I would even go as far as to ask for a sequel, or a new game with a similar premise and controls. This definitely lays the groundwork for an amazing genre of shooter, but my God, it needs more content. More story, more weapons, better mechanics, but fundamentally? Spectacular. I didn't perfect thi

One more thing. The DLC is kind of ass. The bow is fun, the machine pistol is ass. The music is amazing, though. Dream of the Beast and Morning Star are worth the DLC content alone. Don't get Essential Hits. They are not essential. I bought them on sale. I wish I hadn't.

i have never played a game with this style of gameplay and im glad i did, easily one of my favorites games ive played in years. Lore, gameplay, art, and soundtrack were all 10/10. Think guitar hero meets cod

Definitely an epic game with unique gameplay that will entertain you with Awesome Metal Songs and pure Doom-like Action!
Do you have some spare time and you want to enjoy it?
Do you love or like Metal Music?
Do you like FPS and Rythm Games?

Damn just get it and play it!

Main Downside: campaign is really short (despite has high re-playbility) so I advice to get this game when discounted.

It is really a shame that it does take just few hours to get finished, also story is just an excuse to go through it so isn't really memorable.

Very good rythm first person shooter game.
Excelent final level and ending the hype was through the roof.
10/10 proper video game.

Metal and bloodshed. Incredible smooth gameplay, OST rocks. Incredible game.

cringe call of duty voice narrator, runs poorly on the deck and no option to disable vocals on music. didnt enjoy it bh

I can see why others like Metal Hellsinger, but I dont, be because I basically suck (Im imperfect) at rhythm games. I might get say 50% of them right, but this doesnt act as positive reinforcement 50% of the time, its negative reinforcement 50% of the time.

Now thats not to say I find hellsinger hard, I am breezing through it, but I also have a decent amount of OCD and basically I get continually reminded that Im not 100% hitting the timing windows, and this makes me think I suck, and so I dont like the game.

Now outside of the timing stuff, the combat is basically too easy/kinda boring on medium - basically its just arena fights again and again. Im sure I can turn up the difficulty to hard, but then maybe my lack of timing coordination will matter and so I'll have a double whammy of 1/ being reminded Im not doing a good job, 2/ actually getting killed so I have to replay the arena.

I must say I do love the music however, and how its worked into the gameplay.

Doesnt seem like a match made in heaven for me.

The music in this alone is worth the price.
I was pretty impressed by the music, they actually got big names in the industry to do vocals, which is incredible. What really made me leave this review, is not only did they do all this amazing music, but they then sponsored LittleV - an artist who does metal covers of various songs - to do a cover of one of their songs.
These guys get it. I will be following these devs and look forward to anything else they do.
As for the gameplay, it's actually pretty good. I'm not really into FPS games, just not really my thing. But this game was really fun, even if you don't enjoy FPS games.

This is easily one of the most fun games I've ever played. If you even remotely enjoy metal, play this game.

I loved the game song choice, several musical layers adding with Fury stacks and general rythm slasher idea. You'd really better read in-game tips though, figured out recently that my dashes also should match the rythm and help build up combos :,)

This game was challenging to me as I am used to listen more than watch visual indicators and several songs were really tough to catch rythm of, it's easy to hear every 8th beat, but 4th and 2d can be pretty much tracked only in your head.

It's a pity that story mode is so short and I'd love to see advanced rythm slasher gameplay like plunges, casting spells, hold-release attacks, more mobility and etc.

The story is absolute dog water (the art is okayish and the writing is awful) but everything else is SO FUN.

If you're in doubt about playing this game just google the setlist of songs featured in it, i'm talking about collaborations with Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, System of a Down, Jinjer, Lacuna Coil... This soundtrack and the "doom-like gameplay" are enough to make me enjoy it for hours.

Maybe the "rhythm" aspect is a bit complicated for people who aren't into music based games, but you have the option to play on easy to practise a bit before attempting more challenging stuff later. It's so satisfying to fire a shotgun/crossbow in time with the beat of the song.

Very nice.

This game is a rhythm based shooter, meaning that you can'tjust go weapons free but instead every shot and every swing must fit the current beat. Kind of as if Doom were developed by a metal band.

The story is a rather basic tale about two beings in hell, nothing special really, but still nice to listen to. The narrator's voice is modeled after those badass metal biker talk shit guys that one might know from the scene. That makes him very cliche-like but also entertaining to listen to.

Even on normal difficulty the game throws you into quite challenging situation sometimes, and it is often required to approach a situation again with different preparation and tactics. But where the game gets REAL hard is the optional challenges which can be completed to unlock certain bonus perks. While most shouldn't take longer than 1-3 tries, some can keep you stuck for an hour or longer (those who played the game and struggled definitely know which one).

Graphics are nothing special but that's not what this game is about. The soundtrack however is pure metal beauty. If you're a fan of the genre and have a basic sense about rhythm, you're gonna have a great time here.

I recommend playing this game in short sessions of 1-2 hours, since it requires you to stay extremely focused on the beat all the time, which can become very exhausting. Overall, this game is a challenging but rewarding, fun experience and a true gem for metal fans.

One of the most unique games I've ever played. A very nice mix between shooter / action and rhythm. You gotta shoot, dodge, reload and KILL to the beat of the epic heavy metal soundtrack. With absolutely iconic singers from bands such as Trivium and System of a Down, you can't go wrong! Although I recommend it, I will say probably wait for sale because there's not a lot of content unless you don't mind replaying the game over and over just on harder difficulties.

You know what feels really bad?

not being able to dash in leviathan mode.

Play the base game. Ignore leviathan.

Metal Hellsinger is a unique mix of DOOM-style FPS action and rhythm gameplay, where every shot, dodge, and reload is best performed to the beat of heavy metal. When it clicks, it feels incredible—ripping through demons in sync with the music is insanely satisfying, and the higher your combo, the more intense the soundtrack becomes, with full vocals kicking in at max streaks.

The soundtrack is easily the highlight, featuring vocals from big metal artists like Serj Tankian and Alissa White-Gluz. The combat itself is solid, but the game does have some drawbacks. The weapon variety is limited, and with a relatively short campaign, things can start to feel a bit repetitive. The story is serviceable but ultimately forgettable, and while there are challenge modes for replayability, they don’t add much depth beyond the core gameplay loop.

If you're a fan of metal and fast-paced shooters, this is absolutely worth a play. Just don’t expect a ton of depth beyond the core gimmick—what’s here is great, but it doesn’t last very long.
7/10 (Good)

Making a heavy metal rhythm shooter and comission the soudntrack to two swedish metalheads who by chance knew mikael staine was bound to be a recipe for the best rhythm game and one of the best metal albums of the last 2 decades. Im still begging and waiting for an oficial release ofthe soundtrack.

Mix DOOM with a rhythm game and you'll get this masterpiece of a game. The concept is good, the execution is even better and the *Original Soundtrack* is the best of the best
It's fun, it's challenging if you want it to be, it's short but has gamemodes enough for replayability and if you like the music you'll be replaying soon enough

Epic in every way imaginable! Glad some1 decided to combine 2 finest forms of media—games and music

Great game and even better songs. The only rhythm game I enjoyed playing.

i adore the concept but the game never does anything interesting with it. most songs have nearly identical bpms and the bosses at the end of each level are nearly identical to one another. combine that with the fact that your only unlocks are new weapons and it makes the game feel pretty one-note (lol). the game is also way shorter than it should be, i did all the side levels and it only took me like 5 hours. it's not terrible, but i definitely wouldn't call it good.

Even if youre not that good at the game, its still a very fun and unique concept, albeit a bit short. hopefully, the second will be even better since their funding is increased lol

YES! IT IS GOOD! A real steal on sale!

I'm not the type for shooters, I'm not even a hardcore-metal-fan. My sense of rythm sucks. And I would recommend everyone to give it a try anyway. It's challenging (and you can adjust HOW challenging), runs smoothly and the music is fire. I twitched like a pidgeon to not miss a single beat...without success so far but eh. I know I'll replay it until I finally heard the entire damn song.

The plot is simple framework at best, the focus is on the fights and the music. If you want to see a metal album cover come to live, this is it. It's not for wasting some brainless hours - it's more an experience in short bursts. Great if you need around half an hour focused on something else. If this sounds good to you, give it a try.

This game has quite possibly the best soundtrack I've ever heard, EVER. (If you're a fan of metal, if not then this game probably ain't for you)

Gameplay is simple enough in concept, but it doesn't need to be complex for it to feel divine. A first person shooter, where you build up score by killing every demon in your path. But they give you a little metronome style indicator, to hit in tune with the music. The more synced you are with the song, the better your score and the better the music sounds.

Every hell is visually distinct, and the enemies get gradually introduced in a fun yet challenging way. Every gun looks beautiful and has a distinct purpose (although there are some that I like a lot more than others)

And the music! GOD THE MUSIC IS PHENOMENAL. Fuck, the soundtrack alone is enough to buy the game. I know I can't really describe the music in a review, just go listen to it in game. Its a transcendent experience, hearing the music get more and more complex the better you do at the game

GO BUY IT NOW!!!

Sorry, but that game's not for me.

Although the music is kick-a$$, I'm not impressed by the gameplay and weapons, which aren't powerful enough to my taste.

If I want to kill demons while listening to kick-a$$ music, then I know the perfect game.

It's called DooM Eternal.

10/10 soundtrack is near perfect only complaint is i NEED MORE we need a 2nd game PLEASE THE OUTSIDERS GIVE US MORE

I was originally going to not recommend this, but I think it's a fine enough game on Normal difficulty. It's a bit easy, and still some of the combat encounters feel quite padded, but for the most part it's a fun rhythm shooter with some odd design choices.

On the harder difficulty, called Demon, I found it to be frustrating in aggregate due to a collection of strange and kind of lazy design choices, which were used to increase difficulty in a very arbitrary way. It combines buffing enemy strength, with spawning more enemies, and then making you restart the level every time you die. I found this to be incredibly frustrating, made more so by the fact that the underlying game wasn't actually particularly challenging at all, but if I made one mistake (which I did often because I don't have great rhythm) I got sent back to the start. I wasn't too fond of that.

Eventually about halfway through I turned the game down a peg to normal difficulty, called Goat, I found the game to be incredibly easy, which confirmed my suspicions about the higher difficulty being kind of arbitrary. But the game was a fun power trip in that mode, still brought me close to death a couple of times but I always prevailed.

Under all the slightly wacky choices on top of it all, the core gameplay is actually pretty solid, though I've no idea why you can only take 2 weapons into a level instead of just letting you collect and switch between them all, Doom style.

In any case, it's a fun enough shooter to pass the time, but the higher difficulties are kind of shoddy. The voice acting is good, the story is fun, and the music is good, if that's your style.

So, here's why I refunded the game;

To start off, I do recommend this game to metal heads, rhythm game enjoyer's, and doom style game enjoyer's. However, the reason I refunded the game is purely because I found a lot of aspects in the game that kinda ruined it for me. The music as a start is very good. However, a lot of missions use the same BPM making the main story feel very repetitive. Now you may just say, play the survival mode and even with the DLC you can play not only heavy metal songs, and the songs that are not all the same BPM. Here's is the second and third problems I had with the game. The high BPM songs that come without the DLC do NOT fit the style of game. even when hitting perfect timings it doesnt feel like the combat flows, and even with some weapons it just does not work at all at higher BPMS, meaning that even in survival you would have to still only play the lower BPM songs so have a combat system that flows with the game and feels right. Secondly, the DLC, the song choices are amazing, the all (other than the paramore song) play really nice and smooth and feel properly synced. BUT. you can only play them in survival, and you can only play ONE song at a time. You cant have a queue of songs in the DLC due to licencing. I understand this is out of their hands, but its kinda a deal breaker for someone like me and probably a fair amount of people. Lastly, getting modded songs in the game is suggested by the devs, and they even have a extensive tutorial on their website. BUT this is only doable by downloading external software and even then, you can only put modded songs into story missions and can only have them in if they have a stable BPM (meaning the BPM doesnt change) AND not to mention that the process of actually putting modded songs into the game takes A LONG TIME making it just not worth the 3 minuets you hear it in a mission. Additionally it hardly works if you do it "quickly" as the hit timings and BPM would just be completely wrong.

If you're looking for a stunning single player, doom style, heavy metal endorsing, rhythm based FPS game. This game is for you.

If you are looking for all of the above, but one with a lot of diversity, easy to add modded songs to play in survival, unrestricted song queues, this game is not for you.

Wow. This game rocks!! I love music games, but they almost always fail on a couple of core issues. Either the music sucks, or the gameplay sucks. This one flips the bird to the failures of the past. If anything, I am upset there isn't more story to play through. Sure, it wasn't really anything special, but now I'm a bit hooked, and all I got to chase after is a rogue-like arena shooter. There's something really special here, and if they can manage it, I can see a game like this getting pretty big. Think of this like Doom, but the more you kill to the music, the better you'll be at Rip-n-tearing. Also, that final boss song is stuck in my head, and I can't stop listening to it. A huge warning!! You need to use wired headphones or speakers for this type of game. The latency can be adjusted a bit, but I found some earbuds are too delayed and inconsistent to play this proper. Still, totally worth the money, and I hope it succeeds enough to get more content going forward. Not just music packs, I need MORE GAME.

You should give a rase to dumbass who thought it's a great idea to remove dash from new game mode, such a wonderful thought.

I can't f DODGE! THIS IS SHIT!!!!

The game always crashes this thays, dev team is just loot the money and disappear!

A tedious, repetitive, and very basic "rhythm" shooter that is carried by a great soundtrack and not much else. The generic gameplay gets boring very fast.

Recommend for $5-10 max.

PROS:
-Excellent soundtrack (I don't listen to metal usually but I enjoyed this)
-Final boss fight was cool
-Game has an "always on beat" option to disable the very annoying rhythm requirement (this disables scoreboards)

NEUTRALS:
-Very short lifespan. Around 5-6 hours of playtime, but by the fourth level you've basically seen everything the game has to offer (except the cool final boss fight).
-Nothing happened in the "plot".

CONS:
-Rhythm mechanic is tedious, repetitive, and adds absolutely nothing to the game. To the contrary, it actually detracts a bit from the game.
-All the bosses (EXCEPT the final boss) were extremely generic and forgettable.
-It is very difficult to tell where many attacks (esp boss attacks) will actually land.
-There is extremely little content to the game itself, so it gets repetitive and boring quite fast. Very overpriced at $30.
-All of the levels are just bland deathmatch style rooms with generic textures everywhere.
-Torment levels (unlock upgrades) are generic. Even the arenas are reused multiple times.

Eight levels with a really neat game design. Little challenges and unlockables mean you are getting plenty of replayability. That being said if Im splitting hairs I would say probably get it on sale for even like $20 and youll definitely get your moneys worth.

Honestly as good as the game is, I am surprised I havent seen more press about it. I have only beat the first level so far but I am excited to play more. If for some reason my opinion changes drastically I will update this review.

lack of mid-mission saves saps joy from decent gameplay. No, I do not want to replay the exact same 20min mission, with exact same enemies spawning on exact same locations, for the 4th time because i died fighting the boss.

- metal music
- demon killing
- little silly skull you can carry around.

What else do you want.

Fantastic gameplay, killer OST, all around a killer rhythm FPS. The DLC songs are absolutely worth the purchase.

Only complaint is that we were promised an OST release that we still haven't gotten after over 2 years.

Metal: Hellsinger is pure adrenaline, passion, and chaos rolled into one supremely addicting and insanely fun experience.

The gameplay? Absolutely incredible. It’s smooth, intuitive, and gives you the freedom to mix your weapons and abilities into stylish hit streaks. Every weapon has its moment to shine, especially against certain enemy types, which makes choosing your loadout a key part of the strategy, and it feels so rewarding when you get it right. Syncing your attacks to the beat is beyond satisfying. Watching your hit streak climb higher and higher, knowing every move you make is perfectly in rhythm, is a rush like no other. And the feats that protect your hit streak from resetting? Chef’s kiss. They let you push for even higher scores and make the game even more addictive.

But let’s talk about the music because, honestly, it’s the lifeblood of this game. The soundtrack is dynamic, reacting to your performance in a way that feels exhilarating. When you hit that magical max combo of 16 and the vocals kick in? Oh man, it’s like the game shifts into overdrive. Suddenly, the energy skyrockets, and you’re not just playing, you’re living the music! I can’t count how many times I found myself laser-focused, doing everything in my power just to reach that peak and hear the lyrics blast through my headphones. It’s a reward so perfectly tied to your gameplay that it creates this loop of pure motivation and satisfaction. Honestly, there’s nothing like it in any other game I’ve played.

And then there’s Leviathan Mode: what an absolute gem of an addition. Turning the game into a roguelike where you start from scratch, clawing your way to power while unlocking abilities like dashing, is such a brilliant twist. It keeps the core gameplay fresh while challenging you to adapt to a completely new way of playing. But the cherry on top? The unique weapons exclusive to this mode. These are wild fusions of two existing weapons, creating entirely new tools of destruction that I never expected. Discovering these surprised me. they’re a testament to the creativity and love poured into Leviathan Mode. It’s a mode that keeps me coming back for more, and I can’t get enough.

Now let’s talk about what I REALLY love: the soundtrack. Oh. My. God! This music is everything. Every single track fits the missions perfectly, pulling you into the world of hellfire and chaos. It’s so good that I found myself headbanging while blasting through demons. Tracks like "This Devastation", "Dissolution", "Goodbye, My Morning Star", "Dream of the Beast", "Leviathan" and "Silent No More" are absolute masterpieces. These songs don’t just complement the gameplay, they complete it. These musics alone are enough to make me want to play this game over and over again. That said, the licensed tracks felt completely out of place. Honestly, they don’t belong in a game like this, and I avoided them entirely because they just didn’t vibe with the Metal: Hellsinger experience.

The story is a standout too. You play as Unknown, a devil who’s lost her voice, and you’re on a mission to take it back with the help of Paz, your companion who’s equal parts loyal and lovable. The narrative is haunting, open-ended, and perfectly suited for the game. Not hearing Unknown’s voice until the end (which is leviathan mode ending) was such a brilliant touch, it added weight to every moment of her journey.

And can we talk about the levels? Each one is so unique, showcasing a different part of hell, from icy landscapes to fiery infernos, every area feels distinct. The enemies are hellish and menacing, but a few (cough Elite Behemoths and Shield Demons cough) can get really annoying. Losing my hit streak because I got caught by the edge of their attacks was frustrating, but it didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed obliterating everything in sight.

Replayability is through the roof, not just because of Leviathan Mode, but because the music is so amazing I’d gladly play it again just to experience it all over.

If you love rhythm games or if you love metal, Metal: Hellsinger is a must-play. It’s a game that gets your blood pumping and your head banging—and I love every second of it.

Someone called Doom(2016) a playable metal album, well this is the real playable metal album. I suck at rythm games, so this is one of the hardest fps I've played, but otherwise the game would be a bit short. Especially at later levels you get 10+ waves on monster per "arena" which start getting repetetive. Overall yow will enjoy this if like metal and old-school shooters.

The game is fine but certainly not "Overwhelmingly Positive".
The engine choice (Unity) doesn't support the game's objective of being time accurate. Frame pacing is subpar. Otherwise the game loop is fun.

6/10

It's not for me. I get the appeal, but no matter how many rhythm FPS games I play, I just don't enjoy them. This game is well made and definitely isn't bad. I'm just so used to classic FPS games, whereas playing this feels like the game is taking away my autonomy and freedom. "No you can't shoot rn, have to wait.". Not a huge fan personally.

satisfying gameplay, D2 receptors in my striatum got tha dopamine flowing

wish they would add more campaign missions

Doom x Rhythm Game. Great soundtrack, Alissa White absolutely killed it. It's a short game, and bosses are the weaker aspect of the game. BUT, it's still a banger. Would recommend.

New Year's Quick Review:
+ very good rhythm game
+ good style
+ OST IS BANGER
+ great flow
+ gameplay is simple but good
~ plot is just okay
~ graphics are not great + it's game on Unity, but Style compensate this
- just 1 boss for every level and sometimes boss fight is easier than regular arena
Overall: very good rhythm game, u just have to get used to the flow of the game and u will kill everyone while listening super OST. If u love metal and FPS - this is a must have game, at least u can try it :)

This game is really good yes, possibly the best rhythm based shooter on the market since there isn't many games like this but i have one major complaint, arenas drag on for wayyyyyyyyy too long and the bossfights are a serious letdown seeing how its basically the same thing at the end of every level, other than that though i can happily recommend this game to anyone that likes shooters, rhythm and/or metal.

ITS DOOM ETERNAL WITH A PULSE.

high pace, "beat your best score" style game. Sure the number of levels is low, the number of enemy types is low, and the number of weapons pales in comparison to most FPS games, but it makes no difference. its so much fun. It has a decent leaderboard system without many clear cheaters at the top spots. but honestly besting my own score is the most fun part.

I haven't had this much fun beating myself in a long time.

fantastic short experience with great soundtracks

Nice game , enjoyed it with unique game play and quite nice story

Great take on the classic doom shooter with great musical tracks for all. The campaign takes at most 3 hours to complete, but with the other challenges and the extra music/weapons in dlc it seems to have a good bit of replayability.
