Hellpoint<\/em> has been released and it is hard to say that it doesn’t remind everyone of the infamous\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em><\/a> series with its dark atmosphere and tough combat design that leaves players frustrated but always coming back for more punishment.<\/p>\n

This time the punishment comes through a sci-fi\/fantasy concept that players have found somewhat interesting. Much like\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em> features the ability to play how you want whether that would be magic or physical attack. It’s a fresh look into an action RPG format,<\/a> but that doesn’t mean\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0<\/em>isn’t still the king.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Hellpoint – Jumping<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hellpoint<\/em>, like other action RPGs that have been compared to\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em>, allows players to jump and adds the challenge verticality to the game. This concept is great and something that would be nice to see in\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em>. Sure, you get that little running jump in\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em> that allows you to traverse the map, but it is nothing compared<\/a> to what it is actually like to jump and maneuver around objects. Like\u00a0Sekiro,<\/em><\/a>\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em> brings jumping into the equation and it doesn’t hurt.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Dark Souls – Combat<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dark Souls<\/em> is perhaps the king when it comes to combat. Every aspect of the combat is finely tuned and fair even when it feels like you are getting your rear end handed to you by every enemy.\u00a0Hellpoints<\/em> version of combat feels a little clunky and lacks the smooth style that\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em> has perfected over the years. It almost feels like\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em> really is the king of the action RPG combat style<\/a> among other games that have tried the formula.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Hellpoint – Atmosphere<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dark Souls<\/em> has always had a dark atmosphere that fans have enjoyed, but\u00a0Hellpoint’s<\/em> atmosphere does a good job of bringing the dark back to\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em>. It has darkened hallways and creepy areas that really bring out the feel of an abandoned ship in space. The atmosphere<\/a> of\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em> is similar to\u00a0Dead Space<\/em><\/a> and\u00a0Doom<\/em><\/a>. Over the years,\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0<\/em>has had a somewhat lighter-styled atmosphere with some notable exceptions, but\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em> really shows off the darkness well and it fits with the theme that the game presents.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Dark Souls – Magic<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hellpoint\u00a0<\/em>lacks the ability to use magic except when wielding specific weapons. This isn’t a problem in\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em>. Magic in\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em> is much easier and versatile than in\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em>. Place a few points into intelligence and you are good to go as long as you have a staff.<\/p>\n

You can even use pyromancies if you have the pyromancer’s flame. In\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em>, you are bound to the specific abilities of the catalyst you are using which makes gameplay more difficult and takes away the versatility that you have in other soulslike games.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Hellpoint – Demons<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the mechanics in\u00a0Hellpoint\u00a0<\/em>requires players to use the observatory. Twice a day the eyes in the observatory will align. This brings new enemies into the world that players can challenge. These enemies are more difficult than standard enemies<\/a> found in the world and offer good rewards for defeating them. This mechanic brings in a degree of unpredictability into the world of\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em> that makes the game feel more alive.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>\u00a0Dark Souls – Multiplayer Functionality<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0<\/em>formula for multiplayer is something that is tried and true and works for the setting that it takes place in. It has a simplistic feel to it that makes it easy for any player to grasp and use within a short time of playing the game.\u00a0Hellpoint\u00a0<\/em>has a multiplayer as well that is a bit trickier<\/a> to figure out and requires a matching code to enter co-op with someone. Once they are in, it feels a little weird.\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em> feels like it was meant for more singleplayer people than multiplayer.\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em> has always had amazing PVP and Co-op which is why it still stands true that it would be better than\u00a0Hellpoint’s.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Hellpoint – Interactable Environment<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hellpoint<\/em> has multiple alternate routes to get to places within the map and environmental puzzles. This helps the game to feel more mysterious<\/a> and gives players more of a reason to explore. You can find secret switches and elevators that will take you to other parts of the map as well.\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em> has a version of this with illusory walls, but it is nothing compared to the necessity to always be checking around for multiple ways to interact with the environment around you like in\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em>.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Dark Souls – Bosses<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dark Souls<\/em> bosses are the ultimate test of skill for many players. They are difficult<\/a>, yet fair, and can easily be killed if you are skilled (or overpowered) enough. Everyone remembers their first encounter with a\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0<\/em>boss no matter if they started off with\u00a0Dark Souls 3<\/em> or the original.<\/p>\n

Each boss is memorable and challenging in their own way.\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em> has multiple bosses as well, but they don’t come off as memorable and instead feel more like an obstacle in your path as you try to get to more areas of the map.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Hellpoint – Leveling System<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The leveling system in\u00a0Hellpoint\u00a0<\/em>is pretty basic, but that is what makes it good. It doesn’t have a million attributes to try out and work with to make your character great. It has a little bit of everything to help keep the game going and allow you to use weapons.\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em> tends to use a lot more attributes and attribute combinations<\/a> with weapons that can make switching up playstyles later on in the game harder.\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em> doesn’t overcomplicate things and sticks to attributes that directly involve the weapons you will want to use.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Dark Souls – Weapon\/Armor Diversity<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dark Souls\u00a0<\/em>games are filled with weapons, armor,<\/a> rings, and consumables that all come in handy when traversing the various locations.\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0<\/em>games have always had large pools of items for players to use to customize how they want to play.\u00a0Hellpoint<\/em> does offer different weapons and armors in the game, but not at the varying degree that\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0<\/em>does. With\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em> you truly get to customize your character however you want from the start of the game all the way to the end.<\/p>\n
