Hellsplit: Arena

Set in a late-medieval dark-fantasy world filled with undead, Hellsplit: Arena puts you in the role of a warrior facing enemies in VR. Your avatar mirrors your movements, and the game is designed for room-scale play while standing.

Combat centers on physically swinging medieval weapons and using attacks such as stabbing, cutting, and blunt strikes. You can also grab, kick, and dodge; fights feature injury and dismemberment, and enemies include different types with their own combat approaches.

A campaign provides mission-based encounters, while additional modes include training fights against undead. Players also describe boss battles and a hardcore campaign option in which a run must be completed in one life.

In the supplied reviews, players who enjoy the game often praise its physical melee combat, satisfying weapon handling, gore, visuals, and challenging fights; some also like using mods. Critical reviews frequently focus on the PC version’s lack of updates, AI-generated artwork, repetitive encounters, limited content, and crashes. These are themes in this helpfulness-selected sample, not a representative survey of all players.
