L'histoire de Hell is other demons
History is boring.Let's go right on the action!
Game System
18/20We must distinguish retrogaming, which is the art of reproducing games as they were in the past, and the games that are culturally anchored in the past.It is the same difference between Stranger Things which immerses us in a somewhat fantasized atmosphere of the 80s and The Artist who tries to reproduce in every way the films of yesteryear (at least in his first part)) I must give you a confidence, if I am a fan of retrogaming by many aspects, it is very rare that I come out my old games / old consoles.Simply because today we are doing much better!The Messenger, Shovel Knight, Door Kicker Action Squad...So many games that technically could have released a few decades ago, but it is only with hindsight and the development of our game skills and level design that these games come out without the problems inherent in retrogaming (poorly dosed difficult,characters inertia, repetitivity, etc..)).Why do I tell you that?So that those who would be put off by the old school aspect of the game are not mistaken: we are well in a retro, but fundamentally modern game in its game mechanics.Hell is other demons is a mixture between a Manic Shooter - these games where the screen is covered with all colors like Dodonpachi - and a platform game, quite close to a TowerFall Ascension if you have tested it.
Two game modes are available to us, Arcade which continues the games and the story mode (which has history only the name ... do not look too much scenar here)).In history mode, you will have to destroy the bosses to reconstruct a dimensional door and push yourself a little more in the hellish bowels of the game.In terms of maneuverability, it is extremely simple, and a very well made tutorial of a few minutes, will quickly show you the entire range of movements.That is to say: pull, jump, double jump, hover, dasher, go for the floor when you are in the air, trigger your super.But since you are undoubtedly endless connoisseurs you will quickly understand that this apparent simplicity is in favor of the nervousness of the action!The keys are very quickly assimilated, and respond to a quarter turn.In 10 minutes, you will only be one with your pad, and your avatar, ready to do battle with hordes of monsters.And damn it, monsters you will eat them, you will send them back where they come by clusters of 60.
Each level consists of a very simple level, the width of the screen and sometimes a little more vertically, and enemies that pops by waves by waves.Arrive at the end of the waves without dying and it is the "GG".Otherwise, it is "start again and apply yourself damn blood".The difficulty curve will crescendo.Very accessible at the start, enemies quickly make themselves, and your energy will melt as quickly as an ice cube in the bubbling cauldron of Lucifer Himself.
But don't panic, because if there is no XP, there are shops with new weapons, new supers, and lots of skills.And it is delightful to see so much variety, there is something for all styles, with choice that can adapt according to the level you are going to face (is it very high?.Are there enemies that come to hand-to-body?Take a dash bonus)).De fait la difficulté est relevé mais pas totalement cramé comme dans certains manic shooter genre Dodonpachi (oui, je sais, je n'ai pas des milliards de noms de manic shooter en tête…)) où c’est un exploit de péter un boss. Ici les épreuves sont accessibles, mais faut pas le prendre à la légère !Dans Hell is other demons, les ennemis sont variés, et les levels également ! Ce qui n’est pas si fréquent dans ce genre de jeu où l’écran est l’intégralité (ou presque)) du level.Because each internship will have its own traps, its own danger zones.It will be your second enemy, and he will not fail to remember you if you neglect it, because as much as the enemies the environment is hostile.Okay, for the moment it is a flawless.But what about bosses?Often the weak link in style games.Here they are just excellent !!Interesting patterns, they are varied, they will be able to renew the gameplay efficiently! And icing on the cake, the aesthetics of the game is mirific !!!
Graphics
18/20So yes of course the graphic style of Hell is other demons very clear will not appeal to everyone.But personally, I find it just magnificent! Here, the tribute is at Atari machines and other Amiga which could only display a limited number of colors.With only 6 colors, large pixels and the talent of the Cuddle Monster Games studio have done miracles!This is the tribute to the 80s is to do better with as much! It happens, with so little color, to make the action never confused, the design of the monsters is so ingenious that we know immediatelyThe kind of enemies that we face.In addition, each boss has its own environment.And how not to emphasize the monstrously cool and demonic mouths of bosses and sellers!What a slap !! Each weapon, each skill has its visual effect, we really feel the impact of shots, blows, the blast of the explosions, the game is fluid at all times ... In short, it is a flawless, withA risk taking of this level, it was not won !!
Soundtrack
19/20If you are totally airtight at the synthewave go your way.But, for all those who have taste, your ears will shudder with enjoyment!An absolutely brilliant soundtrack, which fits perfectly with the modern and tinged atmosphere of the 80s.It’s Rémi Gallego, from The Algorithm group, who is in control.Eh yes !A Frenchman for a Swedish game!cock-a-doodle Doo.Recall that it was already France that gave birth to raw carpenter and disturbator ... It gives faith in our talents (and yes, it is with us that Lara Fabian was born or other M.Pokora)).And the sound effects are not to be outdone, because it is Magnus Pålsson, already behind the audio of the brilliant VVVVVVVV.Isn't that a concentrate of geniality all that ??(yes, the genius exists, you can check in your dictionary)).
Mon avis concernant Hell is other demons sur PC
18/20Very few reproaches for this game which transpires control from one end to the other.To appreciate it, you should not be allergic to the 80s, but beware, it is not a retro game, but a modern game with retro airs!To rub it is to adopt it!
