In its current state, the combat to Hellpoint feels a bit stiff, and dialing in a second or third hit before the previous has connected will force the player to commit to the swing and often take a hit or two to the back of the head if you aren't paying attention. The Officer Glaive, a one-handed blade I used for much of my playthrough of the Hellpoint preview, has one passive buff that increases blade length and damage while the other ability is a charging dash that cuts through enemy defenses like a hot knife through space butter.

Each melee weapon will typically have both a quick and heavy attack (R1/R2 respectively on a PS4 controller) while a select few others can gain experience and proficiency that not only provide passive bonuses but also new weapon arts that are unique to each weapon. Wield these more exotic weapons requires an investment in Cognition or Foresight, so don't treat these as dumpstats if you're wanting to make the most efficient killer. Players have access to not only a variety of one-handed melee weapons but also caster wands, guns, and the obligatory shield (which is also getting a parry ability added some time after this preview goes live).
To stay alive in Hellpoint, a strong offense is just as good as a solid defense. In the preview I was able to complete, I ran into a diverse group of bosses, from oversized canine beasts to the Ornstein and Smough tag team wannabes that complement the weaknesses in the others' moves.
#HELLPOINT TIPS PATCH#
Fog gates still appear to warn you of an impending encounter, but the Hellpoint developers have promised to patch those out in the coming days and make for a more dynamic experience. Bosses are always another story and typically the highlights of any Soulslike game. The same works in reverse as the players can use any weapon in their arsenal with roughly the same effectiveness (provided they have the stats to wear the equipment) against any old victim. Enemy attacks can inflict massive damage to the player, often killing them in but three or four solid swings. And, in true Souls fashion, they're all out for the player's head.Ĭombat in a Soulslike can vary slightly but they tend to follow a fairly similar formula. Victims, the basic of fodder enemies and casualties of the cataclysmic Merge, wander the empty halls and wield whatever makeshift weapons they can get their hands on, from manufacturing tools to giant chunks of rebar and building support. Wood and stone are traded for 3D printed materials and metals that build the space station, but the world is nowhere near as pristine as science fiction makes it out to be.
