All Hell Unleashed

All Hell Unleashed is an insane mashup where the most iconic horror movies villains you can think of gets unleashed on the world by some creepy cult. Your job is to run through levels based on their movies, collect dimensional orbs to open a portal to the next area and then fight the boss to get a piece of this broken amulet. You gotta put the amulet back together to, y'know, save the world and stop everything from being eternal darkness. No big deal, right?

The gameplay feels super old-school, like proper NES hard. You've got your run, jump and duck. Oh, and you can throw weapons. There are a few different ones to find, like a knife, some brass knuckle knives that go through blocks and molotovs that blow stuff. The cool part is that each boss has a specific weapon they're weak to, so you gotta figure that out. The platforming is kinda tricky, but you get a double jump on some platforms which helps. It's all about learning the patterns, both of the levels and the bosses, which is classic NES vibes.

The presentation is mindblowing for a fangame. The pixel art is so good, each level totally nails the feel of the movie it's based on. And the music? They literally got the actual themes from the movies, like the Halloween theme and the Friday the 13th theme. It's so cool hearing those chiptune versions. It just oozes atmosphere and love for the horror genre.

But the craziest part is all the secrets. This game is packed with cheat codes and hidden modes. There's a mode where you die in one hit, an infinite health cheat, and even this… uh, weird disrobe mode that does exactly what you think it does. There are hidden rooms you can find with codes that reference other stuff, even one that makes fun of the game's own lag. It's clear the devs just went for it and had a ton of fun stuffing this thing with easter eggs.

The only real bummer is that it can be pretty brutal difficulty-wise. It's not unfair, but you'll die a lot learning the layouts and boss patterns. There are some power ups that show up when you're low on health, which is a nice mercy, but it's still a tough ride. Also your choices matter, you find some damsels in distress and if you save them you get full health, but if you don't, it affects the ending.
