About This Game

ENDURE THE ABYSS. BUILD THE SQUAD. TURN HELL AGAINST ITSELF.

Hellrifters is a physics-driven squad roguelite where you start alone against the horde and grow into a four-soldier death machine.

Fight through grotesque demon-infested battlefields filled with lethal hazards, destructible environments, and brutal mission objectives. Every run makes your squad stronger. Every battle pushes you deeper into Hell.

Choose your upgrades, unlock new heroes, forge powerful module builds, and use special abilities like Bullet Time, Teleport, Decoy, and Deathball to take control of the chaos.

Survive the abyss long enough, and Hell’s fury becomes your weapon.

FEATURES

BUILD YOUR FOUR-HERO SQUAD

Start with a single fighter and unlock new heroes as you progress. Expand into a full four-character squad, each with unique stats, weapons, and a signature upgrade path.

CONTROL A LIVING CHAIN OF DEATH

Lead your team in a precision-based “bead chain” formation where positioning, timing, and coordination matter just as much as raw firepower.

TURN DESTRUCTION INTO A WEAPON

Blast enemies apart and send debris, gore, and shattered bodies flying through demon ranks. In Hellrifters, destruction is not just visual — it is part of combat.

FIGHT THROUGH DESTRUCTIBLE BATTLEFIELDS

Shatter cover, wreck the environment, and leave behind scorch marks, blood, and gore that remain for the entire run.

CREATE DEVASTATING BUILDS

Every level-up offers meaningful choices. Take free core upgrades to stay flexible, or invest points into powerful premium options to push your squad toward a specialized build.

FORGE LONG-TERM SYNERGY

Collect Upgrade Modules to permanently boost stats, unlock special abilities, and add passives. Combine meta progression with class-specific mid-run upgrades for powerful synergies across classes, weapons, and damage types.

MASTER UNIQUE CHARACTER CLASSES

Each class has its own weapon type, stat profile, and exclusive level-up category, changing the rhythm and tactics of every run.

USE SPECIAL ABILITIES TO CONTROL CHAOS

Slow time with Bullet Time, reposition with Teleport, distract enemies with Decoy, or unleash destructive force with Deathball. Choose the right tool for the moment and shape the fight your way.

MAKE CLUTCH DECISIONS IN SLOW MOTION

Browsing abilities slows time, giving you breathing room to think, react, and turn overwhelming situations into tactical victories.

BRING YOUR SQUAD BACK INTO THE FIGHT

Destroy Hellshrines and Hellpumps to speed up the revival of fallen heroes and recover from the brink of collapse.

KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING

Maintain kill streaks to build combo chains and trigger bursts of bonus Slay Points, rewarding aggressive and skillful play.

COMPLETE CHALLENGES, EARN REWARDS

Take on 3-tier achievement challenges tied to weapons, abilities, and combos to gain extra XP and prove mastery.

FORGE YOUR PROGRESSION

Level up heroes to unlock perks, improve equipment, boost base stats, and permanently expand module slots. Collect and dismantle modules to forge new ones by selecting a tier, rarity floor, and category, then choosing from randomized results.

SURVIVE MISSIONS, COMPLETE OBJECTIVES

Push through each mission by surviving the horde and completing secondary objectives. Clear every challenge for bonus rewards and stronger long-term progression.

FACE A VARIED DEMON HORDE

Battle everything from swarming lesser fiends to massive brutes, each with its own behavior, threat profile, and exploitable weaknesses.

SURVIVE HELLSCAPES

Cross lava, sludge, and other deadly hazards with your jetpack — or get dragged down into the chaos below.

PUSH DEEPER WITH EVERY RUN

Fight through brutal Rifts, each divided into escalating sub-levels. Unlock new heroes, face tougher enemies, claim rarer rewards, and grow stronger with every descent.

Whether you survive or fall, Hell remembers.
