About the game
Classic First Person Shooter style game. Like the good old days. An action game focused on speed, gore, guns, and metal music. Inspired by the 90s’ classics with modern visuals and audio!
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, AMD R7 240 GB / Nvidia GT 730 2GB / Intel HD 530, 20 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
It has been discounted 57 times in the 6 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 60 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 61 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 83 percent. On the same math Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun ($6.59, scores 80) and Hellbound: Survival Mode (free, scores 69) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
More about Hellbound
Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 2.3-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 562 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 14 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2020 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,422 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 228 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 325 reviews written there were positive, against 64 percent overall, and those are 35 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 2.3 hours; clearing it takes 6, which is 2.8 times the campaign.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 2.3 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
Hellbound is one of those short, sweet, and straight-to-the-point FPS boomer shooters that you'll enjoy over a nice weekend off. If you grew up with DOOM as I did back in the golden era of FPS games on PC decades ago, Hellbound will feel familiar to you in every regard. This has the same enemies, gameplay, key-finding to progress through levels, and overall graphics as the original DOOM games. Just as advertised...
