IF WAR IS THE CLOSEST WE GET TO HELL ON EARTH, IT'S BECAUSE EARTH HARBOURS THE WORST OF DEMONS: HUMANKIND.

In an isolated country ravaged by a fratricidal conflict, investigate your past and uncover the secrets of a land full of mystery. No quest markers, map or compass will reveal points of interest for you.

Take control of your adventure and make your own discoveries.












Demo out now.

It does say for the ‘best experience’ so still probably playable with keyboard and mouse I’m sure. No console demo announced otherwise I’d check it out :/
Game looks good TBH but requirements are high?

Performance was okay here, though.

All on High - doesn't drop below 60 FPS. At least in starting area.

Hard to say.

Like most such projects, I'd say it has potential.

Not for me, though, as it's a console game: low FOV, forced camera follow, no toggle walk, weird-ass camera angles, no sidestep/backpedal etc.

The game is nice. The adventure style fits the setting and atmosphere pretty well. However, the souls-like combat is a bit of a miss for. Not because the combat is bad, but because it seems out of place in the setting. This game would have worked better as a 3rd person shooter.

Cannot understand these recommended requirements.

16 threads for Intel and only 12 threads for Ryzen.

Everyone has to have soulsformula in some fashion. Issue is that there is usually no creativity and it's just shite to be honest, especially if you compare it to dark souls or elden ring. Even Khazan and lies of P is bad if you compared them to ER and DS. Claire obscure is the best form. Very creative and cool use of the soulsLike system.

Dark Souls was a trend setter. But we start to take it a bit far considering how much of From Software's work is copy pasta. Even Dark Souls has bosses copied from Demon's Souls.

Well it was their second game of this type so it was expected they'd simply try improving the formula. It probably changed name due to licensing anyway. They struck gold and they knew it.

Overall atmosphere is great.

It is a janky game. But I like this sort of jank. I was immersed, and that is what matters.

Also, for fans of DX:HR this is a great team to support.

Rogue Factor’s previous games are Mordheim: City of the Damned in 2015/2016 and Necromunda: Underhive Wars in 2020 so I guess they’ve been working on Hell Is Us for about 5 years.

I wanted to give this a try but the game crashes immediately after the cut scene at the start. No errors or anything. Just closes. Oh well.

Played the demo for a bit.
Pretty good and probably getting this one.
It’s like a soulslike with puzzles or more puzzles anyway.
I stopped playing though because I’ll literally have to replay it again when the game releases next month since progress doesn’t carry over apparently.
Impressive amount of gameplay for a demo though Very Happy

It’s out the day before Cronos: The New Dawn though :/

I thought the demo was great and 7-8/10 reviews is good enough Very Happy
