BRUTAL COMBAT: Pit your wits against the legions of Hell! Master your enemies’ bullet patterns to use their own attacks against them.
BUILD THE DECK YOU WANT: With over 250 cards to unlock, there are endless combinations to explore. Do you want a melee build, a defensive build, or will you double down on one of the many status effects?

EPIC BOSSES: Face horrific demons straight from the nine levels of Hell. Designed to push your skills to the limits in intense battles, you’ll need to craft the perfect deck to send them back to Hell.
DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN: Inspired by tabletop games such as Eldritch Horror and Pandemic Legacy, you’ll face tough choices as Hell’s legions consume cities across the world. With different cities providing different card types as their reward, will you save the cities that help you craft the deck you want, even if it puts your campaign at more risk?
DAILY CHALLENGES: Compete for high scores against your friends with daily challenges that play out more like a regular arcade shoot-em-up. Come back for new challenges every single day!
DROP-IN/DROP-OUT CO-OP: Bring your daughter to the slaughter! Or a friend. Really, just anyone you want to play with…
