You can easily lose health just by being close to enemies.
Takes so long to get going.
The weapons are good but the real fun ones are so hard to find.

Summary

To Hell With Hell is a twin-stick roguelike that goes for a hell-based run approach. In reality, it’s a very drab game as the locations all feel the same, the enemy-type pool is small and the weapons are fun but rare. I found myself just not enjoying it all, there was no solid loop to keep me going and instead, it felt like I would die in some lame way and respawn in a different room and go through it again. It just doesn’t feel like it has enough meat in there or uniqueness to justify any real dedication to it all. I tried and I tried but it just never got going and even if I finally found a good weapon, the ammo would be so sparse that it cannot really be used. I’m not sure why or what this game is going for because it’s almost a stripped-down roguelike and they forgot to put a load of content back in.
