Hellbound
Overall Hellbound meets expectations as a retro style 90’s Shooter. Whilst it does not innovate as much as some people would like, this game has enough about it to be worth the pickup.

The music in "Hellbound" is characterized by a heavy metal soundtrack that complements the game's fast-paced action, though it is often described as generic and repetitive. While some players appreciate the intensity and fitting nature of the music, many find it lacks variety and can become tiresome over time. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a highlight for its energy, but it doesn't reach the memorable heights of similar titles like "Doom" or "Painkiller."
“The soundtrack of 'Hellbound' is one of its most impactful features.”
“With a combination of heavy and atmospheric sounds, the music perfectly complements the game's frenetic action.”
“Hellbound is a visceral, fast-paced, intense FPS with an epic soundtrack.”
“The music is generic (apart from one track which was alright), the enemies are dumb and uninteresting.”
“The music is forgettable.”
“The music just seems to be one or two tracks just endlessly looping over and over.”

If you’re hankering for more of that simple, unfettered Doom action, Hellbound may well scratch your itch.

Hellbound is a great experience. Although it does rely heavily on the DOOM aesthetic, Saibot Studios have created a core gameplay experience that could be the launchpad of something brilliant.
75%Review – Hellbound
Hellbound attempts return to the classic and beloved twitch shooters of the 90's, but falls flat in too many ways to earn a recommendation.
