first discovered by alpha beta gamer (opens in new tab), Van Hellswing (opens in new tab)The free demo has already earned my heartfelt recommendation. Basically similar to Devil Dagger — his PFS Survival in Horde mode against floating, swarming enemies — but trapped in a vertically complex arena, disease grappling hook.
That move really is the star of the show. Despite its name, Van Hellswing’s signature his move is closer to Zelda’s hookshot his deal than Titanfall’s or Spiderman’s swing his move, but it’s fun to use. Round out a moveset that includes double jumps, dashes, wall runs, and bunny hopping. The developer’s Codeclue has created the perfect foundation not only for survival his arena, but for almost any kind of shooter.
Your only weapon is a double barrel flintlock. Use this to defeat bats that homing in swarms that increase in strength and number over time. If I have one mechanical gripe, it’s that there isn’t enough of a clear screenshake or knockback to indicate that you’re taking damage — an enemy just bumps into you and suddenly, Red spider web cracks appear on the screen.Deaths in demos were often sudden and frustrating.
That said, the Van Hellswing prototype is the perfect little bite-sized shooter. Achieved his high score of about 20,000 on the best run tool in the game so far. twitter (opens in new tab) We have over 70,000 accounts. The developer, his Codeglue, seems keen to extend the concept in the future. itchi aio (opens in new tab).
