Helltaker 1.0

There has been a rise of quirky, meta aware indie games recently, likely spearheaded by some fantastic hits like LISA and UNDERTALE. These games have a likeable cast of characters and has a distinct sense of humor that feels like its always winking at the player. Helltaker is one of the latest games to follow this trend and it's easily one of the most solid ones despite its short length.

Do note that you need Steam to install this game. Once that's done, go to this link to install it.

The premise of Helltaker is tongue in cheek and straight to the point. The main character wakes up one day with a dream - to have a harem of demon girls - and heads straight to hell to fulfill his dream. From there, you recruit a new demon girl into your harem every level, all with their own design and personality. Each level has a limited number of moves and you have to figure out a way to reach the demon girl before you die.

Considering this game is completely free, this game is very high quality. The soundtrack is amazingly catchy and never outstays its welcome, the gameplay is tight and well designed, and the general audio design is top tier. On top of that, each demon is appealing in their own way and the visual style all meshes together extremely well.

Overall, Helltaker is an incredibly fun game for the amount of money you put into it - nothing. Take an hour or two out of your day to play it.
