Metal: Hellsinger had me hyped and then immediately ran out of game. The soundtrack absolutely slaps, the art style is cool, and the cheesy story somehow works. When you’re locked in and hitting shots on beat, it feels amazing. That part? Peak. Everything else wears thin fast. It’s overpriced for how little content there is. Only a handful of levels, super repetitive design, barely any enemy variety, and the same …

I paid for this phenomenal album, and it came with a free game. Absolutely tremendous, 10/10.

Metal: Hellsinger is like if Doom and Guitar Hero combined into one. The story and gameplay are simple on the outside, but the combat is very satisfying combined with an exceptional, unique metal soundtrack. The graphics and performance are quite good as well. If you are a fan of bands like Dark Tranquility, Lamb of God, System of a Down, Trivium, Lorna Shore, and others, then this is a must play, as the music in …

🔥 Metal Hellsinger 🔥 🌟 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 🎮 Genre: Rhythm/FPS 📖 Review: I really love the music in this game, but the gameplay can get boring. It feels like the developers spent more time creating the soundtrack and less time on the actual game. The graphics look good, no question. The variety of weapons is nice, but some of them are completely useless for me. You have to get used to the rhythmic gameplay, and it can …

Sad to hear Funcom shut down the studio behind this gem; The Outsiders. Metal: Hellsinger was short, but it had soul, pure rhythm-fueled chaos that made me feel like the drummer of Hell itself. As a hardcore music lover, this game hit differently; the soundtrack, the vocals, the timing; everything synced perfectly. You could feel the passion of every musician involved. It’s bittersweet that they teased a sequel set …

Metal: Hellsinger sits at 91% positive across 227 opinionated reactions from 4 sources. Fresh or rotten — where do you land?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Eurogamer was positive about the game, noting that it "feels like an outpouring of emotion, as though the game itself is also a different, more personal kind of gestalt," beyond its references to the genre. IGN's review was more mixed, stating that while the game was good it was very short and the bosses were repetitive, adding "Metal: Hellsinger might not be the greatest demon-slaying shoot 'em up in the world, but it's certainly a stirring tribute". PC Gamer had a similar assessment, adding that it while it was unlikely to impact the genre, it was "a perfectly fine game with lots of replay value, some neat ideas, a good soundtrack and a goofy story." More than 1 million copies of the game…
