About Penny Blood: Hellbound

Adopt the role of six hyper-powered anarchists in action-packed roguelike Penny Blood: Hellbound, as you attempt to break free of a prison unlike any you’ve ever witnessed. Die, die, and die again to collect malice and forge allegiances with fellow prisoners in order to learn new skills and enhance your abilities as you fight to escape this extraordinary hellscape. From dark JRPG mastermind, Matsuzo Machida, developed by industry veterans at NatsumeAtari, featuring art by Miyako Kato, and with a brand-new soundtrack from Yoshitaka Hirota and Noriyuki Iwadare, enjoy a taste of the tenebrous in this prequel to the upcoming title, Penny Blood.

THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY (is still my enemy)

Become the Hellhounders, a band of anarchists each with their own unique weapons, skills, and personalities trapped in a bizarre interdimensional prison. Delve deeper into this dungeon to uncover the motives behind their mysterious captors, the Celestial Rainbow, and mix and max your character pairings to maximize on mayhem and customize the carnage.

UNCOVER SHADOWS OF THE PAST

Relive the Roaring 1920s as Penny Blood: Hellbound takes you through the fallout of World War I and the shadowy side of the societal changes that ensued. Featuring NPCs and bosses connected to true crime and real-world history, the Hellhounders’ story gives an intimate look at some of the issues and events of the era.

A BLOODY GOOD TIME

Bloodsurf the sanguinary surface of gore left in the wake of your destruction to slip past foes and cleave through hordes of the grotesque. Harvest energy from violence and unleash devastating attacks upon those foolish enough to stand in your way!

EVERY RUN COUNTS

Your prison cell is your hub world which you’ll be teleported to every time you die, but you won’t return empty-handed. Malice gained upon each revival can be used in many different ways to permanently increase and diversify your strengths.

THE MORE, THE MESSIER!

Join forces with your friends in online multiplayer mode as you bloodsurf through the worlds of Mictlan. Time your attacks to wipe out waves of enemies, and combine your courage to challenge the more menacing abominations that lurk within this prison.

There is a lingering cloud over this game - which is so creative and interesting in its settings and character design, and punches way above its weight with its extended codex writing - a worry that the larger experience may never come out. I hope it does, but this game works on its own. Seeing less than a hundred reviews is crazy for what's on offer here - a bit rough around the edges, sure, but a competent roguelite with above average everything else. It even offers a story mode for people who'd just like to see the world and read the narrative. If you are a fan of Hades-esque narrative roguelikes, Shadow Hearts or Koudelka, or horror themes, I'd recommend picking this up. I hope they make more. Also - Iwadare OST - HUGE plus. You know Godot's theme? Fragrance of Dark Coffee? Expand that to a game pulling from 1920s Americana, jazzy and excellent, instantly pulled me in, 10/10

If it wasn't for the Shadow Hearts universe tie in I probably wouldn't have even noticed this game. I enjoyed it enough to complete it but I got burned out by the end. A little bit too grindy for my tastes but overall it's a solid game.

Really fun game. Combat and progression is good. Had no issues with bugs or glitches.

Super fun, though it tends to make my PC heat up and crash when there's too much blood.

This is the best game I've ever played, being part of the Shadow Hearts universe. I would give this game 8.5/10 for it's rich storyline and world building. Sometimes it's difficult to do but I'll still love it.

Doesn't feel good to play. There are similar games out there that have a better flow to it
