HELL GALAXY

Hell Galaxy comes in with a genuinely interesting premise. You play as an assassin whose consciousness the empire has stuffed into a cage shaped like a spaceship, sending you zipping around one of the deadliest sectors in the galaxy as expendable labor. After a tutorial that's honestly a bit dull in teaching you how to fly your ship, the game opens up into a confined area where you can roam freely, Far Cry-style, activating towers/outposts that act as your gameplay hubs. There you can repair your ship from combat damage, restock ammo, and access the game's standout feature: ship modularity. Your ship has a limited number of slots where you can install different modules — weapons, engines for extra thrust, and so on. On top of that, you can find new "hulls" for your ship, each with its own distinct characteristics. Beyond that, Hell Galaxy doesn't stray too far from other games in the genre, aside from a handful of small shortcomings that end up hurting the overall experience. In particular, I found the UI way too small and downright unfriendly to the player. For instance, it took me a long time to even realize I had a limited number of missiles, because the counter for them is genuinely tiny and gets pushed to the background compared to the central reticle (which doubles as the cursor for interactions), which itself is busy showing how much heat your machine guns have built up. My suggestion would be to put the missile counter right under the reticle where it's actually visible. Another UI issue is the mission markers — also too small and nearly invisible when they're far from the player's position, which had me wasting a good chunk of playtime just trying to figure out where to go. This is especially annoying because when you're not looking directly at the objective, its icon shows up like a compass indicator pointing you in the right direction. The problem is that once you actually turn to look where the marker should be, it's not there — it either vanishes or is so small you don't notice it right away. All things considered, I wouldn't recommend picking up the game right now, and I'd suggest waiting for updates from the devs to iron out the rough edges the game currently has.

The game is just ok. As everyone else says, its buggy (left-over text and icons disappear), it stutters to a halt on good hardware, and it crashes a lot. Shame, as for a discounted price, it is a nice idea.

Absolut bizarres Intro, welches die Space Horror Ambitionen des Spiels zeigt und ein wirklich einzigartiges Szenario aufmalt, was es in dieser Form noch nicht gibt. Dafür großen Respekt, es ist mutig etwas völlig neuartiges zu versuchen. Dann jedoch beginnt das eigentliche Spiel und schon in den Tutorials merkt man, dass das Ganze ein völlig simples Space Action Spiel ist, Everspace lässt grüßen. Gegner KI nicht vorhanden, einfach immer draufhalten. Das kann man ja durchaus mögen, und es mag Spieler geben, die sowas zum Entspannen interessant finden. Der große Showstopper ist für mich aber die Grafik. Selbst auf maximalen Details ist das Spiel optisch in den 2010er Jahren hängengeblieben, die Explosionen sind schlicht unansehnlich und schon nach einer halben Stunde habe ich die Segel streichen müssen. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, das man nach dem EA in der Grafik Quantensprünge hinlegen wird, um ein solches, einfaches Actionspiel motivierend zu halten ist das aber zwingend nötig. Wirklich schade, da die Grundidee des Spiels faszinierend ist.

I went into Hell Galaxy not expecting much, especially since this isn't usually my cup of tea, but it’s honestly been a pleasant surprise. The game nails that eerie, lonely atmosphere of deep space—dark visuals, unsettling ambient sounds, and just the right amount of tension to keep you on edge. That said, it’s definitely still Early Access. I’ve run into a few small bugs (UI icons disappearing, some stuttering when loading new areas), and performance could use a bit more optimization even on stronger rigs. If you enjoy atmospheric space games and don’t mind a few rough edges, this one’s worth checking out!

В целом приемлемо, но на данном этапе игра слишком сырая. Часть квестов невозможно пройти из-за багов. Имеет смысл подождать, пока допилят и тогда уже играть.

Это как Doom - Kenshi или Planescape: Torment - WH40K по качеству проработки, но абсолютно свое и уникальное, сложно описать. + шикарный дизайн и посыл + ощущение металлического тела, массы, траектории + продуманный интерфейс, отклик и управление, сливаешься с кораблем + дух исследования, фантастики 90-х, даже холод космоса чувствуется - без мини-карты трудновато запоминать положение точек интереса - темно очень, но гамму настроить можно Производительность нормальная, играю на калькуляторе и получаю удовольствие. i7 2600 gtx 1650 16 gb

Game looks interesting but optimisation is terrible, very stuttery, input noticeably lags, I can't play like that.
