HellSign News — November 20, 2018
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
HellSign was sold to me as being like a monster of the week episode of Supernatural or Buffy , which is right up my proverbial alley. And if you squint you can sort of see how that description applies. I suppose it s a useful description because it s otherwise difficult to fit HellSign in a neat genre box; it s isometric, it s sort of an RPG and it s sort of a shooter. The thing is it s like Buffy and Supernatural also set my expectations way higher than they should have been.
HellSign is very difficult to take screenshots of because your character is tiny and most of the map is dark, the only source of light being your torch as you creep around a poorly furnished bungalow. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Before that you have to create said character, and it starts well. Women are an in progress feature, natch, but it lets you choose from a number of backgrounds for your little monster hunter, including detective, mercenary and, of course, renegade.
