Not really for DS fans
If you like the exploration of Dark Souls but don't care for the boss fights, this game may be for you. Hellpoint is a bit casual, but I don't think that's entirely a bad thing. First, it does away with one of my biggest issues with Dark Souls, which is scattering a ridiculous amount of annoying mobs throughout the world, impeding you from the joy of exploring. Generally, enemies in Hellpoint are more of a nuisance than a threat once you've leveled up a little. They deal very low damage and, for the most part, rarely stagger. You'll even go through a few areas of the game where there will be absolutely no threats, allowing you to focus on pathfinding, soaking in lore, or admiring the environments. In my opinion, this does absolute wonders for the game, and it's great to be given the chance to breathe and take in the world. That said, while the world isn't nearly as detailed as DS, there's a lot of variety to the environments, the art direction is fantastic (reminds me a lot of EYE Divine Cybermancy) and the ability to actually jump opens up a little vertical navigation you simply won't find in DS. Sadly, outside of exploration and art direction, Hellpoint doesn't do much to impress. There's pitiful enemy variety, with the devs going so far as to copy-paste early game bosses, including their full movesets, as weaker mobs. Weapon variety is also poor, consisting of: high-damage slow attack 1H, medium damage fast attack 1H, or low damage faster attack 1H. There's no 2H for whatever reason, meaning shields are basically a given. Meanwhile, the bosses are a bit of a joke. I've killed one of the endgame bosses by continuously stun-locking him while not even wearing endgame gear. Arguably worse, at least one of the bosses I faced was incredibly buggy and would continuously hit me through walls with projectiles and land hits on me even when facing in the opposite direction. For a game that's a year old, this really should have been fixed by now.
