'Boiling Point: Road to Hell' Returns To Steam And GOG Next Week - Screens & Trailer

In Boiling Point: Road to Hell gamers will travel to the present day jungles of South America and battle competing factions in a brutal guerrilla war.

Boiling Point: Road to Hell is back.

Saul Myers is back in action and ready to take on the world to get his daughter back. Do you have what it takes to complete his mission?

Revisit this early pioneer in the open-world roleplaying FPS genre. Upon finding out his daughter has been kidnapped in the pseudo-South American country of Realia, Saul Myers, a veteran of the French Foreign Legion, must head to Realia on a rescue mission. Saul must navigate through the Realian Valley; a region full of tropical jungles, farms, villages, and estates. Saul now has to manage to make his way through the landscape while navigating through dicey situations with corrupt politicians and criminal organizations to find his daughter’s whereabouts.

Manage your reputation. While there are no immediate enemies in the game, it is all in how you play. While the natural habitat of Realia can be dangerous, being home to snakes and large predators, there are six factions for Saul to try to satisfy. While these relationships begin neutral, completing missions can raise or lower your reputation with the Realian government, guerrillas, the mafia, native tribes, bandit groups, and even the CIA.

But be careful, creating allies can lead to unrest and enemies elsewhere.


Boiling Point: Road to Hell was initially published by Atari and released in 2005 and was part of a wave of role-playing shooter titles that included Far Cry, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, and Saints Row.

In this PC re-release, you can enjoy an unfiltered narrative experience, more gunfire and explosions than you can shake a glowing red barrel at, and major improvements to the game’s stability from current developer Big Boat to make this the definitive Boiling Point experience. Further, the game features EFIGS language support, with English voice acting and French, German, Italian, and Spanish (ES) subtitles.

Key Features:

  • Create your own fate in an immense world
  • Over 240 sq. miles (450 km^2) - affected by every decision and action
  • Drive trucks and tanks; pilot helicopters, planes, and boats
  • Select an arsenal of upgradeable firepower
  • Align with or oppose police, guerillas, South American Mafia, CIA, and more

Boiling Point: Road to Hell is coming to PC (Steam / GOG) on November 14, 2023. A 10% off exclusive launch week discount will also be available for both GOG and Steam, with GOG extending their discount through November 20 as part of a weeklong Ziggurat Publisher Sale.
