About the Game


STHELL is a fast-paced arena shooter with roguelite elements that will take you to a forgotten swamp that was once a test site of Kiratron Industries - a company that specializes in robotics and experimental weaponry. Years have passed and their designs were left to rust in the swamps, yet instead of staying offline forever they have gone on a rampage and it is up to you to decommission them for good by means of superior firepower.




During each run you will gather credits that you can spend between runs to unlock new abilities and permanent upgrades. You will need them to square-off against progressively more murderous machines and even more brutal bosses. Test out new builds and weapons to fine-tune your robot scrapping prowess.

Compare your robot scrapping skills on the global leaderboards or create your own and compete against your friends. Test the limits of your skills and character loadouts against progressively harder and tougher mechanized murder machines. Every millisecond you defy death brings you higher and higher on the world’s leaderboard.
