Game that obliterates you for fun

A deathmatch survival MMO which takes PVP to the unseen extreme.

I said for fun!

Remember the 90-es? No?

Good, forget about it, the very first day you launch H&H — you are fucked.

Literally, you have 0 chances to live a normal life and remain sane at once.

FOR FUN, SOOQUAA

Because this bitch is awesome.

You will hate it, love it, and regret playing the game all the time simultaneously.

Believe me, Dark Souls trilogy just suck cocks compared to H&H in hardcore.

You died? No recovery, no exceptions, no mercy.

A key feature is that if you die — your character is deleted permanently, all the time you spent is wasted for good. Had 2y character? Fuck you, respawn from scratch.

In order to have a decent fighting character, you had to intensely grind 24/7. And by grind, I mean making shitton of stuff, which may sound confusing at this point.

Of course, botting was present here, but the majority of players had to bite the bullet in order to have at least a decent character. To put in perspective, you had to spend six months in order to manually level up from 10 to 500 stat values by yourself.

Why the game is complicated?

Because no matter how skilled you are, you start naked, pathetic, and weak.

You cant level up stats with exp, only with food.

And as well, you have to level up attributes by a learning experience from items. No other way to do it efficiently was present at that time.

So basically, your character was vulnerable to death in PVP MMO. Oh and also every crime action, which is basically dealing damage to others, considered crime. While having a crime debuff on your character will remain in the world even after you logout. Thus, becoming easy prey.

You die — you out, that’s the story.

This pathetic pray is your character when you spawn. And manage to find safe cave.

THE COMBAT SYSTEM — ODIN BE PRAISED

Short description — you raped the very instance you start any fight.

Because in order to fight, you have to learn Murder + Assault + Martial Arts + craft fighting gear. First two may take from 2 days to 2 months, depending on your playstyle. The rest can take from 2 to 6 months. Gear especially.

Now, you can’t buy anything, because there are no NPCs in-game, only a community of traders who run marketplace at the very center of map each wipe. In order to buy something there, you have to gather rare curiosities and survive to make it there and back.

Survived? Good, now it is time to fight ANTS. THEY ARE YOUR MORTAL FOE, FOOL. Do you get it? In order to even learn how to fight you need to fight a deadly foe.

You think ants are ok? Their attacks ignore armor. Always.

Topping to the cake — each enemy has separate attacks and moves cooldown. Each enemy. Imagine fighting 20 ants this way.

This is considered shitty gear, but it is ENG GAME GEAR.

Now, you picked a fight with ants. Good, go set up your fighting deck. Can you sense it? The game makes fun of you BEFORE you deal any damage.

So, after you fought ants, you find, after 30-th ant, you get new punch card or something like that and think of yourself “I’mma mighty warrior! I can take down fox!”

That's how you die your first time.

Remember — your sense of humor is a vital part of survival.

Growing up to die painfully

Let’s see, how much you can handle. This game does not challenge you, it humiliates you. It makes you feel stupid, retarded, offended, misplaced, and outdated.

And you will enjoy it, I promise.

Now, let’s take a look at GUI, shall we?

This window is made to humiliate you. It also takes 4 months of solo grind to reach such stat values.

These are fine Abilities, you can increase them by hunting down items across the world.

Items, yes my friend, you have to hoard that shit as hard as you can.

They are fine but take shitton of time to master.

Looks cool, isn’t it?

Relax and suffer.

AND THIS IS YOUR MORTAL PERIL.

THE BASES, THEY HATE YOU, THEY OFFEND YOU.

THEY HUMILIATE YOU IN YOUR OWN ROOM WHILE WATCHING YOU CRY.

Growing in gore and complexity

Demands for each skill grows with level for ALL the skills in the range. Updated Agility from 20 to 50? Now you have to fulfill the food bar with 50 points of agility, and the best agility food you have basically +5 saturation points to that bar.

Also, m8, now you have to eat 50 points of saturation for STR, CON, INT, DEX and so on

Collaborate or die.

Demands for progression not just grow exponentially, they become even more difficult on a separate axis. The social axis.

Each food type makes your character saturated by n%, thus, feasts require from 2 to 3 months of intense grinding for the experienced players.

After the point of 1k stats, which is virtually impossible to reach in solo, you have to turn to other players for help and collaborate with them in order to further develop your character.

And the decent characters are considered 5 to 10k in AGI, STR, INT, DEX, and CON. For the first year of the world. Until by the second winter of the world Russians from AD or Hedgehogs alliance grow some 50k fighters, just to keep things polite. The sickest of players go for 100k stats in both, base and attributes.

Second-year of each world is almost always a slow fight between remaining neckbeards and thin-boiz.

Yes, you can customize your coffin here, but don’t fool yourself. You will drown to death.

The bizarre world and biomes.

See that floating coffin? That’s ma ship, good ol’ uKnarr.

Now, let you give a perspective on movement around in H&H.

Every game world takes 20 real hours to cross it from the corner to corner on feet.

BY FEET, BOI.

You always can have a horse… no, not before you learn how to fight things until they die. Suffer.

This is your usual death in H&H

Meeting a mammoth, wolf, goat, boar, bear or any other animal before you reach 150 in bases and attributes tied to fighting is DEATH, OBLITERATION, SUFFERING.

No exceptions.

Do you think fighting undead in DS was hardcore? How about fighting an unending stream of deadly mobs in the underground levels of your mining shaft?

They will respawn, go back to you, and rape in 20v1 manner.

You have to fight them if you want to live and prosper. Suffer.

Why even bothering playing this game?

Because after you overcome all of it and achieve …

BLAH BLAH BLAH, BECAUSE YOU WILL DIE, LOL, MULTIPLE TIMES AND WILL CRY ABOUT IT YOUR FIRST TWO.

But for real, after you overcome this, you unlock social playground and can start making a real difference in the political shape of the world.

Remember Hitler? Good, you can become one here. A real tyrant with a loyal army of living and breathing people to obey you. Or not, if they decide to gang-bang you because you suck and watch silly porn instead of doing useful tasks.

The thing is — you have to deal with people, you have to deal with real people when it comes to cooperation or fighting. Every player manually controls his fighting character, now imagine coordinating squad of 20 characters by yourself.

This is where you learn peak efficiency and begin to climb ladder of H&H gameplay.

This is RPG, or role-playing game.

In this RPG you synergize with the character the moment you get fucked over by local wildlife or other players.

This piece of pixels as alive as you are because you sacrifice your blood in order to create the character. Because you are becoming one with it. No magic, voodoo bullshit, or anything else. One day you just log in and feel like character became part of you.

The game puts it’s every effort to make you feel your own character, so it can start throwing death at you in immense amounts.
