The player takes on the role of a knight filled with hatred and struggle. During the game the protagonist will have to fight with various demons in order to save the mysterious girl that previously saved him.
Down to Hell is a dynamic slasher with a dark and gritty art style. During the gameplay the player using both weapons and magic will have to fight various terrifying demons.
Moreover, in each chapter, there will be at least 3 bosses, where each of them will be a particularly demanding opponent.
Both in the game and especially in the soundtrack, there won’t be any compromises. The soundtrack will be fully metal in crucial moments (incl. Decapitated, KORONAL and more!), the art style also will be heavily inspired by some great metal covers.
Features:
- Challenging combat
- Combos!
- Heave F’N Metal Soundtrack! (Decapitated, KORONAL and more!)
- Terrifying bosses to kill!
- Different endings

"Down to Hell" is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. It's a handheld (Nintendo Switch)/console game that's also been put on Steam as a bit of an afterthought, as it's very much designed for the handheld/console gaming audience.
This "dark and broody" horror themed platformer/brawler has a fantasy/horror theme and some fairly low production values, but then we shouldn't expect much from Nintendo Switch games when we're on PC. They know Steam is for PC games, right?
This game has been translated from some other language into English... badly. If this was done through Google Translate, Google Translate should feel ashamed of itself. Regardless, the language in this game is broken and will put off a lot of gamers.
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals.
The controls and game handling are notably very clunky and unsmooth here. It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed. Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing. They dropped the ball on this one.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts.
Because this is designed for handheld/portable gaming appliances, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the low power handheld gaming appliances that the game was designed for. These are unfortunate compromises and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was a second thought for the mobile game developers. The game is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for low power handhelds forces upon a game. While this might run well on a Steam Deck, we must remember the vast majority of gamers here are gaming on PC.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
"Down to Hell" didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is "THE BEGINNING", for starting the game, trivial to get, but less than 28 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, even the people who own this game weren't interested in it.
The poor quality of this game is also reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 5 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam?
"Down to Hell" has the insane price of $10 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
For comparison, the $10 asking price for this game could get you games like "Stellaris", "7 Days to Die" or "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.
very good i got maidens after playing this
plays like a flash game from newground circa 2010. I gave a dollar for it. I feel robbed.
Down to Hell I found to be pretty good. The visual aspects of the game are good. The music is good. The bad thing though is that every time I have a chance to upgrade after defeating a boss or wave of enemies, the game crashes. This game for that reason is unplayable. Why offer upgrades if the game is going to crash every time before you can choose an upgrade? This not only happened once but twice.
This game is unfinished and Devs abandoned it but that doesn't mean the game is bad, I will state some positive points about this game:
- Gameplay: if you are a souls like player, then you gonna love it.
- Visuals & disign: are so artistic and unique, the models and lore are really amazing and well made.
- Soundtrack: it's fck-ing great! it feels like you are playing DOOM.
- Price: it's just 0.99€ on sale so if we will compare the price with the game I can say 0.99€ doesn't fit this game in the slightest cuz with the soundtrack and the gameplay it's worth more but since the game is unfinished we can't complain cuz you get 2 chapters with 2h of gameplay for 0.99€.
The game's story is unfinished and never will be, they abandoned this project and started making others. I really enjoyed my time with this but I cannot recommend an unfinished and abandoned project.
Why do I hear boss music?
Disappointed. Game looks great and has great visual style but has a game-breaking bug that causes your character to become unresponsive and unable to move at all after a successful parry-attack. Seems to be a known issue but has not been addressed. Even for 99 cents a broken game is still a broken game.
So, before saying anything, let me say that I do not recommend this game *YET*. The game is bad, but has potential, lets keep in mind that it's Early Access. (EDIT: nvm it isn't on Early Access anymore. Guess it's refund time.)
What I found good:
The Boss Music
The Art Style
The Concept
What I found bad:
Repetitive and boring enemies ( this could really help with that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEC7OrvULBs )
Little to no hit-stun/reaction from enemies when struck
Parry mechanic is wack
Platforming is boring, 1 shot plant-trap thing that is hard to see, etc
Blood Rush/Dash mechanic is clunky, the dash combos don't work
Animations look clunky af, the guy looks like a mugen character
I got interested in this game due to it's art style and overall setting and lore, it reminded me a lot of Berserk (I think it was a little inspired by it). It's a shame that the game has serious problems, the combat is really simplistic, and bugs are everywhere. In my time with it I saw characters with dialogs changed with one another, a boss kept spamming me in a way that was impossible for me to defend myself or even get up (cheap) and another boss just stood there without even attacking me, waiting for me to kill her. Yet the biggest problem with this game is that THE GAME IS NOT FINNISHED. I played until the end of chapter 2 and I got the incredible message "Chapter 3 coming soon". I didn't judge the game despite all this but this one should be a very early acess title and it's not even marked as one. Despite all this I'm still interested to see if the developer will actually finish the game. I might come back to it in the future and see if patches will make it better. It's a real shame since it feels that it could have potential and I really like the soundtrack, but for now, it's a definitive no, even on sale.
The game's art style is really good it's what drew me in despite the mixed reviews, however it is definitely a "mixed" or flawed game. I bought the game for $0.99 cents and still wouldn't recommend it. Also I know I don't have a lot of time into the game however the game is easy and easily cheeseable so you can get pretty far in a short amount of time.
The pro's Art - The art style is nice especially the cutscenes.
Music - If your really into this kind of music which I think is heavy metal or death metal then it's got a lot, I personally am not into that kind of music but I didn't dislike the music in the game.
Level up - The game has some great idea's I kinda like the way you level up by defeating bosses and "waves" to earn a reward such as dealing increased damage or increased mana regen the bestiary is cool I love when games have stuff like that in them and the lore seems cool however the dialogue is not.
The con's - The game itself it just doesn't play well the Idea is great and it has potential however it fails on execution, the combat is really awkward and clunky hitboxes are weird and hard to tell if sometime will hit you especially with bosses. For example the first boss you can cheese but just jumping onto it which kinda breaks the game the boss can't hit you and you get stuck on it allowing you to destroy it easily sometimes it does push you off and I almost got softlocked by doing this but I beat the boss in 2 tries simply because I noticed this bug.
Combat - The combat is boring, kinda repetitive and the enemies aren't really hard some enemies like the wolves are kinda hard since they deal a lot of damage but other than that, not really anything hard.
Game breaking Bugs - Like I said you can easily beat the first boss by jumping on it and it can't even attack you.
The camera - The camera is in a fixed position making it hard to see where you are landing when you jump on platforms and it has a weird filter on the edges that gets annoying to look at fast.
The dialogue - Maybe it's just me but the way the characters and narrators talk is annoying and bad the narrator talks as if he's just saying cool things he's heard from other games and the main character is annoying.
Some underground forum goers have been aware, for some time, of a tactic to create and host intentionally broken games on Steam to coerce Valve into finally introducing some quality control.
This game is being sold under four bucks for a reason.....
RUN! JUMP! FIGHT! KILL! DIE! CRASH TO DESKTOP! REPEAT!
This game is, despite not having any obvious show stopper bugs that I've run into, quite possibly the worst video game I have played in at least the last 2 years, and I've played a disturbing number of absolutely terrible games.
I really wanted to like this, from the videos and from the descriptions, and online reviews... but there's nothing at all to like here.
It feels like the devs wanted to make a 2-d sidescrolling beat 'em up but had absolutely no idea how a sidescroller or beat-em-up or for that matter, a video game works, so they just made something that looked like a sidescroller beat 'em up, but using discount versions of all the mechanics, then threw in some seriously questionable graphics design problems. (you really can't see or make out much of anything in this game when you have display set for 4K, Ultra graphics mode)
Sadly, if you put any money on this game, I have high suspicions you will be sadly disappointed. Even if you got it for free, you'd be thinking that it wasn't worth the time to download it.
To fix this game, it would at least need to have the visual assets completely overhauled, a significant amount of work on controls, and a whole lot better visual indicators of when you can do something somewhere, other than tiny 2 or 4 pixel square boxes that would show you what buttons you need to hit on a controller, if you could see them.
I wanted to keep / like this but t crashed or glitch far too much....
so i have some issues with this game
first one the audio balance is awful some sounds are so loud i can hear them when not wearing my headset some i cannot hear
second the enemy bance is non existent most of the enemys are yust no chalange bot some are yust a spike in dificulty
Well so far its a lot of fun. I would recommend this game. The art work is awesome and it is a good hack and slash. Well worth it from my opinion.
So this game is a side scrolling combat-platformer, in the same vein as Castlevania, the main difference between the two is this game has a progression system which unlocks additional abilities, weapons and magic for the player. If you're like me you've seen a lot of games like this come and go on steam, but I feel like this game has something special, definitely worth the $10.
This game is HARD, there are no difficulty options for you to select and the game does not hold your hand at all. Which is a good thing in my opinion. The combat system feels pretty responsive and satisfying. The artwork is awesome.
My only criticisms of the game are pretty minor. It is obvious English is not the first language of the developers, and perhaps a little more time need be spent on localization. Often-times the narration will be far ahead of the subtitles during story moments, which is bothersome.
Overall, within the genre I give it 8/10
Honestly, the game has a lot of potential, but there are some obvious flaws.
First, the balance is just broken. Uppercut is completely overpowered, it's really fun to use, but kinda makes the basic encounters too easy. I think so far there are only 3 enemies in the game. Every one of them can be juggled for eternity.
The wolves are the only ones that are a real threat, because of their ability to deal enormous damage in a short period of time with their fast attacks, sometimes they may be frustrating to face. I haven't beaten the second boss yet, but I feel like it has attacks that aren't well telegraphed + weird hit boxes. Parrying feels really weird, having to press the button when the attack starts and not when it connects. Magic also seems pretty useless. Executions don't feel satisfying, but kinda clunky. Platforming is fine for the most part, but the hazards like the guys on the poles, or the blood geysers are toatally unecessary and slow down the flow of the game.
So far I've only found one bug, but a really annoying one. When using Blood Rush, sometimes after it is finished I wasn't able to move at all, I had to quit to title.
Great job on the graphics, tho. Boss music is awesome, but the track that usually plays gets monotonous really fast.
Depsite the issues, I can't say I'm not having fun. It's still early access and the devs seem really cool. I'm looking forward to the updates, because you can see some love put into the game.
As of now, I'd say it's worth 10$ and you should check it out,
I'm really enjoying the game so far. It has some great visuals, an awesome soundtrack and fairly difficult challenges.
Good game for small price, if you like to challenge yourself try this.
