About This Game

Hell sends thousands. You bring a build that shouldn't exist.

9 Layers of Hell is a horde survivor inspired by Dante's Inferno, with the loot and build depth of an action RPG. Pick Knight, Ranger or Wizard, lower the cage and fight your way down. Every run starts from scratch, and every run ends with a different build.

SHAPE YOUR OWN SPELLS

Turn a simple Fireball into an ice storm. Change its element, split it into a volley, make it hunt enemies down, then send it rolling through the horde. Every spell takes upgrades that change how it works, not just how hard it hits.

LEGENDARIES THAT REWRITE YOUR BUILD

A staff that wraps you in a ring of hellfire. A bow that calls lightning down on shocked enemies. Boots that leave flames behind every dash. A sword that grows a blizzard around you with every frozen kill. There are over 80 legendaries. Each one changes how you play, and the right one is worth building your whole run around.

FORGE YOUR GEAR

Hell is open for business.

• Fuse two items into a stronger one at the Blacksmith.

• Upgrade your weapon at the Ghostforge.

• Gamble an item at the Cursed Shrine: it might come back stronger, or not at all.

• Let the Hag curse an item with a powerful new stat, and a price to pay.

• Reroll and switch stats at the Alchemyst.

And yes, Hell has a slot machine.

NINE BOSSES GUARD THE WAY DOWN

Every layer ends with a boss standing between you and the next one. Beat it and Hell curses you, but you choose how: tougher enemies, less life, faster demons. Every curse makes the descent harder and asks more of your build. Want more power? A demon will let you pick a legendary, for one more curse.

DIE. REBUILD. GO AGAIN.

Unlock new classes, skills and permanent upgrades in the town of Florentia, then get back in the cage.

SOLO DEV

9 Layers of Hell is a one-person passion project. If it looks like your kind of game, a wishlist helps more than you'd think :)
