Our take on Penny Blood: Hellbound
Death returns the player to a prison-cell hub, where malice gathered during the run can become permanent character upgrades.
What is Penny Blood: Hellbound?
Penny Blood: Hellbound is a roguelike action game set in an interdimensional prison.
Play as one of six anarchists, each with distinct weapons and skills, and pair characters as the group explores the dungeon.
