Hellway combines the advantages of retro stylistic roguelike games. The game draws from such titles as Diablo™ and Bomberman™ but is maintained in a dark-fun atmosphere that may appeal to many gamers.
Meet Zazazel, a little devil whose mission is to reach the very bottom of hell. He can do this in two ways: tear through the dungeon killing every monster he encounters, or painlessly place booby trap bombs on unsuspecting monsters (good luck!). We hope that the game will steal the hearts of those who prefer to go through the game with tactics and those who want to touch the sword of each encountered enemy.
