While Hellboy Web of Wyrd is not the strongest example of a roguelike, the depth of its combat and themes more than make up for it. As perfect a representation of the Hellboy comic art as you could get in a 3D video game, Web of Wyrd is the best Hellboy game ever made, and an excellent entry point for new fans.
I do believe that Hellboy Web of Wyrd largely succeeds in being a faithful title to the franchise. However, this is down to its story, visuals, and performances, rather than the gameplay loop, which is a real problem for a roguelite.

Amazing game! I decided to double dip today and also buy it on PS5 and Switch to support the devs. Looking forward to see what else they'll be putting in this game (hopefully more).I don't know anything about Hellboy, but this game is up my alley. I love the roguelike, I love the graphics, I love the music. Everything is fitting right for me. 10/10. I'll most likely 100% achieve this one, and then jump on Playstation/Switch and do the same (maybe I'll buy it on Xbox also at some point LOL). It's just the type of gameplay that you don't get tired of in my opinion

The first Hellboy game in 15 years impresses with its faithful graphics. Sadly the gameplay can only be described as mediocre at best.
Missed opportunity haunts every inch of Hellboy: Web of Wyrd. It's simple to dive into and play but all too soon you reach the bottom of its shallow gameplay. Its roguelike runs are short and sweet, but its enemies aren't a challenge worthy of Hellboy.
Hellboy Web of Wyrd is a title brimming with promise and love for its source material, reflected in its atmospheric visuals and intriguing narrative elements. It effectively encapsulates the grim allure of the Hellboy universe, offering a visually enthralling journey through its stylized, comic-esque realms. Yet, the game decides to tread the roguelike path that ultimately casts a shadow on its narrative strengths, often turning what could have been an engrossing narrative-driven experience into a slog through repetitively structured levels.
At the regular setting, enemies don’t telegraph their attacks, and you need to go into accessibility if you even want to have a chance at dodging. Your dodge also offers limited or no invincibility frames and a short range, meaning you are unlikely to come out of a fight feeling powerful. The different weapons you grab, and the boons you pick up don’t add to the depth of the gameplay, while let down a visually stunning game.
If the game was merely simplistic, or lamentably brief, or even a little janky here and there, that would be something to work with. Instead, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd takes a carefully crafted tale, some A-1 voice talent, and a convincing sensation of walking around an actual Hellboy comic as Big Red himself, and dashes everything against the rocks of its gameplay.
I liked this more than others
Stunning visuals that look like a comic come to life. These are the best parts of the game, that and Lance **** amazing performance
The gameplay is where it stumbles, it's not unresponsive but for a Hellboy game there could've been a lot more done as this just feels like a less ambitious Hades

I mean it's a decent roguelike based on Hellboy and I enjoy it for what it is: you are Hellboy, a walking unstopable tank and you punch the living hell out of monsters.I am also glad that they used Mignola's **** game for me looks amazing. A bit repetitive thou :( 7/10

This game is terrible and the voice acting is so off it's offensive. This game is an insult to Hellboy, what horrible casting.

Summary Built in 1962 by occultist Pasquale Deneveaux, The Butterfly House is more than a mere residence; it's a gateway. Its perverse angles and non-Euclidean geometries were designed with a singular foul purpose in mind: to open doorways into a terrible and fascinating dimension called The Wyrd. Twenty years later, an agent of the B.P.R.D. ...
