Aside from a guest appearance in Injustice 2, Hellboy has been absent from the video game scene for almost two decades.
That’s changed with the release of Upstream Arcade and Good Shepherd Entertainment’s Hellboy: Web of Wyrd, a new roguelike game that allows players to once again step into the role of the world’s greatest paranormal investigator … who just happens to be a demon from Hell.
“The game is set around 1982 in Hellboy’s timeline,” Martin tells Digital Trends. “There’s a series of paranormal spikes occurring around the world, and through further investigation, it appears they’re giving off a set of coordinates that point Hellboy and his team towards South America and into Argentina. When they arrive at this location, they find an abandoned mansion called the Butterfly House.
Into the Mignolaverse One of the big swings that the developers took on this game was to adapt Mignola’s unique comic book style and fully integrate it into the game’s visual design. The team didn’t have a lot of other examples to rely upon, as they were pioneers when it came to adapting the comics, rather than their film adaptations.
From page to screen Getting the art right was a feat in itself, but the real challenge would come from adapting flat panels into interactive gameplay. What does Hellboy play like? What does the world of the comics sound like? And most importantly, who was the right person to voice the devil? To fully realize Hellboy’s character, the team turned to John Wick actor and Fringe star Lance Reddick.
