About This Game

Hellrifters isn’t just about survival — it’s about enduring the abyss, growing stronger run after run, and completing brutal missions until you can finally turn Hell’s fury against itself.

Start alone against the horde and unlock new heroes until your squad grows into a four-soldier death machine. Command your team in this tactical survivors roguelite, where every battlefield becomes your proving ground against grotesque demons, lethal hazards, and unforgiving objectives.

Wield Special Abilities like Bullet Time, Teleport, Decoy, and Deathball to seize control of the chaos. Go offensive or defensive — it’s your call, your style.

Build synergies across classes, weapons, and damage types to forge an unstoppable squad. Face grotesque demons, deadly hazards, and destructible arenas — every drop of blood you spill leaves its mark.

Key Features

Squad-Based Survivors-Like

• Start with 1 hero, expand to 4 — each with unique stats, weapons, and a signature upgrade path.

• Lead your team in a tactical “bead chain” formation that demands positioning, timing, and coordination.

Tactical Physics Combat

• Turn carnage into a weapon. Kick corpses and rubble into the horde and watch chaos chain across the battlefield.

Fully Destructible Arenas

• Cover shatters. Gore, scorch marks remain for the entire run.

Synergy Build System

• Earn Upgrade Modules to permanently boost stats, unlock abilities, or add passives.

• Combine permanent upgrades with mid-run class-specific level-ups for explosive builds.

8 Unique Classes

• Each with its own weapon type, stats, and one exclusive level-up category — changing how you play every run.

Tactical Slow Motion

• Browsing abilities slows time for clutch decision-making.

Revive System

• Break Hellshrines to speed up the revival of fallen heroes.

Combo XP System

• Keep kill streaks high to stack XP bursts.

Tiered Achievements

Meta Progression & Module Forging

• Level up heroes and equipment to boost base stats, and expand module slots permanently.

• Collect and dismantle modules to forge new ones — choose tier, rarity floor, and category, then pick one of three randomized results.

Layered Objectives

• Survive and complete nearly all secondary objectives to advance; finish every challenge for bonus rewards.

Diverse Enemy Roster

• From swarming critters to hulking brutes, each demon has unique behavior and exploitable weaknesses.

Hazards & Hellscapes

• Jetpack over lava, sludge, and spikes — or fall in. Your choice.

What Makes Hellrifters Stand Out

• Tactical squad-based twist on the survivors-like genre

• Tactical physics combat — kick gore and debris to control the chaos

• Fully destructible arenas with permanent battle scars

• Tactical slow motion for high-pressure moments

• One unique run-based upgrade path per character class

• Modular build system blending permanent & random upgrades

• Brutally satisfying critical kills

Progression Loop

Battle through 10 brutal Rifts, each split into escalating sub-levels.

• Start with one hero, unlock more as you conquer.

• Collect upgrade modules to grow stronger and open new build options.

• Face harder enemies and hazards with each step deeper.

• Complete secondary challenges for rare rewards.

Every run makes you stronger. Whether you win or fall, Hell remembers.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains frequent violence, blood, and gore. Enemies can die in exaggerated and graphic ways, including dismemberment and explosions into body parts. The content is stylized and over-the-top, but may not be suitable for all audiences.
