Hell's Descent Steam Charts & Stats

Fun game to play!

This is a solid first take on a Brotato-style arena shooter. There are a bunch of frustrating things that make it less fun than Brotato: - It's a wave-based arena shooter in a small square, but the mobs never reset between waves, so you never get to breathe. Brotato works so well because of the pacing of getting to the end of those last waves, having everything reset, and going in again. That doesn't happen here. If you have 40 mobs on you and 10 hp, it will be the same when you come out of the shop phase. Good luck. - Related to the above, the difficulty curve is out of whack to where it feels like you're in the endgame 3 or 4 waves in. The first few waves and games shouldn't feel like the player is getting their teeth kicked in. - There is no way to freeze or banish items in the shop, which is terrible for these games, which are so build-dependent. - Related to the above, The meta progression feels boring and a little too specific, buffing specific spells you're unlikely to get unless the stars align. 20 damage to a spell isn't something to get excited about. - This is similar with the relics you get during the runs. If I'm a fire build, getting a relic with a cool effect unrelated to the damage I'm investing in feels bad. It's better if the trees and relics are more general so any build can use them. - Some bosses and mechanics feel overly punishing. - Fire is far ahead of the other two elements right now. All things that can be easily tweaked and balanced as time goes on. Would love to see this dev continue to cook and add more spells, skills, characters, and levels. I'd also love to see a pass on the UI and HUD so they're as beautiful as the pixel art in the game. Keep it up!
