Hell Architect makes the macabre somehow a bit more palatable with its devilishly cute art style and relatively lighthearted dark humor. Although fans of similar titles like Oxygen Not Included will likely have their interest piqued, the selling point of Hell Architect isn’t in its gameplay, but in its theme.

- 6.4Outside of that scope, it’s a bit difficult to recommend Hell Architect, especially with its hefty price tag. It simply falls short. Hell Architect is perfect for those seeking a fresh twist on the genre, but for those not interested in a colony simulator you might want to stay away. I am hopeful, however, that Woodland Games can add some DLC to provide more content in the future.
- Hell Architect is an amusing resource management game with quirky characters and a fun style, but it’s not very challenging, and some mechanics (like sinners ‘dying’) feel a bit out of place for a game which is supposed to be in hell. However, it’s a fun game to play when you want to play something casual, and finishing a scenario while having created a nice and efficient corner of hell does give a feeling of satisfaction.
- 5.0Stripped of its hellish veneer and of the illusion you’re actually calling the shots, Hell Architect is a relatively run-of-the-mill management game. It’s by no means torture to play, but it fails to live up to its wickedly intriguing premise – and the odd dashes of humour can’t fix that.
- 7.0Hell Architect is a game with fun and deep gameplay, morbid but cute art style which is bogged down by its story mode and its irritating characters and forgettable soundtrack.
- 7.0Peklo nie je také strašidelné, ako by ste sa vy, hriešne duše, mohli nazdávať. Dokonca je niekedy priam vtipné. Ale zlá správa pre lenivcov - aj tam treba pracovať, nebudete si len tak užívať vírivku s vriacou vodou. Budete trpieť, ale aj stavať, dolovať a dokonca sa naďalej starať o svoje telesné potreby. V Hell Architect tento systém uspokojivo funguje, i keď okrem samotného umiestnenia ničím nevyčnieva z radu bežných manažmentových a simulačných hier. Teda až na pár výstredností.
