Hell is us It has been on my radar since it was first announced in April 2022 and has finally been able to spend time through the demo. A world that was devastated by war Hell is us I’m even more enthusiastic despite some small hangs, quickly chilling and a quick glimpse into the demo gameplay.
When he challenges Hadea’s fictional country, you play as Remi. A civil war has erupted, splitting, destroying the devastating Hadea people. Remi has to travel through war zones in search of her parents and soon encounters a farmer who publishes a lot of information that may exist. Essentially, shit is badtragically, Remi is about to discover how bad it is.
While you are feeling anxious, you will roam the forest Returnal– Escu’s score will accompany you. Ultimately, you have access to ruins that have long ago turned out to be some kind of dungeon for prisoners. Here, Remi hopefully many “Ah, shit!” moments. He comes across a creepy enemy I can best explain from the spot. Spider-Man: The Spider-Verse It was designed to be horrifying. It is a pale white humanoid with black circles for a face that slowly distorts the level like a marionette. A woman wearing a mask appears out of nowhere to defeat a creepy enemy, but saves Remi. Without explanation, Remi decides to wear her poncho, take the drone, and wield her BG (a big sparkling sword).

He turns out to be pretty good with the sword. Remi encounters dozens of enemies throughout the demonstration. Combats are easy to pick up and rely heavily on stamina management, but are somewhat standard third-person merry. Your maximum stamina will also decrease when you take damage, so you can Really I don’t want to be a hit.
Just like consumable mechanics, consumable medical can be used to heal. When you attack an enemy, particles floating around Remi are created, and when those particles form in circles, you can press the right bumper of the controller to activate the healing pulse. It’s an interesting mechanic and I like the way Hell is us Gives players a way to recover their health during battle. But actually doing that is a bit clunky. Keeping an eye on the enemies and particles around Remi is distracting, and the timing of the pulse is a challenge. It can only be activated in short windows. When the opportunity for pulse appears, you will be in the middle of the combo.
meanwhile Hell is us“Combat has superficial similarities to Soulslikes, like a blow from a creepy enemy. I felt less punished and more generous than what I would expect from the Software title. I only died once in a demonstration, but compared to the countless deaths of such soulslikes’ opening hours. p’s lie or Elden Ring. In particular, enemies will not respawn even when you save the game, so you don’t have to worry about hitting the same enemy over and over.

Dead enemies are dead, so exploration is encouraged Hell is us. Developer Rogue Factor boasts that the game has “no maps, compasses, and quest markers” so you can roam freely around the game’s world without guiding your hands and discover its secrets. For example, the farmer I mentioned earlier told Remi about how three of his sons died in this war. Later, when I explored abandoned trench like World War I outside of the abandoned ins, I found out from the soldiers on the other side of the conflict bragging about killing three brothers, “cowed on the farmhouse.”
The memo also mentioned that I was taking a gold clock from one of the boys who grabbed and returned to the farmhouse. I was told this would complete the “good deeds” and might receive rewards later in the game. I’m curious to see how these types of quests unfold in the full release. The prospect of doing good deeds in this broken land of Asander is particularly appealing.
Adjacent games like Souls, which focus on user guide exploration rather than engaging combat sounds, and Hell is us So far, we have provided that promise. That demo will be available on Steam until June 16th, before the full game will be released on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X on September 4th.
