Avoid this game. The controls are unresponsive, the level design is uninspired (Doom style get the keys and leave). The weapons seem like they shoot pillows at enemies and tickle them to laugh at the fact you purchased this game and dared to install it.

This is a hellish shooter where you fight hordes of zombies, crazed armies and creatures. There are loads of weapons to use, including soul-powered shotgun or plasma weaponries, but most of them are useless despites of their plentiful ammo supply. The game itself is very hard to progress due to map designs and ankward enemy AI. Graphic is not that bad. The loading time is very long but it somehow doesn't take time for quickload. I'd say skip this game.

Hellforces is following in the vein of Serious Sam and other fast-paced, kill'em-all-and-leave-no-trace-behind shooters. We're back to the cores of Quake and the likes.

There's a lot of weapons (I recall about 20), there's a lot of enemies, but ultimately something is off.

First, the weapons don't seem to inflict damage. While there is a system that removes chunks of flesh from the zombie enemies, when you hit them (both with melee weapons and firearms) they don't even flinch and instantly retaliate with a punch. This slows fighting down, as you need to get very close, hit, step back, and repeat. And it's even worse when you need an entire magazine before your gun finally manages to put a single zombie down.

There are also puzzle bits, although they're not of the highest caliber. They were made excruciatingly hard though by the implementation of a useless jump button. Your character can jump, but no higher than about 5 centimeters off the ground. In my first 10 minutes I encountered a puzzle which required me to get on a roof and jump to a window - it took me 30 minutes to call it quits (also, their collision detecting system did not work well on slopes and most of the time I ended up falling to the ground).

I could say I'd recommend this game, but we really need a patch to at least make it look like we're inflicting damage before I do that.

I tried, I really tried.

I got this game as part of the 1C Complete Pack bundle, so granted, I didn't pay much for it. I love shooters, especially the ones no one has ever heard of before, so this one was right up my alley. Unfortunately, there's a reason no one's ever heard of it.

The voice acting is abysmal. The enemy ai is a joke. The lighting is the worst I've ever EVER seen. There is constantly this "rainbow cone" of light coming from all over, and if you try to look at it's source it disappears. I'm pretty sure it's the lighting scheme of the game just screwing up entirely. I have no idea how this game was released like this.

When I got into Hackley's Basement, (the 4th or 5th level I think,) there was this light coming from the upper right that simply crashed the game. I couldn't figure it out. I went into the game settings (and there are very few,) and turned everything down, including lighting, draw distance, the works; but it didn't change anything. The game continues to crash.

Long story short, I was going to beat this game just to say I had, but even that is impossible. The game is simply unplayable, and I'd even go so far as to say it was released unfinished altogether.

Friends, please don't waste your time. Find something else worth playing for your own sanity's sake.

What a horrible game! Load time is too long, graphics are barely passable for the age of the game, control is bad, AI is poor and weapons are pretty useless. This should have been a pretty good game but it failed.

First of all, this is a very basic first-person shooter. There's not much depth or complexity to be found here. What you will find, however, is a large arsenal of guns and melee weapons with which you'll mow down enemies in an old-school fashion - so no taking cover or aiming down the sights in this game. Fortunately, most of the weapons are well-designed and fun to use (especially the great looking AK-47 with its under-barrel grenade launcher). The story is pretty much non-existing and the level design can be needlessly confusing at times - you'll definitely find yourself running around checking rooms, hallways and doors just trying to find out where you're supposed to go next. The graphics are pretty good... somewhat dated, but not too hard to look at. In the end, if you're a fan of the genre and have enjoyed similar, lower-budget shooters you could very well find this game worthwhile.

In this game you fight hordes of zombies,and armies, There are a lot of weapons to use but thier

is limited ammo and the guns are useless. The level design is confusing, later in the game

all you do is go into every room to find a key and then you do it again on the next floor,

and the load time in too long.
