Hellpoint is an action RPG with extreme similarities to the Dark Souls series. This is basically a Dark Souls clone. The only major difference is that the game takes place in space. Actually, if I am not mistaken, the whole game takes place on a space station called Irid Novo.
Players familiar with the Dark Souls series will probably have some fun with the game. On the other hand, people not familiar with the series will definitely have a harder time familiarizing themselves with the game. In case you don’t like Dark Souls, then you should probably stay clear of this title.
To be honest, the game doesn’t look bad for a developing team of seven people. The game of course looks inferior compared to any of the Dark Souls games in terms of production values, and it’s to be expected from a small indie studio.
Here are also the game’s key features:
- Souls-like gameplay in a unique setting: Explore the derelict space station of Irid Novo and face bizarre enemies with a tight and unforgiving combat system.
- Occult space story: Blending science and fantasy, the intensely atmospheric dark sci-fi setting will keep you searching for answers.
- Dynamic World: The Quantic System acts as a dungeon master; slightly transforming the game world every time you die and triggering events as the station revolves around the black hole.
- Jump-in co-op and PvP multiplayer: Ask a friend to press Start to join a couch co-op session or call for assistance online. Hellpoint offers a full, uninterrupted co-op story with shared loot drops.
- Split-screen support: The full Hellpoint experience is available in jump-in/jump-out split-screen multiplayer on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Below you can watch sixteen minutes of gameplay from the preview build of Hellpoint. Enjoy!

Thanks AJS.
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!

Into the trash it goes
Looks like some virgin upvoted their own f ucking comment 🙂
Not only the game looks like a BPOS, there’s an a55hole talking amid the gameplay video.
FML
The player character doesn’t even have a real shadow…
we waited so long for battle royal games to die and now we have to wait for soul clones and their kuntish low iq combat mechanic to die.
I feel like a sucker for continuing to update my PC when i see $hit like this. Cause all we get are garbage to come.
See i have no problem if someone is inspired by something else. but being inspired by dark souls is like being inspired by Feces and your like, “I wanna make that and sell it to people”… ughhhhh
I like Angry Joe stuff but this game just looks bland..
Man the gaming industry is infested with dark souls like gameplay. No originality these days.
I don’t mind copies being unoriginal as long as they end up being as good or better than whatever their are copying eg titan quest and grimm dawn, good copies; Wolcen trash bin citizen.
Feature wise this one seems better although this is a copy of a bad copy (Immortal:Unchained) and labaled with one of the worthless and meaningless labels out there right now, souls-like or dark souls like.
Not a good sign.
I could forgive the industry for being unoriginal if any of these clones were as good as the first Dark Souls, but they’re not.
I wonder if this is how fans of the original doom and quake felt back in the day, drowning in shoddy clones by developers that clearly didn’t ‘get it’…while other gamers started to sneer at FPS as a whole for being a massively oversaturated genre.
wtf. the main character looks like a creep?
