Strictly Limited Games announces Rising Hell now available for pre-order

Strictly Limited Games has announced that Tahoe Games’ upcoming 2D rogue-lite Rising Hell will get a physical release on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

Rising Hell is a vertical-action rogue-lite developed from Tahoe Games and is filled with “adrenaline-pumping action” and “tons of bone-shredding heavy-metal riffs.”

Pre-orders for the game will begin at 6 p.m. EST on Dec. 12 at exclusively at the Strictly Limited Games website. A boxed limited edition and special limited edition will be available.

What’s rising from hell?

Rising Hell stars Arok, a sinner wielding a mysterious bestial arm with the power to kill demons. Along his journey, he must fight his way through hordes of blood-lusting abominations and ascend through the vertically randomly-generated and depths of hell. His goal is to reach freedom and resurrect his dark master Lucifer.

“Head-banging heavy metal riffs and gorgeously grotesque pixel graphics will accompany you on your climb, facing the bug-ridden Beelzebub’s Lair, and other pits of hell with different creatures, bosses, and living traps lurking at every turn,” the announcement for the game read. “To stand a chance, you need to chain together combos, complete jumping maneuvers and collect red orbs from slain foes, to spend on mighty buffs and talents.”

Features: 

  • Slay in style while head-banging to heavy-metal riffs
  • Vertical hell-ride: Climb out of ever-changing, procedurally-generated hell by chaining together jump-attacks and satisfying combos  
  • In true rogue-lite fashion, the threat of permadeath is ever present, but if you meet your demise, you come back stronger, as buffs continue to level up
  • Unlock and play additional cursed characters to explore a variety of playstyles, including the powerful Sydna or the agile rogue fiend Zelos 
  • Fight epic boss battles, slaying ancient demons such as Dagon, Beelzebub and more
