a cool slaughter-to-the-beat fps that's all about style. i havent played many rhythm games, but hellsinger nudged me into looking at them some more. except osu!, im not that big of a loser. hellsinger's got combos to build up a fury stack, so this game's equivalent of a combo meter like DMC or Ultrakill's style bar, but it actually benefits you to score as high as you can. you get little buffs between hit streaks like explosive attacks for example, but it's really the music that keeps you going for higher scores. each attack on a beat deals the highest damage that an attack can dish out while also giving you more fury to your fury meter. so not only do you want to be as stylish as you can because thats the fun way to play, it's also the best way to play if you want to stay alive and kill enemies. great combat, although the movement is a bit too slow for my tastes, and great music (serj tankian provided vocals for the final boss fight!!). hellsinger's a good way to spend a weekend because of it's 4 hour run time but it doesnt overstay its welcome. i enjoyed my time with the game and was satisfied when it ended. i dont think i'll go back to beat my scores, i'll just reminisce on the game if i ever think about rhythm shooters.
