Metal: Hellsinger Review, and Tips

Metal: Hellsinger, a rhythmic first-person shooter, recognizes this and, as a result, veers shockingly near to the heart-pounding experience of live performance, laced with the type of off-the-rails improvisation that rhythm games seldom convey.

You play the part of the Unknown., a fallen archangel and dreaded enemy of the infernal pits, raging across hell’s eight levels armed with a sword and several other nifty-looking demonic weaponry.

You’re exploring the abyss for your lost voice, your revenge carried out to the tense, savage onslaught of heavy metal music, like an awful take on “The Little Mermaid.”

Metal: Hellsinger Gameplay

Along with being directed by the punchy rhythms of the soundtrack’s brutally bludgeoned drums, you are also urged to time your kills to the underlying beats of the songs. As a result, you may do more significant harm and hear more intense music as you grow more in tune with this beat.

As long as you can slay demons to the rhythm, what starts as an instrumental lullaby will soon transform into a full-fledged storm of melodic, furious metal, complete with terrible roars and passionate vocals.

But “Metal: Hellsinger” allows room for creativity thanks to its variety of weaponry, so it’s not only about maintaining time while slaying savage fiends. You don’t always have to kill everything in perfect time, which means “Metal: Hellsinger” isn’t a wholly unforgiving adventure. However, practice can help you find your rhythm and playstyle.

Metal Crosshair

Unlike Doom or Doom Eternal, Metal: Hellsinger’s bone-crushing musical accompaniments act as your conductor in this symphony of devastation rather than merely enhancing your attacks.

Your Fury multiplier rises as you time your strikes to the double-kicked drum beats. The longer you can sustain a string of precisely timed hits, the more powerful your attacks become and the more points you score—sort of like a heavier version of Pistol Whip with more mobility.

Vulgar Power-Up Display

You can access new challenges known as Torments by defeating each of the eight Hells. These are optional arena fights that change things up with some suitably sinister twists; in one, your weapon is randomly switched after each kill, forcing you to adapt your combat strategy on the fly quickly; in another, health pickups are removed, but your attack power increases as your health decreases, which has made for some pretty intense final moments as I’ve scraped towards the demanding kill counts they require.

The successful completion of the grants you sigils that may be worn in the primary levels. There are three of these torments on each level, and I’m having fun working my way through them (which does help to soothe the burn of finishing a playthrough in under four hours).

Verdict

Metal: Hellsinger is an enjoyable rhythmic riff on the metal-fueled mayhem of current shopping mode Doom.

However, its short duration, and limited array of weaponry and boss fights make it feel more like an exciting but incomplete collection of garage recordings than a completely fleshed-out album. Hellraising high-score chasers will undoubtedly get the most mileage out of replaying the eight-story missions.

Still, it falls short of id Software’s heavy metal masterpiece providing a genuinely meaty first-person shooter campaign. In addition, the lack of other modes or multiplayer makes it feel a little thin compared to similarly priced games. As a result, Metal: Hellsinger may not be the best demon-slaying shooter in the world, but it is a moving homage.
