![]() The enemies are, sadly enough, mostly just reskins of the zombies you fight in the base game, with very minor aesthetic changes to make them more aligned with Hellraid’s fantasy setting. You progress through the multi-tiered dungeon, looking for pieces of the Clavis Stone to be able that will allow you to progress through each tier, and along the way, all you do is fight enemies, open doors, and loot the occasional treasure chest. The DLC is all about looting and slashing, and little else. But again, actually playing through Hellraid is a very static and dull experience. Though its grim fantasy aesthetic isn’t necessarily something that you haven’t seen a hundred times before, it is completely different from the world of Dying Light, and so it does manage to carve out a place for itself in the game in interesting ways. Hellraid does have a pretty interesting look. DYING LIGHT HELLRAID REVIEW FULLYou enter the world of Hellraid – a medieval, grim castle full of dark fantasy enemies an objects – through the arcade machine in the Tower, and once you do that, you’re in a completely different world. It retains some of the core mechanics, of course, but it’s set in a completely isolated setting, with a different look and style, and different objectives. Unlike other ordinary expansions, Hellraid doesn’t have much (if anything) to do with Dying Light. "The DLC is all about looting and slashing, and little else."īut beyond these conceptual reasons, when you actually get down to playing Hellraid, there’s a lot that gets in the way of enjoyment. Meanwhile, the fact that Hellraid also gives us a brief look at Techland’s long-in-development fantasy looter slasher with the same name is also a treat for those who’ve been looking forward to that game (and sadly, probably will have to keep waiting for a good while). In that, the very fact that Hellraid even exists is a pleasantly surprising one- you don’t often see developers adding new content to a game that came out half a decade ago, especially when they’re working on a sequel for it as well. All told, Dying Light’s post-launch support has been nothing short of exceptional one, to the point that even now, five years away from the game’s release, and right on the cusp of its sequel coming out, we’ve got a new piece of content to dive into. But Techland stuck with their first person zombie adventure, doggedly improving the game bit by bit over time with admirable determination. Its initial launch in 2015 was a bumpy one, and like so many games this generation, the game suffered from a multitude of issues right out the gate. The Hellraid DLC can be played alone or with friends in co-op.Dying Light has had a curious journey. You may never get a chance to play a final version of that old game, but you can at least watch a grim gameplay trailer released back in 2013 below. This taste of the studio’s behind-closed-doors ambitions will offer a dungeon to explore, new weapons, and hellish enemies to encounter. Most interestingly, the content description says the add-on is a new game mode “based on Techland’s unreleased first-person fantasy slasher” of the same name. Hellraid has since been given a Steam page, offering up more clues on what Techland has planned for the surprise DLC. When Hell freezes over? More like this summer!ĭying Light – Hellraid DLC is coming soon to PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Techland took to the official Dying Light Twitter account to debut an ominous teaser video that features a demonic arcade cabinet and plans to launch the DLC for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One this summer. The original Dying Light is getting some interesting paid DLC called Hellraid more than five years after the game’s launch. ![]()
