Through press release means, Moonpyre and Grindstone have revealed a new game. They describe it as being a “loot-driven extraction bullet Heaven” and call it Hellforged.
Hellforged puts players in the boots of the legendary survivors of a shattered expedition. Your mission: battle through hordes of bloodthirsty demons to loot epic gear with powerful modifiers. But in Hellforged, the greatest challenge isn’t just surviving the bullet-heaven – it’s knowing when to leave.
Players must navigate a unique mid-battle extraction mechanic. At any moment, you must decide: do you safely extract your hard-earned equipment now to secure your progress, or do you risk everything for even greater rewards? One wrong move could cost you the ultimate haul, but fortune favors the bold who stay to break the Blackpyre once and for all.
Success in Hellforged depends on mastering diverse character classes, each wielding wildly unique and devastating powers. Players can further customize their playstyle through the Eternal Tree, a massive talent system where spending points unlocks synergies that perfectly complement individual combat styles.
To ensure no two runs are the same, players can use the Arsenal to influence their mid-battle upgrade pool, tilting the scales of fate in their favor. As players grow in power, they can channel gathered chaos to summon and challenge devastating bosses. These encounters test the absolute limits of a player’s build but reward the victors with the most powerful loot in the game.
Game Features:
- Extraction Bullet-Heaven Action: Experience the tension of a loot heist combined with the sensory overload of a bullet-hell shooter.
- Risk vs. Reward Extraction: Safely recover gear mid-battle or push deeper into the corruption for legendary rewards.
The Eternal Tree & Arsenal: Customize your fate with deep talent trees and an upgrade pool you can influence to match your combat style. - Diverse Survivor Classes: Play as distinct heroes with devastating abilities and unique progression paths.
- Colossal Boss Encounters: Summon and defeat powerful Stygian threats to prove your supremacy and claim the world’s most overpowered gear.
As far as we can tell, this one is destined for PC via Steam.
