It was released via [Steam](/source/Steam_(service)) and [itch.io](/source/Itch.io). Both developers had previously collaborated on *[Heavy Bullets](/source/Heavy_Bullets)* (with Doseone as a composer); they would later collaborate on *[Sludge Life](/source/Sludge_Life)* and *[Disc Room](/source/Disc_Room)*.[1] ## Gameplay High Hell is a [first-person shooter](/source/First-person_shooter) where the player controls an unnamed female [luchador](/source/Luchador) as she infiltrates a [cartel](/source/Cartel) and massacres its members. The player navigates various levels in the form of linear corridors between buildings, as they shoot enemies in quick succession. A kick attack is available to kick down doors to speed up progress as well as to subdue enemies. The player may also choose to engage in stealth to go unnoticed. One unique feature is that the player only has limited ammunition and cannot reload, forcing the player to complete the level in quick bursts with high accuracy. The game's objectives, aside from defeating enemies, also include saving hostages and burning [laundered money](/source/Laundered_money).[1][2] ## Reception Reception Aggregate scores Aggregator Score Metacritic 79/100[3] OpenCritic 76% recommend[4] Review scores Publication Score Destructoid 8/10[5] VentureBeat 80/100[6] *High Hell* received "generally favorable" reviews, according to [review aggregator](/source/Review_aggregator) website [Metacritic](/source/Metacritic).[3] [OpenCritic](/source/OpenCritic) determined that 76% of critics recommend the game.[4] Chris Moyse of *[Destructoid](/source/Destructoid)* praised its unique and fast-paced gameplay and noting that its intensity overcame the game's extremely short length.[5] Stephanie Chan of *[VentureBeat](/source/VentureBeat)* noted its chaotic gameplay and absurdist humor to be the game's greatest strengths.[6] ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-:0_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-:0_1-1) Tarason, Dominic (October 23, 2017).
