Very interesting game but ultimately not for me.

Great collectathon shooter with A LOT of promise. Play it fast, play it smooth and keep an eye behind your back! HELLSCREEN is not just a retro shooter, it's an experience that everyone should play.

Jamie has created an amazing and unique FPS experience! Using a limited palette to weave masterful and abstract level design, wrapping it up in delicious sound and music with a symphony of bullets, this game is sure to please any retro-style FPS enthusiast! I've been waiting for this game since Realms Deep 2020 and the wait was absolutely WORTH IT. Pick this up now!

this game has a lot of promise, as a fun boomer-style shooter with a hook (rear-view mirror). tl;dr: pros: super cool artstyle, exciting "metroidvania"-style FPS which there aren't enough of. cons: could have a bit more music variety, weapon-type variety, enemy projectile variety, movement upgrade variety. e.g., i wanted a melee weapon but i haven't seen one yet... i'm not recommending it at the current price...

It's incredibly difficult to encapsulate HELLSCREEN into a few words. Alien, hostile, uninviting, foreign, prismatic. A first person shooter that defies a straightforward description or summary. In it's current state there are a lot of glitches and flaws that need ironing out, which the dev is clearly hard at work on. But the initial burst of confused flailing is quickly followed by confident gameplay and astonishing...

Metroidvania boomer shooter format, really great visuals, and the rearview mirror mechanic has some really surprising and cool moments to it, lots of well hidden secrets!

I wish there was a mixed button. Because while I didn't enjoy my play through of the first level I can see how it may become fun when I have a better time to try it further. It just seemed very obtuse and hard to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing in order to progress. Yes I get "Shoot things and run around". I have played a few boomer shooters, but this was just hard to follow. I'll try it again, but so far I...

So I really regret not getting this sooner. I played the demo and thought it was amazing. The mechanic of shooting behind you with a "rear view mirror" is so unique. The music is fantastic, and the color palette is unlike anything I've seen. The game is a fast paced shooter that deserves your attention. However I did not buy it on release... I regret not doing so because I guess the dev cannot support themselves off...

Take Devil Daggers, Ultrakill and a rear view mirror, smash them into a blender, set it to the highest speed, let it rip, then launch it at some nightmare geography - That's Hellscreen. Played 20 minutes and absolutely hooked. Slick, speedy and very sexy - Combat shines, proper clever exploration, just oozes charisma. Pick up this absolute gem.

I was immediately drawn to many of the stylistic choices of this game, it looks great. I was a little less sure about the concept. Why would I want a rear-view mirror in an FPS? I am letting the game show me the way on this issue ... I think at this stage there is a bit more of a learning curve than one expects with first person shooters. But I think this is exactly why Hellscreen is a good candidate for Early...
