Slay hordes of terrifying monsters in this horde survival roguelite. Descend into the Halls of Torment where the Lords of the underworld await you. Treasures, magical trinkets, and a growing cast of heroes will grant you the power to vanquish these horrors from beyond. How long can you survive?
Players must skillfully maneuver through hordes of terrifying monsters, strategically utilizing a diverse array of abilities, equipment, and character builds to survive wave after wave of increasingly formidable enemies. The game's horde survival gameplay draws inspiration from the beloved Vampire Survivors, but offers a level of depth and complexity that sets it apart.
The game's pre-rendered retro art style, inspired by classic isometric RPGs like Diablo, transports players to a dark, gothic fantasy world. Atmospheric sound effects and a haunting soundtrack further immerse players in the ominous Halls of Torment, fostering a tangible sense of dread and urgency as they battle the forces of the underworld.
Players can choose from a large selection of unique hero characters, each with their own starting weapons and abilities. As players progress, they unlock new abilities, equipment, and character traits, empowering them to create a vast array of synergistic builds and playstyles tailored to their preferences.
The game's quest-based meta-progression system encourages players to set and accomplish goals, unlocking new content and power-ups along the way. Completing quests grants access to new characters, abilities, items, and even entire underground worlds to explore, providing a tangible sense of advancement and growth.
Halls of Torment not only features a constant onslaught of regular enemies, but also presents players with a diverse array of formidable boss characters. These boss battles require careful management of crowd control, movement, and damage output to emerge victorious. Moreover, the game's enemies exhibit unique attack patterns and behaviors, forcing players to continuously adapt their strategies to overcome each new challenge.
In contrast to the more passive power-ups found in Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment introduces an equipment system that allows players to extract and permanently unlock items between runs. These items can significantly alter a character's playstyle and provide game-changing effects, further reinforcing the depth of the customization and progression systems.
