Boiling Point: Road to Hell (Xenus: Точка кипения, Xenus: Boiling Point) is a 2005 first-person shooter game developed by Ukrainian game studio Deep Shadows and published by Atari. Boiling Point's gameplay is a combination of first-person shooter and role-playing video game mechanics, set in an open world. The game was released for Windows in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2005 and in North America on 6 June 2005.
Boiling Point: Road to Hell received mixed reviews from critics. This was attributed to the many technical issues that plagued the game's release: bugs, glitches and choppy performance. Patches have been released that address many, but not all, of these deficiencies. Deep Shadows released a successor in 2009 called White Gold: War In Paradise, and another game with the same engine called The Precursors.[4] It was re-released on Steam and GOG on 14 November 2023.
