As a paid application, though, you’d hope for some replay value, but the truth is that unless you’re a completionist that has to have every crystal to unlock the extras, there isn’t all that much to go back to. I’d still recommend the game, however; whether you like puzzles, escapes, chills, or something to do on your coffee break besides read the tea room’s staple copy of Women’s Day from 1997, again. The game is best when putting on some headphones, and allowing yourself to sink into its bizarre world – only to then relish escaping from it! As the game only takes two hours to complete, its likely best enjoyed in short bursts during those anti-social lunch breaks, rather than in a single playthrough. You may only get several hours of entertainment out of it, but for an iPad game, that’s a pretty impressive feat – so long as you’re prepared to jump at imagined clinking chains for several nights after."

"Seeing what has been achieved in Hellraid: The Escape makes me all the more sadder that we may never see more of this twisted universe given that Techland has shelved plans for the console experience for which this mobile title was supposed to act as an entrée. But something is better than nothing, and thankfully, Hellraid: The Escape manages to be more than just an entrée."
Grab It Magazine reports on the indefinite cancellation of Hellraid from developer Techland but praises the mobile spin-off title Hellraid: The Escape, which can be picked up on iOS and Android.
Bummer, it looked like a promising title. Maybe it'll still see the light of day in the future.
Dang. I was quite looking forward to this. As a big fan of Dead Island and very impressed with the evolution of the FPP they exhibited in Dying Light, I had been keenly interested in how the addition of magic might alter the formula. Hopefully they're able to salvage some of the work they put into it, presuming it doesn't eventually get revived.
