News: A new dark sci-fi RPG is now available set on a space station.

Cradle Games and Tinybuild have announced that Kickstarter-backed souls like RPG Hellpoint is now available. Hellpoint is an intense, dark sci-fi RPG set on a derelict space station orbiting an ominous supermassive black hole. Taking inspiration from games like Dark Souls and Dead Space and movies like Event Horizon and Hellraiser, Hellpoint is doubling down on co-op multiplayer (with both split-screen and online support) while immersing players in a twisted narrative involving Cosmic Gods, quantum physics, and extinct space civilizations.

The game is set in the aftermath of a massive quantum cataclysm called the Merge. You wake up on board the Irid Novo space station, a beacon of galactic cooperation and scientific exploration gone horribly wrong. What happens next will be solely determined by your choices.

Some of the key features in the game include:

Souls like gameplay in a unique setting: Explore the derelict space station of Irid Novo and face bizarre enemies with a tight and unforgiving combat system.

Occult Space Story: Blending science and fantasy, the intensely atmospheric dark sci-fi setting will keep you searching for answers.

Dynamic World: The Quantic System acts as a dungeon master, slightly transforming the game world every time you die and triggering events as the station revolves around the black hole.

Jump-in co-op and PvP Multiplayer: Ask a friend to press Start to join a couch co-op session or call for assistance online. Hellpoint offers a full, uninterrupted co-op story with shared loot drops.

Hellpoint is available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. There will also be a Nintendo Switch version but that will be released later this year. Check out the launch trailer and tell us what you think. Will you be picking up Hellpoint?
