No one knows where the strange arcade machine came from. One day the residents of the Tower just found it in the basement after an odd power outage. They took it upstairs unaware that their find is a gateway to another realm. Shake up your Dying Light experience by using this eerie device to access a completely new game mode based on Techland’s currently-on-hold first-person fantasy slasher Hellraid.
HACK THROUGH THE HORDES OF HELL
Step into a portal to leave the familiar streets of Harran behind and emerge in an otherworldly stronghold overrun by servants of Hell. Slay brand-new demonic enemies with medieval swords, axes, and hammers as you venture through stone corridors and dimly lit chambers.
MASTER A NEW GAME MODE
Prove your skills in intense, rewarding runs through the demon-infested dungeon. Pick up bounties for additional prizes as you revisit the fortress. Improve your Hellraid rank to access new weapons you can also wield outside of the infernal realm.
RAID ALONE OR IN CO-OP
Take your chances alone or gather a party of up to 4 people and be certain Hell’s minions will always be ready for you. Prepare to face unholy forces matching your numbers and strength for a formidable challenge.
While certainly polished and not at all terrible, Hellraid feels utterly tacked-on. There's no mission that introduces the arcade: it's just there, sitting in the middle of a previously locked room. And while the DLC offers new content, I doubt anyone will want to wade through it more than twice. There are four "new" re-skinned opponents, a handful of new weapons and one costume you grind lots to acquire.
So, yeah: it's not great, it's not bad. Just -- a thing to do. Wait until it's on sale.
I was hoping that dying light devs would give me something new to play from them until dying light 2 came out and this DLC does not disappoint.
It doesn’t matter that it’s not the game hellraid that they’ll eventually produce (I assume) it’s an inexpensive add on that provides a game like hellraid that you can play *right now*.
For those that love the gameplay of dying light but like a little variety this is money well spent. In fact I’ve never bought DLC faster than this.
This is what we waited for since 2013?! Compared to the 2013/2014 trailers and screenshots THIS is a major let-down
THE GOOD:
- great creepy atmosphere
- enemies look fantastic (especially the skeletons)
- 3 lives add a bit of tension
WHAT NEEDS WORK:
- game mechanics (blocking, magic, random dungeons)
- content! Gameplay lasts for 30 mins to an hour max. Check out the WITCHER 3 DLCs for how a GREAT DLC should look!
- weapon durability! a few swings and your weapons break. Come on!
- hub and menu should have a medieval theme instead of lazily using the DYING LIGHT ones!
THE BAD:
- simplistic combat (no blocking), heavy attacks require unlocking in skills, no shields or dual wielding
- should be accessible from a menu w/o having to play Dying Light at all!
- color palette (use less of the bright orange/blue and go back to the original design!)
- immersion breaking player character (w r i s t w a t c h, clothes)
TECHLAND: GIVE US A REAL HELLRAID STANDALONE GAME AND SCRAP THE UNNECESSARY DYING LIGHT 2 INSTEAD!!! DYING LIGHT: HELLRAID IS A MAJOR SLAP IN THE FACE FOR EVERYBODY WHO HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GAME SINCE 2013!
YES, I BOUGHT HELLRAID TWICE, HERE AND ON STEAM, HOPING TECHLAND WILL USE THE FUNDS AND GIVE US THE HELLRAID THAT WE WERE ORIGINALLY PROMISED!
CHECK OUT WITCHAVEN TO SEE WHAT HELLRAID IS SUPPOSED TO BE!!!
To be honest, I liked that DLC, that was a good way to revisit Dying Light.
But there is no content for now. No custom weapons and skins for your character, no proper introducing into Hellraid lore (just 10 notes, just 10, ladies and gentlemen).
Mission system is just hilarious. All you need to do is to kill monsters, push the door, kill monsters. push the magic stone and the push the door. That's all for about 2,5-3 hours.
They need to update this addon with new weapons. skins. monsters and etc. Because without their promise abount "Update in late September", I really wanted to give this "half baked piece of Dying Light but with swords" only 2 stars for little fun that I have.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
