The gameplay of "Hell Survivors" draws inspiration from titles like "Halls of Torment" and "Diablo 1," featuring a simple loop and a dark aesthetic, but suffers from a lack of depth and engaging mechanics. Players note that while some elements, such as the impact of abilities and explosions, are satisfying, the overall experience feels sparse and directionless, with limited content and originality. Additionally, the absence of in-game documentation and flaws in mechanics, such as auto-reloading issues, further detract from the gameplay experience.
“If you've had the pleasure of playing Halls of Torment (or Diablo 1, from which it is inspired), this game shares much the same hellish vibes and a few gameplay elements, such as inventory management, albeit with a darker and more refined aesthetic.”
“Notably, sometimes the weight and impact of some gameplay elements, such as monsters, guns, abilities, and explosions can be felt satisfyingly.”
“The gameplay loop is simple.”
“The gameplay feels sparse, with a lack of depth, progression, and meaningful content.”
“The lack of originality is glaring, and every mechanic feels like an inferior attempt to replicate what has already been done – and done much better – elsewhere.”
“The game had a demo which wasn't so bad as early access, now the game is really unforgiving from the start plus has flaws in mechanics - why does the player need auto-reload after 1 bullet from a 6-round magazine, and why is there no option to autoreload a weapon after the magazine is empty? Nothing new was added to the game after the demo, plus there is no passive skill tree.”
