If you’re a Hellboy fan eagerly anticipating The Crooked Man, then brace yourself for some exciting news.
Hellboy: Web of Wyrd, the roguelike action brawler developed by Upstream Arcade, is now available at a monstrous 50% off during Steam’s Summer Sale. And, sure, it’s not the most loved piece of media that’s part of the franchise, but at these steal prices, who can complain?
The Hellboy Game With Mignola’s Touch
Web of Wyrd, one of our most-anticipated games for 2023, features an original story crafted with Dark Horse Comics and the franchise’s legendary creator Mike Mignola.
The game’s plot is a wild ride, containing a series of adventures tied to the Butterfly House.
Constructed in 1962 by occultist Pasquale Deneveaux, the Butterfly House is an architectural monstrosity that is a gateway to the Wyrd, a dimension filled with horrors beyond imagination:
Built upon occult ley-energies, its strange angles and non-Euclidean geometries were designed with a singular foul purpose in mind: to open doorways into a terrible and fascinating dimension called The Wyrd.
The game’s art style is a love letter to Mignola’s iconic visuals, bringing the comics to life with stunning fidelity.
In this adventure, when an agent of the B.P.R.D. goes missing, everyone’s favorite demon Hellboy is sent to investigate, dragging him into the mysterious and dangerous depths of the Wyrd.
The Ultimate Way to Pass the Time Until the New Movie
In Web of Wyrd, you’ll go face-to-face with a host of nightmarish creatures and homunculi as you explore the Wyrd’s treacherous realms.
The combat is designed to be both challenging and satisfying, encouraging players to learn patterns, dodge, parry, and deliver those signature Hellboy punches that send enemies into oblivion.
Sure, the game didn’t get glowing reviews—garnering a 61 from critics and a 6.7 user rating on Metacritic—it’s certainly worth it at the steal prices it’s currently on sale for, for any fan.
With 50% off thanks to Steam’s Summer Sale, you can bag the game for $12.49. Even if the game isn’t perfect, it’s still a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the franchise while waiting for the new movie.
Speaking of movies, The Crooked Man, the upcoming installment in the Hellboy franchise, is set to release in October 2024.
It stars Jack Kesy, known for his role as Gabriel Bolvier on The Strain, Roller Husser on Claws, and Black Tom Cassidy in Deadpool 2. The trailer for the movie just dropped, and we can’t wait to see more later this year.
