I ain’t happy, I’m feeling glad, I got a shotgun in my hand
Out now onSteamandthe Microsoft Storefor £8, the Essential Hits Pack offers eight new songs that are mmmostly pop:
The devs note, mind, that these licensed DLC songs don’t include the Song Layering feature, which add more and more layers of a song as your murder intensifies. That is a shame but I suppose on balance—to quote Icona Pop—I don’t care! I love it! I will also—as Depeche Mode almost said—reach out and shoot face. But it will take a lot for me to hear Down With The Sickness as anything other than the unofficial theme song for J.Blo’s Puzzle Island (“You mother, get up, come on, get down withThe Witness”).
Hellsingerdoes have mod toolsletting players add whichever music they please, but there’s a lot to say for the convenience of buying DLC (not to mention supporting ongoing development, if you wanna).
I really should try this. I listened to Arch Enemy, Soilwork, and Dark Tranquility way back when and they all have singers on the soundtrack, and I love a bit of Charli XCX and the Mode now, so I’m covered on all bases. I see Hellsinger is still available through Game Pass (not including paid DLC, obvs) as well as sold on Steam, so that’s my weekend playtime sorted.
I am now daydreaming of an easy difficulty mode which slows the violence with a load of downtempo doom metal. Please somebody tell me the game already thought of this.
