Hell Hunt <demo>

100/10

absolutely recommend! Amazing dynamic and bloody!

Add some phrases to hero like "COME ON GIRLS LETS DANCING" and more weakly nearest range enemies. For more fun and flesh!

What I Liked:

• Gun Play is fantastic! I like the fire rate of the guns and how quick the weapon switching is.
• The color signs were nice to have to show me an immediate path back to the door that requires the key.
• The sword dash enemy is terrifyingly quick, well done!
• The player character moves at a good speed.

Some wishlist items:

• The cool down for the sword throw is already acceptable but it would be neat if it was faster or instant if the player went to the location where it landed and picked it back up.
• Another neat thing would be the ability to deflect projectiles by swinging the swords at the right time.

Great job! Looking forward to future releases/content!

this game is amazing it really sticks to its retro fps roots while still branching out and becoming something new and engaging can't wait for the full game to come out highly recommend this game

Okay, I noticed some issues with your game. I'll try my best to articulate them.

1. The player speed is too fast!!

     The map design is much too claustrophobic for moving at these speeds, making it extremely easy to miss all of the nice details in the map and get caught up on level geometry. Mostly frustrating.

2. The dash seems pointless and overpowered

      I feel as if the game only suffers from including this feature. The map layout has optional gaps that aren't traversable without using it. Gaps that could easily just be shortened or covered with a bridge. Taking the dash out of the game wouldn't change much in terms of fun factor because it's only situational at best in its current state. Additionally, the enemies are incredibly easy to dodge if you dash out of the way, (Even on the hardest difficulty)  so fights turn into a war of attrition very quickly with mostly backpedaling.

3. The bullet-time needs work

      It's a cool concept, but in practice, it's incredibly hard to engage because the enemy heads are so tiny, With that, There's not much benefit to using it, since the guns are already so effective. Instead of giving it to the player right at the start of the game, perhaps it should be in the last quarter. I don't know. It just seems out of place.

4. Movement is very stiff

       This one is a bit difficult to describe but, when coming down from a jump, you have little to no momentum once hitting the ground. It's incredibly jarring since you can't air-strafe, and build up speed like in Quake or source games. This one would need more testing if you decide to lower the player speed as well.  If there was a gradual increase which slowly brought the player to max speed, then that would feel so much nicer.

5. Repetitive enemies

       There are way too few textures for enemies. I suggest making more variations. Additionally, the enemy sounds are all the same per type. Should have more variation to prevent it getting boring.

I love how you're actually taking feedback to heart unlike most developers, good job my dude 

Awesome game, cant wait for full version.

Great game, would smash again, I can't wait for the full version.

sorry for this but,¿any cheats

Will HH become available on GoG when finished?  i kinda prefer it there for i see it being looked upon with fondness in the future.

Beautiful game regardless. may it continue on its path to become one of greatest retro games (along with the venerable Dusk and gorgeous Amid Evil), it certainly seems to have very good start with the demonstration here.

Speedy battle
Proper slow motion
good game

Just played the demo. You're doing a great job! Honestly, the only critiques I have to offer is

!. Tighter switch responses. I found myself mashing E on levers due to the delay between pressing E and the lever actually moving.

2. Some kind of mini-map.

Keep up the great work! Will definitely purchase when it's available!

Played the demo, I think this is a decent 90’s throwback shooter. I especially feel like with a bit of gameplay polishing that there’s potential with this game.  A few critiques and praises I would like to point out after finishing the demo (based on Hard difficulty):

• -The sword ranged attack feels really satisfying to use, and I really like how it penetrates multiple targets. The cooldown period doesn’t bother me as I like the risk vs reward of using it.
• -Movement during combat feels a bit stiff. I feel like it might be a combination of total lack of air control when jumping and the claustrophobic environments, but I tend to get caught on geometry quite a bit.
• -It feels like dashing moves the player based on the direction you’re currently moving as opposed to the current input being held. It would help with effectively dodging if it functioned like the latter rather than the former.
• -I don’t think that enemies are too spongey, but rather that it might help weapon’s feedback if there were a pain-state, or pain animations for hitting enemies. Damage values feel pretty good to me, overall.
• -Reloading on the pistols feels a bit long for a relatively weak weapon. I’d recommend quickening it or even dropping reloading altogether.
• -The charging enemy with the dual sword attacks felt off. I’d have times where he would charge through me and deal no damage, and other times it felt like he would strike me from way out of his reach (I had my FOV set to 90, which may have been contributing to this).
• -I especially liked the level design so far, I appreciate the open-endedness and nonlinearity without going too hard on being mazelike. Well-hidden secrets too.

Overall, I think there’s a solid game foundation here. Combat and weapons feels satisfying and the levels are fun to explore. I feel like that if the above critiques are addressed that it would really improve on the core feel and combat flow of the game.

This game is great! Can't wait for the full version. My only gripe is maybe please add a map or a minimap button, because I keep getting lost, and since most of the environment textures look the same, I can't always tell where I am. I made a gameplay video of this on YouTube, but sadly I had to take it down because I got an e-mail from someone saying the title "Hell Hunt" was copyrighted. 

Anyway, great game! Would love to see more of it in development.

I will say this is pretty fun, combat feels nice and satisfying, love the slow mo when the last of a group of enemies falls. Only small thing that I feel could be somewhat improved, was the UI with regards to the ammo count, as I kept mistaking the shotgun Max ammo for what I had actually had in reserve (when I really had zero shots), maybe having that information smaller? That said it's only a small issue I had, overall, looking solid, good luck with development and launch! 

First off: Excellent. Smooth as silk gameplay. The sprint mechanic is great and really helps you play with vertical puzzles/secret-finding. Bullet time worked very well and felt great. My only suggestions are small, personal opinions for tweaks.

1. Maybe increase the delay between when the yellow zombies see the player and when they fire. If you are too close when first spotted, it's nearly imposible to dodge.

2. It was sometimes unclear where to go with the keys - the lighted signs were great, but some more environmental cues saying "this is a key door" might help. Maybe I'm just blind, though.

3. Guns maybe feeling a little weak; this is probably a purely psychological/sound issue, since hits-per-kill I think they're pretty perfect.

4. I found myself not using the thrown katana, since if I was out of ranged weapons, only being able to use it ever 5 seconds or so was too slow. 

Hello T19 Games I made a video covering your game on youtube. I really enjoyed playing the demo. Can't wait to see what the full game will be like in the future. Have a good one!

I had the pleasure of reviewing your game on my blog and my youtube

http://www.terrancecraddock.com/indie-game-reviews/retro-fps-indie-hell-hunt/

very nice game,I really liked the twin handguns and their rate of fire, felt bada** shooting enemies with them.

waiting for the full game 

Really enjoyed the 2 levels of the demo. But I have a problem with the shotgun/super shotgun. The shotgun already one shots most enemies so the super shotgun feels unnecessary. Also the shotguns only hit 1 enemy per shot, which is more noticeable on the spiders. Maybe making the super shotgun have an actual spread and hit multiple enemies could make it feel more rewarding for clearing rooms. Other than that, the weapons feel great!

I really enjoy this game and only have 1 main issue, being the Katanas. My issue is that the animation for a single click is way to long and its hit box lingers for a notable time after the swing animation. I think a simple fix would be to cut the animation in half and make 1 click 1 swing and it just cycles between a left swing and a right swing. Besides that i think the game is amazing I hope you keep up the good work!!

Such a fun game, i love it!

I had the pleasure of reviewing your game:

such a good game so much fun 

Cool shooter, brought nostalgia for the classic PC games.

This is probably one of the best things I've played all year. The action is fast paced, the guns are punchy and they all have their uses, even the pistol. Also, the low-fi pixel textured environments are really nice to look at in that.

I played on normal and the difficulty was spot on for the most part.

If I had any suggestions, maybe have some way of staggering the bigger enemies or breaking their charge. Maybe make some of the more powerful weapons like the double barrelled shot gun and revolver?

Also, I'd love to see more outdoor levels. I think the outdoor section was probably my favourite.

One last thing, I found 2 of these little maps, one was out in the open and the other in a secret passage. I thought they related to some kind of puzzle in the big prison room right before the yellow door but if it was I couldn't figure it out and their didn't seem to be any feedback on anything I tried.

Really fun demo!
It was a bit easy but it is just the first two levels.
My only criticisms are the second level is a bit sprawling and all the conjoining paths you unlock can make it hard to navigate, finding that yellow keycard room too me the most time.
Assuming you don't already plan on adding it, some impact noises for the swords are direly needed on walls and things.
And the platforming can be a bit wonky.
The short jumps are actually the hardest because you can either way over shoot them due to the physics or severely under shoot them.
It wasn't a huge hurdle to overcome but it did make it feel a bit clunky.
Other than that the weapons all felt great to shoot and the enemies were satisfying to take out, love the aesthetic of the graphics and the music when it was present! (also add some more music)
Wishlisted on steam and can't wait to see more of this.

Listen, this game is amazing and fun. Probably the most fun game on itch.io. I highly recommend this game for anyone, legit ANYONE who wants a fast paced game and some secrets and challenges. Oh, I also did a gameplay if you wanna check it out.

I've just created an Itch.io account just for this game! I just played the demo and it was so unbelievably good. Sure, it feels a little unpolished here and there but overall, I think this game has so much potential and it's already so much fun! The weapons feel good, the map design is great and the ability to dash is very helpful and puts some more speed and depth into gameplay (which I like). I've posted this page in several forums and on Facebook and I hope I can help you with that.

Of course, I would LOVE to see this game on GoG one day (yes, I'm THAT guy :D )

The gameplay is incredible! Movement feels great, guns feel AMAZING, I had a little too much fun with the shotgun! I am confident in saying that, with more polish, levels, and guns this game could REALLY be something! I did notice, when being attacked by the big demons, they would run at me, I would dodge, and while I am a good distance away, still get hit by them. That's really the only issue I had with the gameplay. I'm definitely going to keep my eye on this project, and get this bad boy wishlisted!
