In its own way Hellpoint seems like a signature Soulslike, because despite all the mechanics it borrowed from its inspirational series, Cradle Games managed to make an original game. It's a game designed for lovers of the genre, although not for purists, and it has received constant support from the development team so it is expected that future patches will solve the performance problems.
Hellpoint is a dark sci-fi souls-like game that introduces some new features and ideas
in an attempt to differentiate itself from a common dark souls clone. Plenty of glitches
and bugs make it feel rushed and make it look like it’s still in beta. Overall, Hellpoint
has lots of promise, and could have been an amazing game if Cradle Games spent
more time in development.

It's like coffee... It's an acquired taste that can get quite addictive. You just have to pass the first 2 hours. After that, the game has a ton of stuff and features to discover.

If Dark Souls were set in space, it would be Hellpoint, a strong souls-like marred only by its similarities to so many others in its genre.
Hellpoint is a recommended game, even if not for everyone. If you are not a soulslike fan, spending about twenty hours in a less refined game than a "Souls-Borne" is certainly not a wise choice. If, on the other hand, you are a big fan of the genre, give it a chance as long as you are willing to ignore small but numerous bugs.
Hellpoint is a souls-like action RPG developed by Cradle Games and published by tinyBuild. It is an ambitious title that has incorporated a few great ideas. While the visuals, music, and sound are top-notch, the game does fall short in pacing and combat.
All in all, Hellpoint is a mediocre action adventure that could have been a lot better if it hadn't tried to copy the Souls series this much.
Hellpoint tries to incorporate familiar concepts you've seen from more popular action titles such as the Souls series. Unfortunately, it also adds various ideas that turn it into a jumbled mess. Combined with cryptic presentation of information, confusing level layouts, clunky combat, and abysmally bad platforming mechanics, it's one game that you'll say "Oh, hell no" to.
Awesome Game. Looks great and need not so much System performance. A really good choice if u like Dark Souls and like Sci-fi. And the Bugs all rdy gone. BUY IT!!

Hellpoint es un RPG de acción de tipo souls-like, que nos pone en la piel de un clon animado por la inteligencia artificial a cargo de una estación espacial inmensa, en órbita alrededor de Sagitario A; el agujero negro supermasivo que se ubica en el centro de la vía láctea, para recuperar la información necesaria que la permita retomar el control de la estación después de que haya ocurrido allí algo muy chungo y que iremos descubriendo con cuentagotas a medida que avanzamos por los oscuros pasillos infestados de amenazas y extrañísimos enemigos que ahora pueblan el entorno que antes estaba lleno de científicos.
Parece que todo aquel souls-like que no está amparado bajo el paraguas de From Software, padres de la saga Souls original, es una mierda. Lo digo por muchas críticas infundadas que se le dan a este tipo de juegos. Pero esto no es en absoluto así. Hellpoint es un juego indie, con unos recursos de producción muy inferiores a Dark Souls, pero aún así consigue una ambientación excelente, combate resultón y un diseño de producción que si bien gráficamente es lo que es, se apaña como puede para ofrecernos una aventura satisfactoria que nos va a mantener pegados al mando varias decenas de horas.
Hellpoint tiene todo lo que este tipo de juegos debe ofrecer para brindar una aventura satisfactoria, esto es: escenarios laberínticos interconectados, llenos de secretos donde encontrar extraños items de nombres aún más extraños que te pueden ayudar en tu aventura si descifras lo que son. Enemigos súper agresivos, que por pringados que sean te pueden mandar pal otro barrio a poco que te descuides. Jefes enormes que debes derrotar esquivando en el momento justo, aprendiéndote sus patrones y golpeándolos cuando la situación se de, no antes o después, por que de una hostia te vuelves a la última grieta estabilizada (hoguera). Muertes por mil motivos diferentes, bien porque has calculado mal el momento de los golpes, o porque has intentado llegar a ese ítem inalcanzable, que no sabes lo que es, pero te tiras a ello aunque debajo haya un abismo insondable, al que por supuesto caes, obligando a la siguiente iteración de tu yo a volver al mismo sitio a por los axiones (almas) perdidos. Todo eso y mucho más está en hellpoint. Un souls-like de manual que podéis jugar casi en cualquier máquina de la generación actual o la anterior. En el momento adecuado, por muy poco dinero.
Si sois fans de este género de los RPG de acción difíciles y despiadados, no sois demasiado exigentes con el aspecto gráfico, que ahí es verdad que el juego renquea un poco. Os habéis dado ya muchas vueltas a los Dark Souls originales, podéis darle una oportunidad a este hellpoint. Un hermano pobre de los souls, pero con mucho que ofrecer.

Has the ability to be a great game and is truly enjoyable combat and atmosphere wise. The problem is that the game is half baked and nowhere near a full release. You can spend hours grinding only to have the super rare and limited resources/weapons you spent time on just disappear from your inventory leaving you high and dry. Watch out if you are a gun/magic user as a disappearing main gun will leave you without a way to defend yourself and you will have to restart. There are obvious technical issues which arent a big deal as those are easy to patch. Missing currency/materials/weapons with poor hitboxes on certain melee gear, piss poor fast travel (also involves disappearing items that makes it so you can in no way 100% the game) etc are why I give this game a 2. If these issues were fixed I would say a solid 8+ but unfortunately the ability to lure players into an unfinished game only to choke their progress really breaks the experience and is more frustrating than rewarding. Here's hoping the devs can fix the issues quickly because this is a true example of a diamond in the extreme, s**t covered, maggot infested rough.

Summary Hellpoint is an intense action RPG taking place on Irid Novo, a derelict space station soaked in an intoxicating dark sci fi atmosphere. Fight dreadful creatures, face the Cosmic Gods and unravel their twisted story. Should the challenge be too great, play with a friend in local or online coop.
