Hellpoint
Hellpoint is an intense action RPG taking place on Irid Novo, a derelict space station soaked in an intoxicating dark sci fi atmosphere. Fight dreadful creatures, face the Cosmic Gods and unravel their twisted story. Should the challenge be too great, play with a friend in local or online coop.

“Sci-fi souls-like made by people who get hard-ons from making a web of interconnected areas. The amount of content here honesty kinda scares me. There's a bunch to do here. Highly recommended to scratch that souls itch.”

“A fairly decent 'souls like' game with an excellent, interesting and very large world to explore, with lots of secrets and secret passages, although some of the levels are a bit maze like. It has a good sci-fi…”

“one of the easier souls like ive played, pretty comparable in difficulty to mortal shell. the combat feels a little off somehow but i cant put my finger on it. like its very hack and slash and theres no movement to the…”
“An underrated soulslike that plays like a more accessible version of Dark Souls 3. Where Hellpoint really shines is its somewhat nonlinear, exploration-driven structure, as well as its incredible atmosphere. The game's…”

“This is a tough recommendation, but I think there's still enough good here to make it worth it. What I like: - The vibes in this game are great. The setting of a giant space station that's been invaded by outer gods is…”

“It's like a slower, tiny bit clunky, cosmic dark souls. Absolutely love it. Can really recommend. If you've played every souls like under the sun and are looking for something new, this game is definitely gonna make you…”

“Hellpoint How long to beat : 12 hr (4hr if you don’t get lost on map) info: This is the worst Souls-like game I’ve ever played. It’s fine to get stuck because of a difficult enemy or boss, but it’s frustrating to get…”

“I tried playing Dark Souls 1 and 3, but they didn't make any sense, then I got this for free from GOG, and after the Celestial Beast boss it clicked in my brain and I beat it a few times. Then I bought it here on Steam and beat it a few more times. I played offline for a lot, so…”
— a player, Steam review · 37 hrs played“Deliciously dark. Not heavily budgeted and oozing polish and (for its time) state of the art visuals... But it carries a lot of character. Captivating in a way that speaks to a deep unease born of looking at the stars and questioning our penultimate fate, and whatever lays…”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“Play this if you're really bored and want to try something new that is still souls-like. The concept is really interesting (sci-fi outer space stuff) but the gameplay and design is too unpolished for it to be enjoyable or hooking for me. If there's gonna be a sequel or remake…”
