Hellforces

About

Hellforces is a first-person shooter where you fight through hordes of demon-possessed zombies in a world being consumed by a corporate Hell. Armed with 24 weapons and tools like binoculars, night-vision, and motion sensors, you navigate levels filled with fast-paced combat and environmental hazards. The gameplay leans into chaotic action with a focus on weapon variety and tactical gadget use to survive waves of enemies. The game’s story sets it apart with its darkly humorous twist on demonic capitalism. Baphomet, a demon CEO, aims to harvest human souls for energy, targeting a scientist’s soul-powered invention. While the 2004 release date and PC-only platform might feel dated, the over-the-top narrative and relentless shooting loops still draw praise from retro shooter fans. Its blend of gory enemies and corporate horror themes remains a niche standout.

And now the turn finally came to the world called Earth, where a scientist - psychonaut Henry Alfred Cole - had just discovered a way to obtain practically unlimited energy. Only its source was the human soul, and previously separated from the body...
