Fascinating Multiplayer of The Haunted: Hell’s Reach

When playing as demons, the game takes on a whole new facet. You actually choose where to spawn the demons and what kind of demons to spawn. The goal, at least in Battle mode, is to kill all the humans. That is done by a combination of clever demon placement and perhaps some good skills when you take on the role of an actual demon (right click to spawn as a demon).

However, The demons are some fragile creatures who seemingly get killed by a single good shot, a lot. Plus, some of the weapons appear to be really powerful in comparison to what the demons have going for them which, for a lot of them, is a melee attack. Then again, if you were the human and a horde of demons was coming at you, that’s exactly how you’d want it. The problem with this gameplay mode is that demons don’t really get a score or anything, it’s simply kill the humans or lose. As Humans it’s just your standard gameplay with a score at the end of the levels.

In Inferno and Survival multiplayer it’s a standard players versus the game AI.

Demonizer gameplay is much like some zombie modes where you are human until you die, then you play for the other team and are trying to kill other players so that you can be reborn as a human.

haunted has some good multiplayer action

The server browser is lacking. While you can search for specific game modes, when perusing the entire server list you can’t see the game the servers are currently playing only the server name, map, number of players and a green/yellow/red indicator presumably for ping.

So if you are looking for a specific type of game you have to filter and then search again. This has caused  some players to put the game mode and difficulty level in the server name.

 Our Rating for The Haunted: Hell`s Reach Review (Windows PC)
7.5
Replay
The single player is more like training so you know the levels for the multiplayer. Some of the MP modes are interesting.
8.5
Graphics
Some things are terrible, like the pixelated character portraits, while the main graphics of the environments and enemies is quite well done. Still, it always feels and looks sort of like a budget title. Then again, it is one.
8.0
Sound
Some weird catch phrases come from your players at the weirdest times which is sort of distracting but other than that the sounds are pretty decent.
8.5
Gameplay
The multiplayer modes have some interesting twists in them but the single player just feels like training missions so you can learn the levels and you can find a place to stand and just shoot away like fish in a barrel without really needing any strategy or skills.
9.0
Multiplayer/Online Content
Muiltiplayer is where The Haunted Hell`s Reach shines brighter. Demonizer is like zombie mode in other games but the most interesting was when you play as a demon in Battle where you control the spawning of demons and can take direct control of them when spawning.
8.5
Overall
The Haunted Hell`s Reach delivers on intense third-person action as it wanted but stumbles in some areas which detract from the overall experience. Still, for $20 this is definitely a game that should offer dozens of hours of action and enjoyment making it a great value.
