Hell is Other Demons Review | Down the well, straight to Hell

“For anyone who wants an arcade challenge or a hit of Super Meat Boy without the frustration, few games fit that description more than Cuddle Monster Games’ latest hellish creation.”

“All things considered, Hell is Other Demons is a very good platforming shooter that plays smart, is challenging, and ultimately will support a wide variety of styles through its varied weapons and upgrades...”

Hell is Other Demons Review – TheSixthAxis

“Hell is Other Demons is a shining example of how to make a game that's relentlessly difficult, while also being utterly satisfying and enjoyable to play. It may get to be too hard way too fast, but once you get over that difficulty ramp, you're in for a hell of a good time. The incredible gameplay is matched by an awesome aesthetic and incredible sound design. If you want some unforgiving video game action, look no further.”

Hell is Other Demons

“Hell is Other Demons hit the center point perfectly between the mad mindless bullet-hell shooter and the more tactical jumping game. Except for a tough start and a little monotonous boss fights we have nothing to criticize.”

Hell is Other Demons Review

“Hell is Other Demons offers two great, differing modes that will grab your attention, and hold it for hours. The aesthetic will almost hurt your eyes, but you’ll never want to look away from it as the soundtrack and accompanying effects both visually and audibly are tantalizing. Cuddle Monster Games has achieved something special with Hell is Other Demons. This is a devilishly clever bullet-hell shooter that you need to see for yourself.”

Hell Is Other Demons (PC) REVIEW – A Worthwhile Trip To Hell

“Hell Is Other Demons goes the distance in its refined and frantically paced gameplay that captures the nostalgia of 8-bit arcade shooters.”

Hell is Other Demons (Switch) Review

“That said, Hell is Other Demons separates itself not only with stunning visuals, but with its wonderfully designed campaign mode. I prefer how upgrades work within the campaign more than the arcade mode, but the fast-paced arcade action is still a blast to play. My chief complaints have been addressed in a post launch patch, making this a strong experience front to back.”

“Fueled by an absolutely killer soundtrack, Hell is Other Demons is a frenetic action-packed game that’ll have you telling yourself “just one more run” as you chase that high-score.”

Hell Is Other Demons Review – Hell Hath Far Too Much Fury

“A fun, but frustrating, bullet hell shooter with some of the best damn pixel graphics and chiptune sounds out there.”
