The gameplay of "Hell Survivors" draws inspiration from titles like "Halls of Torment" and "Diablo 1," featuring a simple loop and elements like inventory management, but suffers from a lack of depth and originality. Players have noted a sparse experience with limited mechanics, such as a utilitarian dash and frustrating auto-reload features, alongside a significant absence of in-game documentation. Overall, the game feels directionless and in need of more engaging content to justify its early access status.
- “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, why is the player not allowed to auto-reload a weapon after the magazine is empty, nothing new was added to the game after the demo plus no passive skill tree.”
