Our take on Hellwatch
The game focuses on repeated cooperative survival attempts, trading a fixed progression path for runs that change after failure. That design puts the emphasis on adapting to new conditions and selecting equipment during each attempt rather than following one stable sequence.
What is Hellwatch?
Hellwatch is an online cooperative roguelite for squads of four.
Players defend the Soulforge, a celestial structure that converts demonic souls into weapons, while fighting invading creatures and seeking better equipment. Runs change after failure, altering the environment and the enemies encountered. Characters can support allies or drain their power, and collected items grant new abilities and skills. Death consumes life energy and changes the character’s essence, making adaptation and equipment choices part of each attempt. The game centers on surviving for as long as possible, repeating the cycle of fighting, dying, and returning to a changed challenge.
