Metal: Hellsinger are recent work from The Outsiders, Swedish studio bought a few years ago by Funcom, which in turn was recently acquired by Tencent. The workshop is trained by veterans of DICE, Avalanche or Guerrilla, authentic artisans of this video game. In this descent into hell accompanies us rock-solid gameplay and a devastating sound section like the musical genre that the game highlights, metal.

Hells, beats and rhythm, lots of rhythm

Metal: Hellsinger it’s not just a shooter follow the trail of success of Loss (2016). It has everything ID Software knows so well, and adds a rhythm gameplay componentas he did so well in his time Necromancer’s Cryptor even Guitar Hero. The importance of music is paramount here, until the plot itself is a love song of the genre what concerns us We take the role of “The Unknown”, a being who cries vengeance against the beings of hell

Although the plot, that is, is a mere formality, some will even say that it is totally useless. It’s just an excuse to put the player in arena-like scenarios, in which we will not be able to advance until we have defeated all the enemies. These arenas are very well built and the player must learn to move and use all available resources welllike the crystals that restore our health and other elements that we can use in our favor.

Rhythm is the most important thing here, we have to square absolutely all our actions with the screen grid to get out of the situation. That is to say, we must shoot, jump, dodge and perform executions to the beat of the music, with an exclusive theme for each “screen” we visit on our journey through hell. So, the player must “unlearn” to shoot as soon as he sees enemiesbe governed by the rules that the title imposes on us.

Performance that lives up to the occasion
