Publisher Devolver Digital announces High Hell, a first-person shooter planned
for release later this year. This is a collaboration between developers they
call the "patron saints of oddball games," Terri Vellmann (
Heavy Bullets)
and Doseone (
Enter the Gungeon and
Gang Beasts) and the are
showing off this weekend to attendees at PAX West. The game has a very stylized
retro look shown in this
reveal trailer, which also depicts what they accurately describe as "neon
soaked, breakneck" action. Here's word:
Descend upon the criminal underground with an absurdly large gun and bring
lethal salvation to those that have fallen from the light. Righteous fury and
fancy footwork are crucial to survive an escalating, absurd series of outlandish
missions. Pop brainwashed chimps, deface corporate effigies, and dismantle the
business dealings of the unrepentant cartel in a vibrant remix of the classic
first-person shooter.
“The original High Hell pitch just had players kicking down doors and setting
fire to bags of cocaine but that would have made for a weird age rating
description so we added in a bunch of guns and violence,” noted Devolver Digital
CFO Fork Parker.
