About the Game

Slash to the end of Hell!

Hellwake: Hordes of Styx is a fast-paced first person hack & slash roguelike where you must fight your way through hordes of demons and bosses in procedural generated maps. Each character has different primary and secondary abilities. Grab loot on the way, level up your character, draft powerful Invocations and survive for as long as you can! Will you survive until the end?

Combine Invocations & Increase your Power

Slay demons, collect XP and level up your build. Abilities are randomly offered to enhance your primary and secondary attacks, creating powerful synergies and making every run unpredictable.

Explore for Extra Rewards

Search the map for optional interactables that grant powerful bonuses during your run, such as increased rarity, bonus experience, improved stats and other helpful effects.

Master the Skill Tree

Every run brings you closer to becoming stronger. Earn Skill Points to unlock permanent upgrades and invest them into three distinct Skill Trees. As you progress, powerful Ultimate Skills become available, allowing you to further specialize your build.
