Also, some assets failed to render, which gave some things a blocky, ugly look, and camera glitches caused innumerable problems with exploration and combat. There are bugs everywhere, to the point where I had to quit several times due to frustration. Hellpoint seems like it could have used more time in development and playtesting.

Though I didn't find the horror elements to be particularly strong, the setting still nonetheless evoked a primal fear in me. Overall, I like the concept of Dead Space meets Dark Souls. Bonfires in this game are called Breaches, tears in the fabric of space-time, and souls are known as Axions. You need to manage your Stamina, your Energy, and your limited healing options. There's a dial in the top left of your HUD that shows you where in its orbit the space station is so that you can plan or check back through areas you've already cleared for something hidden.ДЄs is typical with Souls-likes, you have more than just challenging enemies to fight. These storms change the world in different ways, like spawning hordes that weren't there before, opening up new pathways that were previously locked, and strengthing the foes before you. Twice in its orbit, Irid Novo will cross into what Hellpoint calls accretion storms. Everything on Irid Novo is out to kill you, including time itself. There are also cosmic beings who stand in your way, from strange canine/feline beasts to floating fish. Though not quite as gruesome as the necromorphs, Irid Novo is littered with corpses and shambling humanoids. Much like the original Dead Space, you'll be exploring cramped corridors and ruined open areas, all while trying to survive the horrors within both.
