Hellmut: The Badass from Hell won’t change the beat ‘em up genre, but it is, indeed, a recommendable acquisition for those who like these kind of games and, actually, for everyone who wants some carefree fun.

A few rough edges and unclear enemy attacks throw some bumps in the road, but it is still an enjoyable journey through the underworld nonetheless.

Especially the artdesing in this trip to Hell will remind you of Enter The Gungeon. But while the challenge is steep the rewards are too few and take too long to achieve to keep you motivated for a longer period of time.

Hellmut: The Badass from Hell tries to carve out a place in the twin-stick shooters arena, but the bullet hell/roguelite gameplay dynamics are a little sloppy and unsatisfactory, without a real sense of progression during the game.
