Hellmut is a very fun dudgeon crawler, rouge-like. It reminds of Enter the Gungeon, which is not necessarily a good thing, as I quickly lost interest in that game. However, I vastly prefer Hellmut to Enter the Gungeon. The difficulty is moderate, but fair. The gameplay is simple and addicting. Plus, I love the pixel-art! One major problem, as someone has already mentioned here, is that the couch co-op is unplayable! Me and my friend only get to the 2 wave of enemies before the game crashes; this happened every time! I even went as far as trying to contact the developers by email, but I never received a response. As it will likely be a permanent issue, I do not recommend this game for those looking to play with friends. That being said, I do recommend this game for those interested in the singleplayer mode.

My friend bought this game so we could play the advertised 2-player co-op Gauntlet mode. We cleared our first two waves and a specific enemy spawned and crashed the game. We tried several more times to play it, all resulting in crashes. There are still no patches or fixes, and after searching online, there don't seem to be any plans to fix it. The gaming industry is a mess, and it just gets worse when bugs like this go "unnoticed."
