A trip to collect goals between pancakes and demon girls.
That of puzzle game it is one of the oldest genres, but also one of the most loved. In 2020 Helltaker was released, a puzzle game with dating sim components, distributed for free for PC on Steam from the Polish developer Vanripper.
The plot of the game is as simple as it is delusional: we will play the role of a man who has come to hell for the sole purpose of building a harem of demons. With similar premises it's not hard to see why Helltaker was successful: the title relies, in fact, on extremely charismatic female characters with a cartoon style. Since its publication on the Valve store, a very dedicated fandom has come to be built, even willing to delve into the history of the various girls through the comics published on Twitter by the author of the game.
The anniversary of the release recently took place, and with it, new achievements have arrived for you to unlock.
