Boiling Point: Road to Hell is a hybrid of a shooter, RPG and sandbox in the style of the GTA series. The production is powered by the second edition of the Vital engine known from Codename: Outbreak from 2001.


The main character of the game is Saul Myers, a former member of the Foreign Legion. An ex-soldier travels to the fictional country of Realia in South America to find his daughter, the journalist Lisa. Once there, he will have to cooperate with various factions (government, militants, drug cartel, bandits, Indians or the CIA agency).


Boiling Point is not a classic FPS, it is a title in which action elements combine with character development and conversation typical of role-play games. Some of the information about Saul's daughter has a price (just like any weapon or useful gadget), so the player has to work for specific factions, thus exposing himself to other groups. The general reputation of the hero is illustrated by the attitude of civilians to his character.


The player can move relatively freely on a map with an area of ​​625 km2, sitting at the controls of ground or air vehicles. Importantly, it is not divided into sectors, thanks to which the developers managed to avoid loading screens. The entire area loads once when starting the game.
