Jank and repetition plague HellSign's monster hunts as it steps into Early Access.
HellSign has promise as a tongue-in-cheek horror ARPG, but is in need of a reality check concerning its many issues.
By Tim White: I don’t understand why horror-RPGs are so rare. Murphy’s Law would suggest that they’re rare precisely because I love them so much, but perhaps they just aren’t as popular as I wish they were.
HellSign, from Australia-based indie duo Ballistic Interactive, aims to fill a surprisingly small niche, and while it’s totally great in some ways, rolling it out as an Early Access title was probably a bad call.
Investigation and research are just as important as your ability to fight in HellSign, a horrifying action RPG now available on Steam Early Access.
