Critic Reviews for Halls of Torment
If I could play this thing on a beige CRT while Rob Zombie screamed in my ears I wouldn't know it wasn't 1999. Actually, wait, I can do that. If anyone needs me, tell them I'm busy for the next… foreseeable future.
Halls of Torment offers tons of replayability with minimal fuss, and is just challenging enough to keep you engaged for every moment.
Halls of Torment is more than simply Vampire Survivors wearing Diablo’s clothes. It’s a clever and engrossing Survive ‘em Up that uses RPG trappings to add a ton of versatility and rewarding complexity to what would still be a fun game without it. There’s a pile of quirky character classes and a massive number of ways to build them during each run, just a big pile of content and not a shred of it feels like padding.
Much like Vampire Survivors, it's extremely compelling; time will slip away without you realising it. The gradual sense of progress is well judged, and there's just enough to keep track of, between unlocking characters and stages and totting up persistent upgrades, to hold your attention.
Halls of Torment è davvero una figata fotonica ed è giusto indicarlo così, di pancia, proprio per accentuare quante cose riesca a fare in modo ottimo. Giocato sin dal giorno uno della sua pubblicazione in Accesso Anticipato, la creatura di Chasing Carrots, team composto da cinque persone, è prontissimo per ritagliarsi una fetta del mercato importante e di creare, di conseguenza, un nuovo mito del genere roguelike. A renderlo incredibile è la totale personalizzazione anche nel game design stesso, come se fosse un videogioco nel videogioco che può essere affrontato come meglio si preferisce.

Horde survivors type of game with a retro pre-rendered presentation
Halls of Torment combines the character-building, loot and atmosphere of Diablo with the conciseness and pick-up-and-play nature of the Survivors-like genre to create an experience like no other. You might encounter the odd minor frustration while playing, but this is very easy to recommend.
With its retro aesthetic and tightly intuitive Survivors-like gameplay, Halls of Torment really packs a punch that'll satisfy any genre fan. ☠️
