Hellreaper is the love child of Dark Souls and Dead Cells, quite the combination of grim terms when you stop to think for a moment. PC gamers have been graced yet again with another indie title without an unspecified date of arrival, but fret not because it might soon be revealed in this year perhaps. Roguelikes are truly a genre that the indie world loves to have because they tend to be very easy to make if you aren’t good at level making. Level creation seems to be a lost art because randomizing things constantly just brings that solution, alas, making games isn’t about finding solutions, but making art.
Hellreaper is a Dark Souls aesthetic roguelike
The grim nature of Hellreaper is obvious, and its obviously rooted in the dark fantasy genre when it comes to design, the eldritch abominations that we face truly feel like Dark Souls bosses in a 2D plane, similar to Salt And Sanctuary, but there’s more. In this case we are tasked with traversing a world invaded by hell itself, which makes up for quite the atmosphere when you consider all the dangers that would lurk in a place like that, truly a scary atmosphere. For fans of Dead Cells, its clear that this game is made for them, as the idea of a 2D Souls Like Roguelike lives in this game.
Hellreaper is done by a studio that knows that they are doing, they have been working on games in since 2013, which means they have pretty much 12 years of experience in the industry. This time, they might be able to provide a hit that revolutionizes the indie space rather than just follow trends, Hellreaper needs your help in the algorithm war, so perhaps you should go an add it to your wishlist to help it get more recognition.
