WTMG's Jordan Hawes: "Hellmut: The Badass from Hell is a bit of a mixed bag that deserved a little extra development time to flesh out more of its ideas. It has all the fundamentals of a great twin-stick roguelike shoot ’em up, but falls short in some of its systems. If the game was longer, perhaps a bit harder, and had better level and world design, Hellmut could be a top contender in the genre. It is worth mentioning that there is a tournament mode that encourages playing with friends, but it’s essentially just a time-based playthrough to see who can go further and faster. If you love the genre, you’ll still find things to love here, but if you’re already a shoot ’em up pro, then it won’t have the legs to keep you entertained for long."
GD365: "Today, we have several off-the-radar game deals to highlight. All of the deals are for physical, boxed copies. Plus, there’s a deal on an Amiibo Super Smash Bros. Series Figure (Zelda) from Japan."
Darren writes: "Hellmut: The Badass From Hell has a cool retro style, attitude and decent soundtrack with some good, if not wholly original, ideas. However, on balance £26.99 for a game that gets repetitive, and dare I say tiresome, is quite frankly too much to fork out."
Carlos writes: "Roguelike dungeon crawler. These words many years ago would have been enough to see me look away without the slightest interest, but having finally changed my ways due to spending plenty of time with The Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon and many other similar titles over the years, I now find myself rather excited when a new competitor joins the ranks of the countless adventures. Can Hellmut: The Badass from Hell rank amongst the best though?"
There's some story here about defeating enemies attacking a super-secret submarine, but the truth is that it's all rather relaxing, audio and visual-wise
