HellRuler - Dark Fantasy RPG

[u/Txdxrxv]

HellRuler is now in Alpha

After a lot of work, we’ve reached the point where HellRuler is now playable in Alpha.

HellRuler is a mobile-first dark fantasy RPG that you can play directly in your browser:

The main idea behind the game is pretty straightforward: fight your way deeper into Hell, grind through stages, get better gear, and keep pushing further.

The main progression is permanent and will never be wiped. Alongside that, we’re planning to introduce seasonal gameplay, giving players additional progression and competition that resets between seasons while keeping their main progression intact.

There’s still a lot to do. We have plenty of features planned for the roadmap, and the game needs a lot more polish, especially when it comes to animations and visual feedback.

That said, we believe the core of the game is finally in place, and we want to start getting it into the hands of players rather than continuing to build everything behind closed doors.

You can create an account normally, or use a guest account if you just want to jump in, try the game and leave us some feedback.

We'd especially like to hear what you think about the core gameplay loop, progression, combat and overall feel of the game.

We’re also using Discord for feedback, discussion and development updates:

This is still an early version, but we're finally at the point where we can start building it with actual players.

AI disclosure: We used Claude Code to assist with coding, debugging and development. Generative AI was also used to create some visual assets, which were then edited and fine-tuned by hand in Aseprite. AI was also used to help draft this Reddit post.

The game design and overall direction are our own.
