Good Game Get! Helsing’s Fire

Helsing’s Fire is a puzzle game.

Which admittedly sounds kind of boring, but it’s also a puzzle game in which you slay demonic monsters with a deadly torch and tonic combination. Bad ass.

Also the music is pretty rad too.

In the game you are met with the challenge of disposing all of the monsters on screen using only a torch and some tonics. You need to position the torch to light up the enemies while the game utilizes some slick lighting techniques. Objects will block your light, and as the game’s difficulty increases you’ll have to focus your light on certain enemies, while avoiding other enemies and innocent lady bystanders.

Once you’re satisfied with what your light is hitting, you’ll use a tonic to create a shock wave from the torch that destroys the enemies.

The game’s difficulty lies in placing the torch’s correctly and eliminating the enemies in a certain number of movies because you’re limited in your tonic use.

The game is a good length too at ninety levels, but I did find myself completing some in seconds, while others took minutes.

Ratloop’s Helsing’s Fire is the best game I’ve played from the App Store in almost a month, and while I typically don’t factor in game prices into my traditional recommendations, at only 99¢ you’d be silly not to purchase this game.

Unless of course you hated fun.
