Metal: Hellsingeris a neat rhythm shooter, in which you blast demons in time to the beat of heavy metal. This week brought the release of new Purgatory DLC, which adds new tracks and a bow weapon, but also the launch of a free Horde mode update. The latter lets you fight escalating waves of enemies in different arenas, with between-wave powerups and permanent upgrades to unlock.
The horde mode is called Leviathan. It lets you create your own music playlist, so that the music shuffles as you move onto the next arena. Arenas come in a different order on each run, and unlike in the base game, you don’t keep collected weapons indefinitely - although there are permanent abilities, called Dreams, which can unlocked using Void Echoes earned through play. If you manage the complete the mode, you’ll unlock a new skin.
As more of a shooterhead than a metalhead, I’m more interested in the new weapon, The Telos bow. Bows are always the best weapon in first-person shooters. This one can be charged-up to release stronger shots, deals more damage on headshots, and arrows can be picked up and re-used.
The Purgatory DLC costs £5/€6/$6.
