Fun game to play!

Hell's Descent is a fun little roguelite that I enjoyed mainly because it gives me a straightforward excuse to throw around ridiculous amounts of magic. I play as a sorceress fighting through hell while using different elemental powers, collecting equipment and trying to become stronger after every run. I liked how quickly the game gets into the action, because there is not much unnecessary setup before I am surrounded by enemies. The combat is built around constantly moving while using spells and buffs to deal with large groups of enemies. Fire, ice and lightning give me different ways to approach a fight, and I enjoyed experimenting with the abilities available to me rather than relying on one attack. The equipment and talent systems also give each run a little more direction, especially when I start finding combinations that make my character much stronger. I also like the roguelite structure because failure does not feel completely pointless. Dying gives me another chance to improve my build and try a different approach, which makes it easier to jump straight into another attempt. The boss encounters are a nice change of pace as well, since they require me to pay more attenti…

+Free +Some player choice -First time user experience is horrible; game starts next to a well that asks you to spend gold. Literally the first thing you will encounter in the game -Poor UX/UI design; e.g. a red ball is following the character but it's just art vs your stamina meter that indicates dash cooldown, but it's nearly impossible to see. Protip: just show the RED ball if you can dash instead -Looks terrible; played without audio = Neutral review, just because it's free, but since I would not recommend such game for myself, I won't do it to you either.
