Cradle Games’ ruthless adventure headed to Nintendo platform
tinyBuild has revealed an official release date for thepreviously delayedNintendo Switch port of sci-fi hack ‘n’ slash adventureHellpoint.Already available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, the Switch port will launch on the eShop February 25, before launching physically on PS4 and Switch a day later on February 26.
Blending elements of sci-fi, horror, and fantasy,Hellpointis the story of an anonymous humanoid, who finds themself stranded on the isolated space station Irid Novo. Players guide the humanoid through dark corridors of the hi-tech facility, while battling grotesque, occult creatures and uncovering the mystery behind the space station’s derelict status.
Described by tinyBuild as a “Souls-like” title,Hellpointalso features co-op multiplayer for its story campaign, as well as a hard-hitting Vs. mode. A particularly neat gameplay feature sees the locale of Irid Novo persistently orbiting a Black Hole in real time, with the enemies’ strengths and weaknesses altering in relation to the station’s distance from the anomaly at any given time.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X editions ofHellpointare expected to arrive later in 2021.
