The first time I ever listened to Swedish hardcore band Refused’s seminal 1998 album, The Shape of Punk to Come, my brain leaked out of my ears. It is a major reason why extreme music sounded like it did in the 2000s, the connective tissue between generations of hardcore and metal. In a similar vein, The Outsiders’ Metal: Hellsinger tries to connect highoctane first-person shooting and rhythm gameplay with metal.
Rhythm FPSes are a relatively new phenomenon that might best be described as an unholy union between Doom and Crypt of the Necrodancer. Only a handful of games even currently exist in this nascent genre, and it’s not hard to see some striking similarities between them. What makes Metal: Hellsinger stand apart is the quality of its soundtrack and its slower gameplay.
