We put Project Hel, the Ghostrunner DLC, to the test

With the arrival of Ghostrunnermany players might think that we would be facing a title with characteristics similar to those seen in mirror edge or other proposals of the style. However, as you level up, you quickly realize that this is an adventure with personality. Moving around in his cyberpunk universe is one of the most difficult experiences for the unaccustomed. The katana is one of the keys, and if you add to that extremely agile gameplay, you get the crazy formula of One more level. Now, Hel Project, its new DLC, arrives to expand the experience. We tell you how it happened.

Project Hel expands the Ghostrunner experience

In this analysis we will see how much you need to add Hel Projectand if this is enough for users who have already enjoyed the experience of Ghostrunner. The level design and its frenzy follows the same line as the initial proposal. It must be said that in this case the progression system of the adventure is the same, with a total of seven levels.

As at the beginning of Ghostrunnerthe first steps of Hel Project They will serve to put us in a situation. As a tutorial, the first level tells us what the controls are for each action, as well as a brief introduction on how to get around by everybody. From the menu we are already warned that this is a plot that precedes the story of Ghostrunnerand that despite this, we are encouraged to play the base game.

The first image as soon as it starts is similar to that of Ghostrunner. In the first person, we enter the eyes of Hel, the boss of Ghostrunner. Mara, the governess, reappears in this DLC to entrust us with a mission. On her violent and frantic path, Hel will either have to follow in her footsteps or face off against this tyrant and his minions. What is clear is that once again we will have to survive in a world that will constantly try to kill us.

more and better

With Hel Projectthe universe of Ghostrunner extends to the aforementioned seven additional levels. However, do not expect anything particularly revolutionary as far as gameplay is concerned. If you are a fan of the base game, Together offers a plus and better, but following the same line that has already captivated users previously.

The scenarios also follow the same cyberpunk trend, without straying too far from what has been seen so far. Yes with the challenge as the central axis of your adventure. If this time we put ourselves in Hel’s shoes, the challenge will be just as colossal in most cases. They add up new bosses who will make things quite difficult for us, of which Bakunin will be the first. This difficulty will go crescendo, with an end which, without spoiler, will be a real madness. So, if you haven’t tried the initial adventure, as the video game indicates, I recommend that you better start there.

a second chance

As you know, in Ghostrunner we can die from a single impact, so we must be ruthless at all times. But to fight these enemies and overcome the new and ingenious levels, we will have a little extra help from the start. contrary to Ghostrunner, to Hel Project we start with the rage meter. This is located in the lower left corner, and when it exceeds 50% we will have an active reflector shield It’ll keep them from killing us on first impact.

There will be several recharge points for this shield throughout the map, usually one for each “room” in which we have to fight with enemies. In addition, this will be accompanied by the “boosted” abilitya plus that will launch an attack on our enemies, as long as the meter is sufficiently charged.

But in addition to that, the “surge” will also be used to complete certain mini-puzzle. And it is that there are still some secrets hidden by the scenes of Hel Project. This skill is therefore essential. In short, more content for a game than will continue to give fans what they are really looking for, a more and better.
