The bullet hell influence is here, and even if it doesn't mean that the screen is filled with ridiculous bullet patterns, you still need spatial awareness, since you lack a dodge move. Every room fills up with enemies rather quickly, and since some rooms immediately activate barriers until you can shut them down, you'll often be forced to blast everything just to get some breathing room. While there aren't too many suits to claim, their new powers and randomization keep the journey fresh, since obtaining suits feels like getting a new gun or weapon.Įven if you look at the body-swapping mechanic as another interpretation of extra lives, the game still brings about some enjoyment thanks to the almost non-stop action. Collect enough gems, and you can summon the demon that is helping you get your revenge, and completing his timed kill challenges means getting the opportunity to don a new suit.
Getting either one killed puts you back in the hopping skull mode, which is still formidable but not the position you want to be in, since death means restarting the run.
Choosing between the two is more than just aesthetics, as they both have different default guns, secondary moves, and health meters. At the beginning of Hellmut, you can select the body you'll occupy: a giant rat cosplaying as Rambo or a Frankenstein's monster. While there's nothing special about the guns you can pick up or buy, the game offers a very interesting hook. Interestingly, the game gives you an opportunity to earn more coins in the store if you play the Space Invaders-type arcade machine. You can spend it in stores that are available on each floor to get more guns for your arsenal or other things, like an increased wallet, health pick-ups, or a magnet to immediately attract currency to you. As you kill baddies, you can find some new guns, but most of your pick-ups consist of currency. You have roughly 12 procedurally generated rooms to go through, blowing up enemies until you reach the exit and either repeat the process or go up against a randomly selected boss. As alluded to earlier, Hellmut is a twin-stick roguelike shooter.
