  • gameplay
    114 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun mechanics, chaotic gunplay, and engaging core loop, reminiscent of classic titles like Call of Duty Zombies and Killing Floor. However, many players note that it still feels like an early access title, with issues such as performance bugs, clunky movement, and a lack of content. While the unique upgrade systems and variety of weapons add depth, some mechanics, like the gambling system for upgrades, have received mixed reviews, indicating room for improvement.

    • “The gameplay is a mix of chaotic gunfire, clutch moments, and yelling, 'why are there so many of them?!' while your friends ditch you to 'find ammo' (read: run for their lives).”
    • “The gameplay is satisfying and has some fun elements, with a good variety of enemies, and weapon choices, along with perks and bonuses that add an element of interest and help maintain balance as the difficulty increases.”
    • “If you enjoyed Call of Duty zombies and Killing Floor, you will love the wave-based gameplay Hellbreach: Vegas offers – a perfect way to spend a weekend with friends.”
    • “Game still feels heavily early access in terms of player movement, overall animations, textures, and many gameplay mechanics (perk system, weapon buy and upgrade system, barebones progression, etc).”
    • “The mechanics here are very innovative for a COD Zombies style game, but unfortunately I can't recommend it because the actual movement and shooting just do not feel good and the visual clarity is very bad.”
    • “It's still buggy, has performance issues, terrible reloads, stuttery gameplay, and a poor progression system.”
  • graphics
    56 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many users noting that while there are some appealing elements like lighting and art style, overall quality remains inconsistent and often underwhelming. Some players appreciate the effort put into graphical updates and the aesthetic improvements, but others criticize issues such as blurriness, poor detail in enemy models, and performance problems, particularly on lower-end systems. Overall, the game shows potential for improvement, but it currently lacks polish and customization options in its graphical settings.

    • “The art style is pleasing, the lighting especially fits the theme and style of the game, and both the visuals and sound design match the energy of the gameplay brilliantly.”
    • “Colors are beautiful; all in all, if the game was more polished in terms of graphics, it would be great.”
    • “Awesome graphics, really good performance with a few stutters!”
    • “The graphical assets are really undercooked, just overall poor quality.”
    • “Anyway, that's how far the positives go. On the negative side of things, graphics are blurry and confusing sometimes, enemies aren't that distinguishable because their models have poor details, and there are some annoying bugs like demons getting stuck in walls.”
    • “Lowering the graphics isn't a problem; it's the fact that it runs so poorly without DLSS and is arguably only playable with it on my system at max. Playing on the Steam Deck to test it out, running at ultra looks like garbage and runs at 30-45fps.”
  • optimization
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players reporting significant performance issues, including stuttering, crashes, and inconsistent frame rates across various hardware setups. While some users noted decent graphics and occasional good performance, many expressed frustration over the game's overall stability and optimization, particularly on lower-end systems. Despite being in early access and relatively inexpensive, the optimization remains a major concern for potential players.

    • “If you want to slay waves of hell demons with a COD Zombies vibe and have some fun in the process, even with some performance issues, just give it a shot.”
    • “It gets a pass, being early access, a one-man dev & quite cheap, but the performance is a bit all over the place.”
    • “The most optimized early access game I have ever played.”
    • “The optimization is still a mess: I get 80 degrees on my RX 6600 on medium settings with bloom, DOF, and anti-aliasing off.”
    • “It's still buggy, has performance issues, terrible reloads, stuttery gameplay, and a poor progression system.”
    • “Too many crashes, animations are cringe, badly optimized, audio is terrible.”
  • stability
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is widely criticized, with many users reporting numerous bugs and glitches, particularly related to maps, jumping, and melee mechanics. While some players find the gameplay enjoyable despite these issues, others describe the game as unfinished and recommend waiting for further updates. A few users note that performance is acceptable on certain platforms, but overall, the consensus is that the game requires significant improvements in stability.

    • “Played it on Steam Deck and it runs great.”
    • “The game is not buggy at all in what I've played.”
    • “The maps are a buggy mess.”
    • “Game is a buggy mess, unfinished, lacks a lot of things. I respect the fact it's one developer's work, but you proceeded and made a full release while the game is not even 10% finished.”
    • “It's still buggy, has performance issues, terrible reloads, stuttery gameplay, and a poor progression system.”
  • story
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is primarily focused on fast-paced action rather than a narrative, with many players appreciating the absence of a complex storyline. However, there is a consensus that the addition of main quests, easter eggs, and a more engaging plot could enhance the experience and prevent it from feeling repetitive. Overall, while the lack of a story may appeal to some, others feel it detracts from the game's potential depth.

    • “In my opinion, all this game needs to be major is some story/easter eggs and a little polishing.”
    • “Needs easter eggs/quests and perhaps rewards from them to keep it from feeling stale.”
    • “Id really like to see main quests and easter eggs, tighten up some animations and models, fix sometimes glitchy pathfinding, variety in the look of the perk cards, some better sounds for certain things and rebalancing of the sounds, maybe some more hardcore music in-game to up the intensity.”
    • “Feature no story, objective, or easter eggs of significance.”
    • “Is it story driven? Heck no, not by any means for sure.”
    • “Lack of a story mode.”
  • monetization
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the absence of microtransactions, favoring a monetization model that rewards gameplay with cosmetic unlocks rather than purchases. The option to tune ad sensitivity has been positively received, contributing to a straightforward and enjoyable experience without intrusive monetization tactics. Overall, the game's approach to monetization is seen as a refreshing change in the current gaming landscape.

    • “No microtransactions in sight (yay!)”
    • “It's simple, easy fun; no politics or microtransactions stuffed in your face, and from playing solo to wave 30, I didn't notice any game-breaking bugs at all.”
    • “Tl;dr: matchmaking is too punishing, melee should be more fun for the player, upgrades too pricey in later waves, hipfire is less punishing than ads, and cop cars are too big to jump on half the time.”
    • “Also always a fan of cosmetics being available through actual play, rather than being sold as microtransactions.”
    • “My only note so far: please add the option to change the ads on mouse from toggle to hold.”
  • grinding
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a significant amount of grinding, as players must accumulate currency to unlock weapons, perks, and doors, which can be appealing for those focused on leveling up. While the grind can be addictive, it is accompanied by various issues such as blurry graphics, indistinct enemy models, and a lack of engaging endgame content, which may detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, many players find the game's low price point and escape from microtransactions to be worthwhile.

    • “The game is pretty grindy, and your currency to unlock starting guns, perks, and cards is also the currency you use to unlock doors.”
    • “If you are obsessed with getting to a new highest level, then grinding this game might be for you.”
    • “Progression is very grindy, and while it has a bit of jank, considering it's only a $15 game ($10 on sale), it's well worth the price for what it delivers.”
  • humor
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as brutal and hilarious, with creative elements like slot machines and roulette wheel guns adding to its comedic charm. While some aspects of the humor may not encourage prolonged play, the overall chaotic nature of the game provides a lighthearted experience. Players appreciate the funny AI tracking and the unique concept of "Hellbreach: Vegas," making it a memorable, albeit chaotic, comedic adventure.

    • “It's brutal, it's hilarious, and it’s the most fun I’ve had getting mauled by a demon since I tried to babysit my cousin’s hyperactive chihuahua.”
    • “I really enjoy the concept of Hellbreach: Vegas, especially the creative use of slot machines and the roulette wheel gun; it's quite funny!”
    • “In summary, this game may be a bit chaotic, but it certainly offers a bit of humor and lightness in the gaming world.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received high praise for its energetic mix of raving, dubstep, and rock metal, contributing to an intense atmosphere. However, some players noted that the menu music resembles that of "Back 4 Blood," and there are suggestions for incorporating more hardcore tracks. Overall, the music is rated 5/5, with a desire for improved sound effects and rebalancing.

    • “Music 5/5”
    • “I would love to see more hardcore music in the game to up the intensity.”

    • “I'd really like to see some better sounds for certain things and rebalancing of the sounds, maybe some more hardcore music in-game to up the intensity.”
  • replayability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players highlight the game's extensive weapon variety and customization options as key factors contributing to its high replayability. The potential for future updates, such as custom maps and new game modes, further enhances the game's longevity and enjoyment. Overall, the combination of unique gameplay elements and the promise of additional content keeps players engaged.

    • “The weapons are cool as hell (no pun intended). I really like the vast amount of unique guns in this game; it allows for replayability and just a lot of fun!”
    • “Key bindings and tons of menu options, character and gun customization, there are tons of replayability options.”
    • “This game has a lot of replay value with the potential for custom maps and different game modes in the future. Overall, 10/10 for me!”
    • “The game lacks replayability due to its limited content and lack of variety in gameplay mechanics.”
    • “After completing the main story, there isn't much incentive to play again, as the side quests feel repetitive and uninspired.”
    • “While the game has potential, the current lack of different modes or custom maps makes it hard to justify multiple playthroughs.”
