We're incredibly thankful for this reception, and we can't wait for you all to rock your way through the Hells. Get ready for a wild ride, Hellsingers.

Correctly striking a succession of notes in a rhythm game gives me a huge high, but I'm more familiar with feeling the corresponding low. A succession of missed notes whizzing past sounds like an ode to my failure, and in mashups that mix demanding rhythms with another genre - like Crypt Of The Necrodancer, say - these reminders of my musical inadequacy often drown out even the simplest pleasures.

Often but not always. Metal: Hellsinger's mix of rhythm game and Doom 2016-style shooter kept me tapping my foot as I battled through hell - even as I failed regularly, and even as someone who doesn't care for metal music.

If you’re one of the very online malcontents that’s constantly droning on about difficulty in games, eyes up – this one’s for you. Metal: Hellsinger, when played properly, is a tricky game with a steep learning curve, and it has no qualms about throwing you into the mosh pit and knocking you down until you can barely get back up. Even the first level will embarrass you deeply if you’ve got no sense of timing and rhythm. To succeed in Hell, you need to keep time.

This is nothing new, of course: BPM: Bullets Per Minute, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Cadence of Hyrule, and Before the Echo have been popularisiing the genre somewhat over the last few years – giving those of us who like to bob our heads and nod in time to indiscriminate video game murder plenty to chew on. But few games do it all as well as Metal: Hellsinger.

Even if you don’t like metal, there’s value here. As a game, there’s a sense of flow you can easily activate listening to the blast beats of 4/4 and pulling off your slick maneuvers, empowering you and making you really feel like an indestructible master of war. Even better, if you keep your multiplier high by doing everything in time with the beat and going off-time, you ‘earn’ the vocal tracks with some high-profile industry names.

It finally happened, Hellsingers!

The Metal: Hellsinger live concert at Gamescom was a roaring success! As the hall filled up with Hellsingers (3500 people, with hundreds of thousands watching from home!!) the atmosphere was electric. Once the music started, we were absolutely blown away, both by the performances, and by the crowd.



It was an absolute joy to see so many of you, in person if you could make it, on the streams, and in comments everywhere. Thank you all!

For anyone who missed the concert, we have your back. You can watch the full thing right here:

Together with the musicians, you made this an unforgettable experience and simply the most amazing videogame event we've experienced, complete with a mosh pit, an intrepid crowd surfer, a lot of headbanging, at least one moment of "oh no, please don't drop Matt Heafy", and incredible performances!

See you on September 15!

Hello, Hellsingers!

We were so focused on preparations for tomorrow’s epic concert that we did not see this one coming – at the Opening Night Live show, Metal: Hellsinger won Gamescom’s Most Wanted PC Game! Everyone here is over the moon and want to thank all of you for the support and passion we’ve seen ever since we released the demo and even before!

Join us in celebrating this win by rocking out remotely to the Metal: Hellsinger live concert at Gamescom on August 25 at 19:00 CEST! We’ve partnered with Loudwire, IGN, The Game Awards, and of course, Gamescom for this awesome occasion. If you happen to be at Gamescom, make sure you join us when the doors open at 18:00 in Hall 6 – the concert is free!

This is the biggest concert Gamescom has ever had, but it’s no wonder, given that it will be graced by the combined might of Matt Heafy (Trivium), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity), Dennis Lyxzén (Refused/INVSN), and James Dorton (Black Crown Initiate)!



We’re also pleased to announce that Metal: Hellsinger will have full Razer Chroma RGB integration, letting you sync your lights to the sound of the game (that’s right, you can hook it up so every beat lights up the room). It’s really the perfect fit for a game where success is measured by how attuned to the beat you are.
