Hellboy: The Science of Evil, developed by Krome Studios for the PlayStation Portable, is the second video game inspired by Mike Mignola’s iconic comic book character, also known from films and animated series. Featuring an original story, the game follows Hellboy as he pursues the sinister Von Klempt across six distinct environments, battling demonic creatures and Nazi-engineered monstrosities. Blending brawler-style combat with puzzle-solving and narrative interludes, the game delivers a gritty, action-packed experience.
Gameplay and Mechanics
Hellboy stands out with unique abilities tailored for dynamic combat. Using his signature Right Hand of Doom, he can smash structures, pick up objects like barrels or debris, and hurl them at enemies. His grappling moves allow for close-quarters takedowns or using foes as makeshift projectiles. The PSP version introduces a combat system distinct from its Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 counterparts, with adjusted AI and level designs optimized for handheld play, ensuring smooth performance and accessibility.
Multiplayer
The game offers six co-op multiplayer levels via ad-hoc WiFi, adapted from the single-player campaign but streamlined with puzzles designed for two players. While teamwork isn’t mandatory—each player tracks their own score—the cooperative mode adds a social layer to the demon-slaying chaos.
Story and Presentation
Though the PSP version shares the same original plot and characters as the console releases, it’s not a direct port. The story pits Hellboy against Von Klempt’s evil machinations, with varied environments enhancing the comic’s dark, supernatural vibe. Reviews note the game’s faithful adaptation of Hellboy’s world, though some critique its repetitive combat and modest visuals on PSP (Metacritic: ~60/100). The campaign lasts 4–6 hours, with co-op extending replayability.
