Metal: Hellsinger, a rhythm-based shooter developed by The Outsiders, now has full VR compatibility, providing players with a more immersive way to experience the demon-filled adventure. The odd genre mashup, which plays like a musical version of Doom, is one of several recent products that have served to shake up a rhythm game industry that had gotten increasingly stagnant.
Metal: Hellsinger, which was released in late 2022 by Swedish developer The Outsider, combines the gunplay of a standard first-person shooter with rhythm-based gameplay that awards players for slaughtering foes in time with the music. The hard-hitting soundtrack for Metal: Hellsinger includes heavy metal stalwarts like Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe singing alongside other well-known singers and musicians, offering the game an aura of authenticity likely to thrill aficionados of the musical genre. The game was largely well-received when it was launched on consoles and PC in 2022, with many players and reviewers applauding Metal: Hellsinger for making a unique tribute to both heavy metal and vintage shooters.
