HELLBREAK
There’s a very wonderful current trend for old-school FPS games made in the style of Heretic and Duke Nukem, with those chunky 2.5 pixels, and I love it. But it also leaves me craving the same but shinier. HELLBREAK looks like it’ll offer me that—absolutely madcap first-person shooting, combined with violent spells, all with a sort of Diablo-infused bunch of health bars and upgrades.
It’s set rather nebulously between the two world wars, with a soldier in hell fighting to save his soul, and weapons that are demonic versions of the arsenals of the era, and will include a score system based on combos. It’s due to enter Early Access at the start of next year.
