Hellboy: Dogs of the Night
Hellboy: Dogs of the Night is a 2000 American video game for the PC, developed by Cryo Studios. It was ported to the PlayStation as Hellboy: Asylum Seeker, developed by Hoplite Research and released in 2003.
The Hellboy game is based on Dark Horse Comics' science fiction comic book series Hellboy, written and drawn by Mike Mignola.
Commercially, the game was not successful. Having spent four years in development, the graphics and game play were dated, and at the time of its release, Hellboy was still a mostly unknown independent comic book series, especially outside the United States. The PC version had numerous bugs, and the PlayStation version was graphically inferior to most others at the time.
Both Cryo Studios and Cryo Interactive went out of business two years after Hellboy's PC release.
The PC version has a score of 11.50% at GameRankings.
Jason Babler of the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine rated the game 0.5 out of 5, saying, "God help me -- I didn't think it could ever be this bad."
