Overview:
Hellpoint is an intense action RPG set in the dark, sci-fi universe of Irid Novo, a once-thriving space station now turned derelict and overrun by malevolent cosmic forces. The game combines the brutal combat and unforgiving mechanics of the Souls-like genre with a hauntingly atmospheric setting reminiscent of H.R. Giger’s work, creating an experience where science and the occult blur into a nightmarish landscape.
Setting:
Irid Novo Space Station: Players explore this colossal, interconnected space station orbiting a mysterious black hole. The station’s position relative to the black hole triggers dynamic events, affecting enemy strength, opening new pathways, and creating unique challenges during “accretion storms”.
Atmosphere: The game is soaked in a dark sci-fi atmosphere, with each area designed to immerse players in a sense of isolation, dread, and cosmic horror. The architecture and enemies reflect a fusion of human ingenuity corrupted by otherworldly influences.
Gameplay:
Combat: Engage in methodical combat with light and heavy attacks, evasive maneuvers, and a variety of weapons from melee to ranged. The combat system emphasizes timing, pattern recognition, and strategic use of resources.
Character Customization: Build your character according to your playstyle with stats like Strength, Dexterity, Energy, and more. Weapons can be upgraded at terminals with mods and special abilities unlocked through use.
Co-op: Face the horrors of Irid Novo alone or with a friend in local or online co-op. The game supports uninterrupted co-op from start to finish, with shared loot and experience.
Exploration: Discover secrets, solve puzzles, and navigate through environments filled with hidden passages and alternate routes. The station’s layout encourages exploration, with shortcuts that become available as you progress.
Narrative: As a Spawn of the Authority, your mission is to investigate the catastrophic event known as the “Merge,” piecing together the story through environmental storytelling and interactions with the remnants of the station’s inhabitants and the Cosmic Gods themselves.
Features:
Dynamic World Events: The station’s orbit around the black hole leads to real-time changes in gameplay dynamics.
Challenging Boss Fights: Battle against large, unique bosses with distinct mechanics and lore.
Ghost Mechanic: Upon death, a ghost version of your character appears, hunting you down, adding an additional layer of challenge and strategy.
Crafting and Upgrades: Use Axions (the game’s currency) to enhance gear, craft new equipment, or unlock abilities.
