Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition gets first screens photo

I don't really expect any of you to care about this, since it's a new IP from an untested studio. Nevertheless, no other blog will deign to talk about it, so we're duty bound to give it some attention. You're just doing to have to deal with that.

In case you missed our previous coverage, which is hardly surprising, Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition is a first-person-shooter set in the 13th Century. Players are charged with tackling the enemies of God, smashing apart heretics and demons in what is undoubtedly a more interesting concept for a shooter than the usual space marine nonsense.

Until recently, all that existed of the game was talk. Now there are screens, although only a handful. The game is to be shown off in more detail next month in Lyon, so hopefully we can get some footage of the game in action soon.

Hmm, I'll listen to more when more is known. Do we know if its going to be an action game, an RPG, or something between?

Looks good, been paying attention to it for a while now. No release date, I assume?

Everything with Hellion in the title has a high chance of being badass. Somehow I'm not supposed to pay attention to that Sterling? Please.

I was gonna post a picture of Vagiant singer/guitarist Hellion but I figured no one would get it. :/

I give this blog post a 4.5/10.

Seriously though, this does look pretty sweet.

I've been super stoked for this ever since you started talking about it, Jim.

A game based around the Inquisition in the Middle Ages is enough to spark some definite interest in me. It's good that some studios are willing to take such an over saturated genre like FPS and turn it on its head.

This actually sounds kinda cool, but fps? It looks more like a 3rd person action game.
