To Hell with Hell Reviews

This is a worse version of Enter the Gungeon, even using some of the exact same weapons as Enter the Gungeon. I was ready to quit pretty early in this but went through and beat the game on the first difficulty to confirm my suspicions that this just wasn't great. The class system in this is based on consumable masks you find as you go, and it blows. Most of them suck and you die so fast sometimes you lose them before you even use an ability. The weapons are all insanely terrible and not enjoyable to use, and in general nothing about this game did anything for me except the music, which to its credit is great. Just play any other roguelike, there are hundreds to choose from.

A lot like Enter The Gungoun but with more gore. The game looks great, controls are surprisingly good, Enough in there to last you ages. 3/5 - Good

Looks fun, but it's not. I love these kind of games, but this one falls short. The controls are a bit rough, and I think the mask concept is kinda dumb. Having to press a button to pick things up in the heat of the battle isn't fun, why can't I walk over it and pick it up? It has potential, but cannot recommend. I prefer smoother twin stick types, like: Enter the Gungeon, Tesla vs Lovecraft, Nex Machina, Geometry Wars 3, etc..... 4/10

Wonderful game with lot of content and interesting mechanics, picture a Doom-themed Nuclear Throne

Only played a few hours but very fun. The masks are a cool mechanic IMO, and the biggest downside I saw was not good enough descriptions of what the mask abilities do (albeit after testing for a minute it is easy enough to figure out).

Didn't play very much, it wasn't very fun. Your weapons take like 5-6 shots to kill something, and you frequently have to just WAIT to have a safe opportunity to go in for an attack around the endless bullets and other environmental hazards. Masks as 'lives' is a neat idea, too bad you die to 2-3 hits no matter what mask you're using, and the rage felt like it took a long time to replenish Heavy music was pretty good, and the pixel art is okay. For the $2 price, sure, I'll give it a thumb up, but don't expect a lot of goodness in here.

For a game that is pretty much a bullet hell, having no dash/roll button is a big NO for me. Getting stuck between enemies and objects while trying to avoid lots of bullets really breaks any fun I could have with this game.

There's hard, there's really hard, and then there's this game. As someone who's partial to the "die a lot and progress" genre (enter the gungeon and dead cells are quite possibly my favorite games ever), but to hell with hell is an a whole other league. With all that being said, and with only being able to get to level 4 (oh, you'll see!) the game has a TON of content and never really feels unfair. Also, the game is absolutely perfect for loading up to play a quick game where you try to make it to the next level, in that respect, I certainly recommend the game, however, unless you've honed yourself on hardcore Japanese bullet hell games (think ikaruga), you won't stand a chance...but that doesn't mean you won't have fun!

It's... okay. Base weapons do too little damage and fire too slowly. At the start, you get weapons that do ~40 dps, and later in the game, you can get weapons that do 300-400+ dps. If you're unlucky with drops in later levels, you're SOL. Enemies are also bullet sponges, which exacerbates the dps problem. Lazurite would do well to narrow the range of both damage and enemy health. The mask implementation is another problem. They are pretty much de rigeur, but 3 hits and they're gone, and if you're unlucky, the very next mask you have cycles over and gets destroyed as well. Out of masks? Might as well die and restart. There are plenty of amazing bullet hell games on Steam - ETG, Nuclear Throne, Tesla v Lovecraft, NeuroVoider. THTH just doesn't stand out amidst the competition, sadly.

I bought it in the winter sale 2023 for under 2 € and really liked the 6 hours I played it. The other comments say it is abandoned, but I really hope for an update because there is a big potential.
