11 itemsAbout the Game
Hexborn is a blood-fueled roguelite FPS where 90s-style boomer shooter combat meets Vampire Survivors–style progression and branching exploration through cursed labyrinths.
Blast through dungeons with occult weapons, carve your path through cultists and abominations, and build devastating synergies mid-run. Each chamber brings escalating horrors — survive, adapt, and embrace the curse.
💀 WISHLIST NOW to be the first to descend into the Bloodstone Labyrinth 💀
KEY FEATURES:
🩸 BOOMER SHOOTER CHAOS MEETS ROGUELITE POWER GROWTH
Fight escalating waves in handmade rooms arranged into procedural runs inspired by Blood, Doom, and 90s FPS brutality — every kill fuels the ritual.
🌀 EXPLORE PROCEDURAL DUNGEONS
No two runs are the same. Branching paths, cursed shrines, relic rooms, and twisted layouts keep every descent unpredictable and bring back the thrill of uncovering a world, not just surviving it.
🧨 OCCULT ARSENAL
Wield devastating tools like Lucian’s triple-barreled shotgun, the Necronomicon spellbook, and the napalm launcher, all handcrafted to feel brutal, distinct, and satisfying.
🔮 SURVIVORS-LIKE PROGRESSION WITH RETRO GUNPLAY
Level up mid-run and choose from randomized perks across Blood, Fire, Shadow, and Machine archetypes. Stack synergies and evolve fast.
♻️ ENDLESS REPLAYABILITY
Randomized perks, relic trades, enemy waves, and room layouts make every run a fresh, chaotic challenge and every build uniquely broken.
STORY:
Play as Lucian Cross, a fallen cultist bound to a demon, trapped in the shifting Bloodstone Labyrinth. Fight to stop the resurrection of a forgotten god or be consumed by the power you wield. Each run is a violent descent into madness, where kills fuel new perks, and every choice reshapes cursed arenas, shrines, and sacrificial chambers. The dungeon is alive, the doors seal behind you… and the only way out is through.
Prepare to descend into the darkness, where every choice could be your last.
👉 Wishlist Hexborn and prepare to descend — the only way out is through.
