The concept of BPM shooter is intoxicating, and fundamentally Hellsinger achieves the promise of an FPS game that subjugates the player to the flow of bass riffs, bestowing the growl of burly Swedish men as the highest reward for good performance.

Your enemies are underwhelming though, not beholden to rules of rhythm as you are. It's quite telling that modding in faster songs makes the game EASIER, which I see as not getting the second part of BPM game equation quite right.

Also, very front-loaded in terms of OST. If you found yourself impressed with the music from the demo you might simply not get that from the back half of the levels. Serj cameo is very neat though.

Cool game overall, just falls short in a few key ways to be truly rad.
