STORY
Before the old times, ancient gods once held the eternal responsibility of sending the good to heaven and the wicked to hell. After growing tired of everlasting life and having grown older than time itself, the gods built a gigantic monolithic machine.
This titan of a device was to take on their endless burden of soul sorting and allow them to die.
This "Hellscreen" machine was soon constructed. But there was no rejoicing, only relief. In a flash, the old gods were gone, lost to time.
After millennia of sorting countless souls, the machine begins to malfunction and displaces you.
You are taken from the real world at the point of your death and deposited in the Hellscreen realm, instead of the peaceful afterlife you deserve.
You are given an inhuman form and are called upon to destroy the machine and its infernal biome.
It must be stopped from dismantling the fabric of all existence and destroying all reality and only you can stop it and reset order.
Once this is done then perhaps you can return to your eternal resting spot.

Game was pretty fun, it looks cool and the mirror is hard to get used to but fun when you do! looking forward spending more time with it! Would recommend to any fans of boomer shooters
Forced out of early access in an unfinished state. It had potential and a promise for more levels but all future plans seem to be canceled. There's just not enough content to justify the price tag. wait for a sale.
This game hurt my eyes so much and somehow performs worse than doom eternal despite its simplistic graphics.
I'm leaving a thumbs up because i can see the potential of this game after the developer fixes and balances a few things. But i recommend waiting until that happens. I went into this game very excited and i was having fun to begin with because i really enjoy the visual and audio design but the gameplay engagement just isn't there for me. It needs to be cranked up a few notches before i can see any point with engaging in combat because as it stands right now; you can just run passed everything and still progress to the final stage. It needs to lean more towards being an action-fps instead of this weird middle-ground of a shooter mixed with a collect-a-thon. I wanna see more combat engagement in the form of; - Regular mini bosses - Lock-down rooms where you'll need to fight of waves and waves of enemies in order to get an item etc - An "enemies remaining" counter or something to help give the combat a reason - More incentive to use the rear-view mirror which is incredibly cool - An overall overhaul of the enemy difficulty and number - More of a reason to use you COMPLETE arsenal (the shotty is extremely busted rn lol) etc etc There are a couple bugs here and there but nothing i feel is worth mentioning. Hellscreeen still shows lots of promise and i'll be keeping an eye on future updates. I do recommend wishlisting it if it peaks your interest because i think the dev will take on constructive criticism and make this game great one day.

Really enjoying this game! Awesome retro aesthetic and a banging score. It takes a minute to get used to the rear view mirror but once you do and it becomes habit to shoot backwards, it's super satisfying!
I've had my eye on this one ever since I randomly saw it on twitter. I was really drawn to it's unique art style and loved the demo. This game has a lot of promise. Not only the art style stands out but the fast and fluid gameplay is just as compelling. It's a unique experience with the rear mirror mechanic. Highly recommend, give this solid retro inspired shooter a go.
Fun concept, mid execution (probaly hasnt been able to see it in its fullest thanks to the data not saving), not the best map design at all (confusing me at every turn everywhere) and bad tutorial, very excited to see this game be completed, and im hyped to see how much the game changed from their where I feel like its underbaked.
Hellscreen's rear view mirror gimmick rips on its own - tying damage and secrets to it really elevates it as an FPS mechanic. I think it's stellar that this mechanic could carry a game with way worse levels, while its really unique, almost 3D platformer-style progression would elevate a shooter *without* a unifying conceit like this. EA is on the short side atm but it's extremely replayable, big emphasis on secrets and 100%, again in the vein of a 3D collectathon platformer.
an odd but enjoyable experience with an evident amount of work poured into it.
Very very very interesting retro shooter, with plenty of enemies, plenty of puzzles, and new intriguing mechanics that the players must discover on their own. Hellscreen is wonderfully reminiscent of old school FPS games, with an extremely high pace and a creepy and haunting atmosphere, further emphasized by the alien design clearly inspired by Giger's art. A new dark little gem that I will follow with great interest, because what I have seen so far was very promising. Sci-fi fun in its purest form! Cheers guys!
