2.0 out of 5 stars
I realize that launch games need to be taken with a grain of salt. After all, most launch games are afterthoughts that companies put out at the eleventh hour and are on brand new hardware that they might not be comfortable with, but that really doesn't make up for this game's many, many faults.
The only good I had with this game was the sound. The Death Metal soundtrack is fantastic, and a really under-utilized genre as far as video game music goes. This game has crunchy tunes that really set the stage for the King of Hell to go about his business.
Unfortunately, it's all downhill after that. Think of this game as Pikmin on an acid trip. That's exactly what it is, sans growing Pikmin, exploration or any kind of unique, fun or strategic battles. This is a bare-bones copy of Pikmin that has zero frills attached to it. You start the game as the King of Hell who has been cast down from his throne. You need to get your throne back, but you can't directly attack enemies yourself, that would be un-er-kingly. So, instead you employ little goblins to do the attacking, and dying, for you.
There are three basic types of goblins in this game: Soldier Class, Spearman Class and Magic Class. You're soldiers are basically your grunts, vast and expendable. This unit will lead the charge most of the time. You throw this class onto the backs of enemies until you get enough to unleash a Salvo attack that will do massive damage to the enemy, but also causes all your minions to fall off the enemy demanding you to throw them back on. Most enemies other than bosses, won't live up to more than two of these Salvo attacks. The Spearman Class can line up in formations that you can then propel along the ground to do massive damage when they hit, or a long recoil effect when they miss. The Magic Class hurls magic from afar, and when you line up this group, you also get a noticeable increase to your walking speed.
You can collect ingredients from every enemy minus the lowest class ones. That means any enemy that you can do a Salvo attack on, you will collect an item from. Items can be used to synthesize armor and weapons for your minions, as well as items to help in battle and armor for yourself, the King of Hell. It's pretty impossible to farm these items as they all seem like random drops, which means, it'll be hard to go back to a specific level just to farm an ingredient that you need for a weapon or armor piece that you want to upgrade on your minions.
The game boasts 40 stages, although the credits roll after Stage 20, but this game is such a chore. Every environment is bland with the same color scheme. And they are all floating islands, read: rings, in which you need to defeat all enemies to unlock the bridge to the next area. There is little to no exploration at all, and whatever miniscule amount of exploration there is, the game actually punishes you for exploring because it drops your overall score for more time used at the end of the stage result screen.
The enemies are reused just as much as the environments are, even the bosses are repeats, just colored a different way to reflect a different attribute. That yellow minotaur that you fought 3 stages back, is now a red minotaur because he can spew flames.
Overall, outside of the great soundtrack, there isn't much more to like about this game. It can be fun for a while, but eventually, even the most die hard supporter or Army Corps of Hell will tire of the same environments and enemies being bandied about and the paper thin story that is supposed to be the glue that holds this thing together.

Vita Value: Army Corps of Hell
Hello everyone I'm going to start reviewing vita games YAY and for my first review I review Army Corps of Hell! When I get to the overall rating I rate games based on how much you should buy it at!
Story
The story for this game is about a King of Hell that aims to take down demon gods to rule all of hell with the help of goblins and that is all you need to know about the story!
Design/Gameplay
To get through the Story you have to kill lots and lots of demons and bosses throughout 40 stages (credits roll after stage 20 but every level isn't completed until you complete stage 40) The Bosses are the best thing about this game as the demons to get to them are quite repetitive but somewhat enjoyable to keep killing. You can't attack as the King of Hell but you use your minions to attack! You can upgrade your minions by creating weapons and armor for them through picking up loot As for the Multiplayer I could not try that out as it's not online multiplayer and I don't have any friends that have the Vita with Army Corps of Hell
Graphics
The Bosses look nice....... as for the rest it almost looks like a PSP game!
Sound
The Music in this game is full of metal tracks that sound good but start to get old once you keep playing!
Overall/Value
This game has is $40 MSRP in both Physical and Digital form I recommend buying this game when it reaches $20 aka $19.99 as it was not worth $40 for me its an enjoyable title just playing to beat the story!

Good times in hell.
Overall, I like the game. The theme is dark and humorous, right up my irreverent alley. I picked it up on sale for $20 and I feel it is worth that price. Read more

Not Great
This game is OK for the first half, but then the areas get cheap. There are electric fences and fire traps that are almost impossible to avoid. Read more
