Embark on an unforgettable journey through the depths of Hell as you play as the Unknown, a humanoid with a demonic appearance who has lost her voice and memories. With Troy Baker as Paz and Jennifer Hale voicing the Red Judge, fight your way through each realm of Hell, defeat the aspect of the Red Judge found within and get your memories back. The game revolves around you using two base weapons to carve your way through the realms while shooting to the beat to gain points and do more damage.


What we like:
  • Minimalist plot but great conclusion
  • Multiple weapons with their own rhythm
  • Boons that make you more powerful
  • Metal music
  • Bullet hell boss fights
What could be improved:
  • Can only resurrect up to two times in a level at expense of score
  • Gameplay can be challenging to keep up with

This is not a video game. This is a psychological torture device. Do not attempt to play this game. You won't have an enjoyable experience. And that's intentional.
